We’ve arrived at the sixth and final post of
The Relationship Series. Over the course of this series, we’ve talked about a number of not-so-popular relationship topics. We’ve discovered
the purpose of marriage and
our roles as husbands and wives in it, we’ve discussed courtship with
its purpose and
application, and we’ve uncovered the
real meaning of purity.
As I mentioned in the
previous part in this series, though, many of us have years to go before we’ll marry or even begin some sort of relationship. So in reading these posts, you may find yourself asking this question:
“Now what?”
“What can I do now to prepare for marriage?” We began to answer this question in
Part 5 by talking about purity. We found out that purity is much more than simply “not crossing the line,” but is really a pursuit of Christ. This, of course, is the most important aspect of preparing for marriage. How can we expect to please God in our relationships if we aren’t pleasing Him in our individual lives? Therefore, chasing after Christ and His holiness is the most essential part of becoming ready for marriage.
In addition to following the Lord in purity, there are a number of specific things we can do to prepare ourselves for being godly husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers.
