So much to be learned about the "best way" to do relationships. It's interesting how everything that began as good has somehow been twisted to be bad. Sex, outside of marriage is sometimes exalted- but produces guilt, shame, jealousy, low trust....just to name a few. But, sex inside of marriage, as the Bible states in Hebrews 13 is honorable. Marriage is honorable among all. Living together is not. And, as we talked about last night- we are not representing those who want to yell at people from the Bible. We want to reveal the true results of living together outside of a lifetime commitment, or marriage. We saw that fear was a big motivator for people to move in together. Their parents couldn't hold it together, so the next generation decides to "test drive" for compatibility before they make the purchase. But, ladies....let me again reiterate- what guy would NOT want to have everything from you without a commitment? Where is the mystery? We live in a society where women reveal too much (and so do guys- "pants on the ground") There is such a draw for guys to mystery, and there just seems to be so little of it in relationships. I'm not talking about being weird or creepy. I'm talking about dressing modestly to leave something to the imagination. And, Kelly mentioned something powerful last night- most women would rather recieve the love of one man than the attention of many. If that's the case, and I believe it is....as believers, we need to hold our standards high even in a long relationship. You can't do it alone. You need constant encouragement. Just don't go through your life missing the opportunity to be full of joy, live with complete trust and enjoy each and every day without looking over your shoulder or living under the cloud of consequence. Need forgiveness? He's got plenty to hand out. Trust God with your singleness. Let Him lead in your relationships (and maybe future marriage). Ask him to help you become a whole person. And, then be satisfied in Him.....
