So when it comes to dating or marriage, I'm curious, what do you say to yourself?

What thoughts go through your mind when you think about someone you might potentially

pursue as a spouse?

Or what thoughts go through your mind when you think about your spouse?

For example, if you're thinking about dating, do you say to yourself, I know that God

is doing a work in me and God is preparing someone special for me and I can't wait to share

the covenant one day of marriage with someone that God is preparing for me.

Or do you say to yourself, oh, the good ones are taken.

There's no hope.

There's no in Godly out there.

When it comes to your marriage, if your marriage is maybe in a rough spot because almost all

marriages occasionally hit a rough spot, do you say to yourself, well,

my marriage isn't perfect, but I thank God he is perfect and he's good.

He's working in me and I trusted he's working in my spouse.

Or do you say to yourself, no matter what I do, there's no hope.

My marriage is never going to get better, divorce, maybe my only option.

What do you say to yourself when you think about relationships, dating or marriage?

Do you speak encouraging and positive, faith-filled words when you think about marriage or

do your thoughts sound more like this?

If someone really knew me, they wouldn't want me.

After everything I've done, I'll never have a good marriage.

I'm just going to live however I want.
