July 9 & 16 - BGR

Note: Due to the fact that some people reading this might be in relationships, this is a post that plays relationships according to the view of Christian doctrines. For those who are still interested, YE BE WARNED!

Introduction
- If we consider Jesus as Lord and God, we have surrendered our whole lives to him. Past, present, future. No buts, no maybes.

- Get a relationship only with marriage in your consideration. What's the use of saying I love you if when it comes to marriage you say "I don't know", "I don't think so", "I don't wanna be tied down". Therefore, if we are unsure whether or not we should marry he/she, it's best not to take the next step.

- A man has no right to tell a lady "I love you" unless he's ready to ask "Will you marry me". Relatives are excluded.

- To believe in God is to believe He is the perfect matchmaker. So it's best not to go fishing for love. Let it come to you.

- There's only one rule of a Christian marriage. It is between to Christians, one man and one woman.

- Hollywood romance films are as fiction as Star Wars



Premature relationships
Read the Star newspaper every Wednesday. There's a section where teens regardless of sex, race or religion share painful stories concerning their love life. To me this is the most boring part of the papers because it's all the same stories over and over again. Either,
- Confused if or if not they love that person.
- Break-ups.
This is solid proof that premature relationships are a pain in the butt. there might be exceptions, I don't know. Relationships are strictly for adults.

The cons
Leads to intimacy but necessarily commitment...
- This is call puppy love.
- For those who think love is meant to be fun, lovely and full of joy. You will be disappointed. The feelings, joy and fun are one half. The other half is strict responsibility and hard work. And no relationship can be perfect. Arguments are inevitable. When there's sunshine and rainbows, there's gonna be dark clouds and rain.
- Most if not all girls put their heart and soul into relationship. 100% commitment. It's harder for guys because we tend to let it go once in two years during the World Cup or Euro.
- Commitment is always long term, short term commitments are like pathetic broken promises.
- Waiting till one is ready for big commitments is wise. Don't let a kid play with fire.

Often ends up in the wrong side of physical relationship
- Like how can you not eat a nice piece of burger when you can touch, see and smell it.
- This leads to teenagers ending up in bed yet there are exceptions.

- Isolates couples from other relationships. Example, estranged from friends, families, etc.

Forms a distraction from other responsibilities like studies, hobbies, football and God.


The other way
- Build ourself up in the Lord. How can you take care of a girl if you can't take care of yourself, can't differentiate between right and wrong, watch porn, curse 100 times a day?

- Single years are a gift from God. Marriage is a lot of work. Men cannot expect the ladies to wash the dishes, clean baby poo, breastfeed, wash clothes, cook, clean while he still can go for drinks, watch football.


Tha aside, we have the old faces returned and a few new ones.
