Faith Q&A › Youth Concerns › Relationships and Marriage

How can we choose our partner in life?

The answer

  • Pray a lot.
  • Think a lot.
  • Feel a bit.
  • Ask for spiritual guidance. We are asking you to “feel a bit” because the sound of the emotions can be very loud, and they can dominate the spirit and the mind. For example, because of emotions, one may enter into a relationship with a non-Christian person because they are intelligent, good-looking, and so on, but they do not think about the future of living with and raising a family with a non-Christian partner. Therefore if we rely on our emotions, it may cause our thinking to stop and our spiritual life to be minimum.
