Here are factors to maintain in having a GODLY PREMARITAL RELATIONSHIP
1.) Physical Restraint
- While we are attracted to our partners, God asks us to practice physical restraint until marriage. If you practice physical restraint in relationship by saving intimate moments for marriage, then you will not only have a healthy relationship with God, but with your partner as well.he body is not meant for segxwal immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body" (1 Corinthians 6:13). Verse 18 of this chapter goes on to say, "Flee from segxwal immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins segxwally sins against his own body." Galatians 5:19 speaks the same, "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: segxwal immorality, impurity…" Ephesians 5:3 says it most plainly, "But among you there must not be even a hint of segxwal immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people." From these verses, we see that the Bible promotes complete and total abstinence from premarital sex.
2.) Maintain Your Character- Be who you are when you are with your future spouse. Don't try to be someone you're not. It is important that both you and your future spouse show your true colors before marriage. This way there will be no surprises once you are married.
3.) Get Opinions From Others- We may not always want to hear what others want to say, but it important that we listen to their opinion. Listen to what the one you love have to say.
4.) Allow the Man to take the Lead- God asks men to lead in a relationship; however that doesn't mean that a woman should not have an opinion. Make sure that you are both in this together for the right reasons.
5.) Praise Each Other- Find reasons every day to give each other praise. This will help you to build love and security in your relationship. Tell your future spouse the things that you love about him or her and be there for them during happy times as well as tough times.
6.) Become One in Spirit- Make sure that both you and your partner are in the same place spiritually. You should make sure that both you and your spouse believe in Jesus Christ as your savior. A solid Christian foundation is key to building a Godly relationship. Go to church together, love each other well, show love to each other, don`t be greedy. Have dates periodically, like visiting the cinema,museum e.t.c have fun together.
Conclusively, please don`t allow people to deceive you that a Godly premarital relationship is boring. It`s not, just obey God`s Words and be happy in it. God bless you
