The 6 month front.......is it o.k. to Marry someone that soon in the game?????
Two unique times this week I have spoken with people about how soon is too soon to move 4ward in the dating relationship. Perhaps my perspective is different than someone who tends to be a follower. I say follower because 95% of the world's population are considered followers, while only 5% tend to be leaders or thinkers. For example, when you walk in a meeting room- have you ever noticed that the majority of people in said room will fill up the back of the room, much faster than filling up the front of the room. So 95% of the people are in the rear and the 5% in the front (including the speaker) are considered the leaders.
Moving on, my first encounter happened on social media. A relationship writer post his ideals about moving in and getting married soon after know each other after 1 year. He said it the relationship is doomed because of this short time length. I responded to him that I think after 6 months of dating that you pretty much know the infrastructure of the other person. Of course, everyone changes, some for the worse and some for the better. I am not necessarily saying you have to marry the person on the 1st day of the 6th month of dating, but you can start to make them wedding plans for the near future, but moving in before marriage is not an option for success. I find it comparable to a job. When someone starts a job, the employer interviews the person, does a back ground check and then have the team meet the person before extending an offer. Then guess what happens next? The person gets full benefits after a probationary period. The ironic thing, is that we spend more quality time with our co-workers and at our job, then we spend with our mates. I say that because we have to be open and honest when hiring an employee, so like wise, we must be when dating someone. So if 2 people want to be in an relationship, with the goal of marriage, and they are being open and honest and not pretending to be something they are not (the six month front). After the probationary period ends, you know if you want to spend the rest of your life with said person, making memories as you get to know them better: Helping each other become the best person they can be! Heck, the biggest decisions we make in our lives are 1). Dedication to Jehovah 2).Marriage 3) Home Purchase 4). Buying a car. Think about how long we test drive a car before buying that.......hummmm
My point is all about the mind set of marriage mates. If you want to be successful at marriage, then do successful things that people do. Pray together regularly, be best friends, be honest and never treat anyone better than you treat your mate! If you want a fling, do what ever you been doing, you know your own story, lol!
Dang, I don't have time for the 2nd story. Let's just say I spoke to someone about thinking marriage will make all their issues get better or go away. Hummm, like I said that will be a later blog.
*(Please note that not every couple will be perfect. Some people date for sport and the results are typical. My blog refers those we believe in love in a biblical sense).
