 This one idea changed my whole perspective on dating. I used to think that being in a relationship was all about my happiness, how I could have a more fulfilled life. While we'd all hope that a relationship would bring us joy, this isn't the primary purpose of a relationship. Relationships ought to help us more fruitfully serve God, not less. If your partner gets in the way of your mission, you're missing the point. A question I want you to ask yourself is this, will this person help me pursue my God given calling and mission? Or will this person hinder it? The newness and excitement of a relationship may get you past the first months and perhaps even years, but once that all fades away we need to know that our relationship is going to move us towards Christ, not hold us back.
