Dating Series Part 4 & 5

The folks over at Bounless discuss next Moving Towards Clarity in the Dating Series.
And then move to Being Proactive (shiver!!!!) where they offer lots of "suggestions" on what that looks like.

Me? Well, I line up most with the following point in the second article, because it was the only part I was comfortable "doing" amidst all the other "stuff" that comes along with being single and "getting out there." And although the drive and the voice behind my prayers have changed slightly since I have entered into a dating relationship, the meat remains.

.... both men and women need to be proactive in praying for their future spouses. ....this one is difficult [if we] I don't see automatic results so it feels useless. But it's obviously not. The Bible tells us to present our requests to God, and relationships should be no different. Pray for God to prepare you and your spouse for one another. Ask Him to give you wisdom and to bring that right guy/girl along.

Even if being proactive in one situation doesn't result in marrying the guy/girl of your dreams, it doesn't mean it wasn't worth it. If we approach things with the right attitude, God can and does use the relationships in our lives to make us more like Himself. - (Denise Morris)

To me, presenting my requests to the Lord is the only thing that makes everything else worth the effort in the wait.
