1) BASED ON PHYSICAL ATTRACTION ALONE
Aside from the fact that both of you love each other’s looks, complexion, appearance, etc, there’s nothing substantial about the relationship. You’re always gushing about how beautiful or handsome your partner is, how long her hair is, and how hairy and broad-chested he is. You’re in love with looks nothing more, nothing less. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain.
2) BASED ON FINANCIAL GAINS ONLY
Whoever told you that a relationship is meant to be your poverty alleviation program lied to you. If you’re in that relationship solely because of what you stand to gain financially, quit now before it’s too late.
3) BASED ON S’EX ALONE
Believers should keep the marriage bed UNDEFILED, holy, and pure. Once s’ex is involved, quit!
4) THAT MAKES YOU BITTER INSTEAD OF MAKING YOU BETTER
Any relationship that keeps serving you limes instead of smiles is doomed. Run away from any relationship that makes you share tears of sorrow regularly.
5) WHERE THE LOVE IS ONE-SIDED
Love has to be mutual. Avoid any relationship where you find yourself struggling to love your partner. Loving someone is effortless and comes naturally. Don’t beg anyone to marry you, nor should you marry anyone out of pity. If you’re not feeling the love now, chances are that you won’t feel it in the marriage.
6) WHERE THERE ARE OBVIOUS RED FLAGS
Red flags are like road bumps. So, the moment you start seeing different red flags in a relationship, match the break and do a U-Turn.
7) THAT MESSES WITH YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
You matter! Once your men’tal health is at stake, please take a walk!
8) WHERE DOME’STIC VI0LENC£ IS THE NORM
Quit with immediate effect once D.V. is involved.
9) WHERE YOU’RE ONLY SEEN BUT NOT HEARD
Any relationship that silences you is not a healthy and Godly one.
10) THAT SEVERES THE CONNECTION YOU HAVE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Once you can’t freely relate with friends and family because of a relationship, this is a huge red flag!
11) THAT IS TO’XIC
To’xic relationships are deadly. Avoid them at all costs.
12) WHERE YOUR PARTNER IS OVERLY CONTROLLING AND DOMINEERING
A controlling partner is dangerous and frustrates you.
13) THAT IS CHARACTERIZED BY INCESSANT CONFLICTS
There will be conflicts, but if they’re the order of the day, that’s a serious signal for you to take a walk.
14) WHERE YOU BOTH DO NOT SHARE THE SAME CORE VALUES
Your core values must align. Once this isn’t the case, it’s an invitation to future problems.
15) WHERE YOU BOTH HAVE CONFLICTING RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
A Christian should marry a fellow Christian. Don’t mix up religions in marriage. Marry your type!
16)THAT DRAWS YOU AWAY FROM GOD
Your relationship with God comes first. Your spiritual life matters a great deal. If it’s affecting your spiritual life, quit.
Remember, a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage!
