When it comes to relationships, there is no truth in the statement “catch them young and they’ll be yours forever.” Human beings are developing every passing day; situations and experiences are shaping us towards our destiny and purpose. You can’t deny anyone that growth.
Someone can decide to get into a wrong relationship at a very early stage of their lives when they are not ready, not prepared, or don’t know much, but when they grow and develop, they are able to know they are in a wrong relationship and get out of it.
Although you catch her young, there is a greater possibility she will leave as she matures, for the scripture says, “When we were children, we thought and reasoned as children do. But when we grew up, we quit our childish ways”—1 Corinthians 13:11 (CEV).
There are a couple of people looking for relationships, offering all sorts of incentives in a bid for a relationship or marriage. Before you accept any proposal, take time to examine yourself to see if you are ready for marriage. Be true to yourself; you don’t need to date to gain experience for marriage; this is not a career you need experience for.
In conclusion, “Don’t brashly announce what you’re going to do tomorrow; you don’t know the first thing about tomorrow” – Proverbs 27:1 (MSG).
