Women need to remember that if nature has made them plain, grace can make them beautiful, and if nature has made them beautiful, good deeds can add to their beauty. Grace will make you beautiful and will attract truly godly men to you. Make godliness and inward beauty your priority.

We express true love in obedience to God and service to others- not reckless or selfish behavior- and we choose these behaviors.

Wisdom in relationships involves a selfless desire to do what's best for the other person.

Lord, help me to appreciate this woman/man without elevating her/him above you in my heart. Help me to remember that nobody can ever take your place in my life. You are my strength, my hope, my joy, and my ultimate reward. Bring me back to reality, God. Give me an undivided heart.

Our hearts lie. Something can 'feel' right and be completely wrong.

During courtship, guarding each other's purity and refraining from intimacy are the acts of lovemaking.

But remember, continuing a wrong relationship only increases the pain when it finally does end.
