Relationship Steps with the Opposite Sex

Many people get married believing they love each other and then become bitterly disappointed. These people often separate or get divorced. In such cases, there are often recurring factors. The three major factors are: 1. the individuals did not know each other well enought to know what to expect after marriage.; 2. they did not have Biblical concepts of what love is; or 3. they had become physically involved with one another almost from the outset of their relationship.

Single people need to take their time and develop relationships with the opposite sex before there is even any intimate kissing

CONSIDERATIONS DURING RELATIONSHIP

1. Are you guys really trying to get to know each other?

2. What does each person want out of the relationship?

3. Try not to experiment sexually, it makes thing confusing....even for the guy

4. Where are you compatible and what is your differences?

5. Begin to build positive relationship with environment (other friends, family, and careers)

6. What is the other looking for in a role of a mate?

7. Determine if you can really meet the needs of each other?

8. Observe how you intend, and how you actually express your feelings to each other. Is it satisfactory to you. Be honest, talk about it. See how the other adjust. (don't lie to yourself)

9. Discover future life and possible family goals. (where do you see yourself)

10. How do you work on disappointments. (what happens when you cant afford something)

E.g. a good idea is to save together for a trip, or something you guys would love to do together. Then you can see how well each other focus on economic goals.

11. Take your time and don't rush these processes. Don't worry about what people say if the relationship doesn't work. If you both communicate very well, you should both be in support of decisions.
