5 Hidden Truths About Relationships Every Believer Should Know

 Think Before You Start a Relationship: 5 Hidden Truths Nobody Tells You

Relationships are beautiful. They can bring joy, companionship, and even help you grow into a better version of yourself. But they can also bring pain, regrets, and wasted years if entered without wisdom. That’s why it is important to pause, reflect, and think carefully before starting any relationship.

Here are 5 hidden truths about relationships that many people don’t tell you:

1. Love Alone Is Not Enough

Love is powerful, but it cannot pay bills, solve character flaws, or build respect. A lasting relationship requires commitment, understanding, and shared values—not just feelings.

2. Character Speaks Louder Than Words

A person may promise you the world, but their actions reveal their true self. Watch how they treat people, how they handle anger, and how they respond to challenges. That’s their real identity.

3. Spiritual Agreement Matters

The Bible says, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). If you do not share the same faith and core values, conflict will eventually arise. Never ignore spiritual differences.

4. Your Purpose Should Align

Every relationship is either pushing you towards your destiny or pulling you away from it. Ask yourself: “Does this person encourage me to grow, or do they distract me from God’s plan for my life?”

5. Red Flags Don’t Change With Marriage

What you ignore while dating will only grow louder in marriage. Don’t think you can change someone’s bad habits, addictions, or irresponsibility. Marriage magnifies problems—it doesn’t erase them.

 Closing Reflection

Before starting any relationship, take it to God in prayer. Ask Him for wisdom, discernment, and clarity. Remember Proverbs 19:21: “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

 Final Prayer

“Lord, give me wisdom in choosing who I walk with in life. Help me to see beyond outward appearance and to discern character and purpose. Guide me into relationships that will glorify You and bless my destiny, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

How to Stand Out as a Lady Before Marriage

Image
 In a world where many are in a hurry to “settle down,” it’s easy to forget that your single season is a sacred time. It’s not a waiting room; it’s a preparation ground. The woman you become before marriage determines the kind of home you’ll build and the kind of man you’ll attract. Standing out as a lady before marriage isn’t about competing with others — it’s about becoming the best version of yourself spiritually, emotionally, and purposefully. Here are seven powerful ways to do just that: 1. Build a Strong Relationship with God Your walk with God is the foundation for everything else. Before Adam met Eve, God placed him in His presence (Genesis 2:15). Likewise, as a lady, the best way to prepare for your future is to root yourself deeply in God’s Word and presence. Spend time praying, studying the Bible, worshipping, and developing spiritual sensitivity. When your identity is secure in Christ, you won’t settle for less than His will for your life. “Seek first the kingdom of God...

Becoming a Woman of Value in Today’s World

  Introduction: We live in a world where beauty trends change overnight, and society often measures a woman’s worth by her appearance, possessions, or popularity.But true value - the kind that lasts and attracts divine favor -goes deeper than what the eyes can see.

This is why it’s important to be spiritually alert and sensitive to the kind of lifestyle we live. Below are some key lifestyles that can attract witchcraft if not checked. 1.
