If marriage is not the goal, what’s the point?
I had a great time talking to youths and singles yesterday and while I spoke, I mentioned that it was very important to have a goal in a relationship. It is not sensible to waste your time, energy, emotions and money in a relationship headed nowhere! So I asked my wonderful audience, if marriage is not the goal, what’s the point of being in that love relationship? I got a few answers but the one that got everyone laughing was when someone answered “work experience” 
Dear r eader, going into a relationship with someone you know you are not going to marry is a complete waste of your time. Rather, use that time to invest in yourself and become a better person until when you are ready for a serious relationship. Many people have gone the path of having “work experience”, moving from one partner to another and have ended up in severe emotional break-down, some have ended up with all sorts of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS, others with unwanted pregnancies, depression, suicidal thoughts, while many have had their dreams shattered and lives battered!
Stop hopping from person to person! Let God guide you when you are ready for a serious relationship. Stop playing games with your heart and others. Quit the trial and error! Such “work experience” does not guarantee a successful marriage, in fact it could have terrible consequences when you eventually do get married.
