so at my youth group last wednesday, they were talking about relationships from high-school dating to older people relationships, and i thought it was pretty neat and i am just wondering how other people feel about the following wisdom in my opinion:
in order to have a strong relationship, you gotta go after God first, because if you do not have the proper relationship with God and Jesus you will not have a great relationship with other people besides all love comes from God!!!!
additionally, one thing that some of the speakers said they found is that they found themselves to be really selfish in the relationship and that in order for those relationships to work, they gotta sacrifice themselves more (example is when your beloved wants to go out or wants to do something fun with you like a movie or videogame night or whatever and you just feel bad because today was not the best, but you still sacrifice yourself)
also attraction =/= love, but the chemistry does help in making the relationship stronger
also they talked about the gift of celibacy which i am sure others here are enjoying and find nice, and that its not a curse to be a single and you are sort of are more free in the sense that you do not have to commit to one person but you can just commit to God and live life. However you gotta make sure that Jesus and God are your everything so you ask God and Jesus and you just max out your relationship with Jesus because if not then obviously God has planned a little something something for you. Otherwise yeah celibacy can lead to friendships all over and your love may grow to encompass a lot in both relationships and celibacy so just follow God!
