I read many blogs about "Why women don't want good men" and "Why men treat women like dirt" and so on and so on. Everyone seems to have their own answers about "bad men" and "bad women". Out of all the entries I read, no one ever considers the fact that their relationship with Christ not only effects their own lives, but it effects their actions when in relationships. I see my parents who have been together for 27 years, they are willing to be the first to tell you that God is the foundation of their lives and their relationships. Perhaps if more couples allow Christ into their relationship, there would be less break ups and a lower divorce rate.
I can only speak as an unmarried woman. My main goal is to serve God first. I pray daily that he molds me into a productive citizen, a strong soldier in the army of the Lord, and a good woman for a good man. I believe the number one issue with failed relationships is the two partners are not equally yoked. Equally yoked means the two of you are on the same playing field. Couples need to have things in common and one of the main things to have in common is God.
Another important fact to consider is that couple these days disrespect the sanctity of sex. I found a scripture that may open many eyes.

16 -20There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never "become one." There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.
My main suggestion is to stop worrying about being in a relationship with a man/woman and focus more on the relationship with Christ. If you are not right in Christ, you wont be all that together in other relationships. Until next time...
