Relationship Goals: How to Win at Dating, Marriage, and Sex

by Michael Todd

The truth is, having a goal without aim is senseless, but having a goal without God is pointless.

What is your goal?

My goal is to start our marriage off standing on the foundation of Christ. That way we can have a marriage grounded in the Lord

There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. (Proverbs 14:12)

I believe the beauty of life is being a part of something that is way bigger than yourself. It’s God’s plan.

Yesssahhhhhh !!!!!!

it: “We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago” (Ephesians 2:10).

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. (Psalm 32:8, NKJV)

The more we seek Him, the more we’ll find out what He wants for us and the more we’ll desire to pursue it. God will help us find the right target for our relational arrows. And it will be better than we could find anywhere else.

God is the real, ultimate, and total winner in this universe. If you’re with Him, you’ll be a winner too.

It’s the relationship, our ultimate relationship, and all blessings flow out of that relationship. In fact, one of those blessings is that He enables us to do our other relationships at their highest possible level. When we put God first, He’ll bless the rest.

Godly relationships are about sacrificing for others, showing kindness, having integrity, forgiving one another, and all kinds of other tough stuff like that.

God please help me to understand fully how to work in relationships so that I may hold godly ones

But I know this: God can heal. God can redeem. God can put us back on track and bring good things out of a bad situation.

One other thing: relationship itself is a purpose. God gives you friends so you can build into their lives and they can build into yours.

says God can renew our minds and transform

The truth of the matter is that you are worth discovering. Nobody can do it for you, and nobody will make you do it, but everybody benefits from it.

Can I just pause for a moment and tell you that He loves you a lot? So much, in fact, that He gave up the most valuable thing He had—His Son—just so He could have the opportunity to build a close relationship with you. (John 3:16, anybody?)

Sync up with God’s sequence: love God and build relationship with Him, love yourself and embrace your singleness, and then love others.

I know the world makes it seem like if you’re single, you should stay ready to mingle, but—like Diamond found out—it’s okay to be single and under construction. Singleness is a time for building a basis that will help your future relationships endure.

Being single doesn’t make you insufficient or insignificant; it just means you have more time to develop and get to know yourself. I challenge you to use this time wisely. Singleness isn’t an excuse to take a back seat on life but an opportunity to wholeheartedly pursue your own purpose.

It’s important to consider how you process information, resolve conflict, and receive love and how you perceive the world around you while it’s just you and God. Spending time looking in the mirror at yourself will save you so much time later on when another person is in the picture

First Corinthians 15:33 says, “Bad company corrupts good character.”

And then it says, “Stop sinning.” Just stop. Please, I’m begging you: stop. Why? Because if you’re making decisions in a sinful state, your flesh will always lie to you. So, let that door close. Repent. Turn. And begin again.

“Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God” (Romans 6:13).

Bro, it goes for you too. You’re more than your body. If you would think about your full worth in Christ and not be instructed by your other head, I believe God would use you. He would make you a man of valor, a man of honor, a man of stature. You can lead a wife and children. You can be a man who says, “As for me and my family, we will serve the LORD” (Joshua 24:15).

Marriage is a godly soul tie. If you are married, God wants you and your husband or you and your wife to be connected on a soul level, satisfying each other spiritually, mentally, and emotionally and working to fulfill each other’s desires for as long as you both shall live.

“What do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?” (Matthew 16:26).

marriage. God’s participation in the marriage makes it possible for the husband to fulfill his purposes, for the wife to fulfill her purposes, and for the marriage to fulfill its purposes.

(Ephesians 4:3).

He wanted it to be one God, one man, one woman, one marriage, one sex partner, one flesh, one lifetime to create one picture.

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs” (NIV).
