Stages prior to marriage
1. Formation
From a scale of one to one hundred, what would you rate your fruit:
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodnes
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control
2. Waiting on God
Making a covenant with God does not only protect you, but it also strengthen you as you wait. Right now, kneel down and make a covenant with your Heavenly Father promising Him that:
A. You'll never do anything in secret.
B. You'll never have a relationship with a person who doesn't share the same Christian principles
C. You'll wait until your eighteen-years-old before you think about your emotional area.
3. Establishing Principles
Establishin prinicples in our lives helps us never to fail God.
Make a list of twelve principles that will help you to guard your heart, to not fail the Lord, or eat of the forbidden fruit.
If you are currently in a relationship, write your principles together, share them with your leader, remember them, and fulfil them.
4. Falling in Love
Have you ever skipped stages of the process? What were the consequences of giving your heart to someone hastily? Commit yourself to wait for God's designated time.
5. Marriage
The greatest and most beautiful blessing that one can experience is to have a marriage in God's will. When you correctly go through each of the stages, you will receive God's full blessing in every area of your life.
