Greetings, so glad you are here!
What do you believe God's intentions were for relationships? Considering the perspective, how do you think we have or have not measured up to His expectations? Relationships often, begin with attractions. Attractions develop opportunities for interactions and interactions become the groundwork for intimacies. Thus, intimacies are the bonds of trust and commitment for defining what a relationship should be. As human beings we possess an innate desire to belong, to share common experiences. Often our approaches to relationship development, given the best intentions, are misguided. We have are more motivated by what we want, rather than what we need. Moreover we are too impulsive, often engaging in the pursuit of a relationship, before we know who we are and what we truly require.
The journey for compatibility is a learning experience, yet one that should never be taken with reckless intentions or ignorance. What may appear to be heaven on the outside, may be hell on the inside. Just as poor choice is no substitute for common sense. If it is compatibility you seek, you must give yourself the advantage by knowing what it is you need. Moreover, in the event you are faced with its alternative, you need to be strong enough to say "no", to everything that doesn't meet your established criteria. If given a choice between life or death, most people without hesitation, would choose life. Entering into a relationship should bear the same responsibility, it may not be life or death, but your happiness or your pain depends upon your ability to make sound judgments based on intelligent assessments, rather than foolish disregard.
Most relationships fail, not because there isn't potential, but because the requirements that define their commitment are not established from the onset or because of the tendency to make a round possibility, fit into a square need! Love yourself enough to choose wisely who you let into your life and once they have entered, don't give anyone a free road map to your heart, let them do the work, because you are surely worth it!
