From the night before the facilitator was seen tonight to give some few minutes recaps on the night before’s topic as it was the subject and build up to tonight’s topic and continuation. He added that key derivatives to the topic and thus gave compounding pointers to further support the ideology as given yesterday follows through below ;

4# Relationship

In a relationship at times someone may be good to you, but may not be good for you

Most of the time you have three great choices to make which are either to /have

1.  Vocation to choose

2.  Man or woman to marry choices

3.  God/ god to worship..(God gave us time, space and matter even though He lives in Eternity.)

He also said that before you enter Into A relationship (Songs of Solomon 2:7, 3:5, 8:4)- we should  not awaken love, allow it to sleep otherwise you'll have a great tasks and that we should also;. 

1* Enjoy your singleness.

2*Make time to develop a skill

3* Don't go into relationship too early

4* Don't become so desperate

5* Don't look for love in a wrong places.

6* Gazelle are free to roam but have their limits

7* Wait for marriage before having sex.

 It is important to consider how compatible you are with the other person and vice versa.. he added .He made known to the audience that we should also look out for someone or people  who has/have been under the authority of his or her parents.and thus  checking out for people who relate well with his or her parent (and do indeed stay under the authority of such parents make better spouses.)

 

# Questions A Lady Needs To Address- Genesis 2:15 16

1* Is he matured in his personality- Genesis 2:15,16.. we don't marry  boys nor girls

 

2* Does he enjoy the presence of God?

 

3* Has he got a profession. A man who's not working does not qualify for a wife.

 

4* Can he protect me?

 

5* Does he practice the word?

 

# Questions A Guy Needs To Address- Genesis 2:18

1* Can she give me company?

 

2* In what ways can she be of help to me?

 

3* Is she suitable for me?

 

* Genesis 27:46- when you make the wrong choices in marriage, you make your parents' life not worth living.

 

He gave some few challenges confronting relationship as follows;

Predictable factor -No vision, unnecessary comparison

Personality factor- temperament, bad communication

People factor-.bad friends, undue family influence

Principality factor- the place of prayer.

 

# A broken relationship is better than a broken marriage.

 

Just before ending the facilitator  echoed that disappointment In relationships nowadays accrue to the fact that 90% of first - time relationships don't end is marriage and that its better to be  a gentleman or lady when you even want to quit a relationship.
