Relational Skills: Find the Love of Your Life
According to Rick Warren on the church’s Youtube video on Sep 26, 2017, they have over 30,000 single adults. He noted that he does not want them to make mistakes in choosing the right person to save them from a lot of pain.
Warren noted that there would be two most vital questions for people in life. First is if they would ever get married, and secondly, if they would decide to marry, who will it be. He quoted the Bible verse from Proverbs 12:26, which says, “The righteous chooses his friends carefully.” He added that if people decide on their friends, they should be more careful in determining who would be their life partner.
Warren added that many people end up in the wrong marriage for the wrong reason. In his preaching, he provided some guidelines from the Bible of the things that people should have, and the other person should have to marry them.
God has given some of the minimum requirements to save His people from pain. The first list Warren mentioned is that couples should have spiritual unity. It means they believe in the same thing about God. He emphasized that if a person is not spiritually unified with their spouse, they would never enjoy the physical, sexual, and emotional intimacy God desired for their marriage.
