My precious single friends, I wanna share with you today something very important in life and that is PURPOSE.
Purpose is one of the key things that keep a relationship going and healthy, purpose is knowing that you have a reason for living. A reason to live together.
Many relationship out there lack purpose. Most youths this days just start a relationship for the fun of it. Nothing is keeping them busy, no important reason for their being in relationship except that they just feel like being in a relationship with someone or probably to satisfy their sexual urge. And once the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is definitely inevitable.
Please know that It is important that you know your individual purposes and that of your relationship. God is a God of purpose and everything he does or orchestrates is for a purpose. The primary purpose of any godly relationship must be for Marriage( So don’t even start any relationship you know will not lead to marriage), and there are also other reasons God is prompting you to start a relationship and you must be dutiful enough to inquire of God these reasons. If you check this scripture “Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.” (Acts 8:29), you will discover that the reason God orchestrated the relationship between the eunuch and philip is to help the eunuch. So also one of the reasons God lead us into a relationship is to help us get better and also to prepare us for the future.
So dear friends, it is better you discover your purpose early enough.
Ladies, it is also very important you ask from any guy that proposes to you his purpose, the reason he want to marry you and so on. Adam had a purpose before he started a relationship with eve (Genesis 2:7-8).
Discovering your purpose early enough will help whoever lady God is bringing into your life to fit into such purpose and also prepare herself for the purpose(Remember she’s meant to be a help suitable for you, Gen 2:18).
Also purpose help you to be focus and also to overcome challenges that may show up along the way in the relationship. It was purpose that made Jesus to endure the challenges/shame he faced (Heb 12:2)
Finally, I will advise that if you are yet to discover your purpose, don’t think of starting a relationship. Starting a relationship without discovering your purpose is like boarding a bus without knowing your destination. And if you are already in a relationship but yet to discover purpose, its not too late. You can still trust and ask God to reveal your purpose(reason for living) to you and He will (Jeremiah 33:3).
For your relationship, take time to ask yourselves why are we together? What is our reason for being in love? And try to work towards fulfilling that purpose.
Wishing you a healthy relationship.
