Getting Yourself Ready For Marriage 2Намуна

BOOMERANG: RETURNING TO YOUR EX

Devotional Content:

There are a lot of concerns and questions when a relationship ends and one of the people wants to start the relationship again.

You need to carefully weigh the positives and negatives and prepare to face the possibility that it may not work the second time around.

There are several things to think about before committing to your ex:

• Stay realistic about why you ended the relationship in the first place.
• Don’t let your reunion be motivated by sex. You need a better foundation for marriage than just physical pleasure.
• There is great value in knowing when to let go and move on.

Remember it is better to let a relationship go before marriage than to marry when things are shaky and end up in divorce.

If you and your ex are set on rekindling your relationship, remember that it takes two people to build an awesome marriage so you should be equally putting work in the relationship. Go to counseling separately and as a couple and identify the changes that you need to make to make this relationship work. Take it slow and be open to God’s direction.

Today’s Challenge:

If you are seriously considering getting back into a relationship that ended, ask yourself, “Am I committed to making things work this time?”

Going Deeper:

Pray and ask God for wisdom in making this decision.
