Ideally when we think of our soulmate we think of the two of us riding off in the sunset to live happily ever after. Ironically, everyone that rides off in the sunset after their fairytale wedding doesn't live happily ever after. In fact, the divorce rate in the Unites States is higher than it has ever been. What is it that we're doing wrong? Well for starters instead of looking of our world defined soulmate we should be looking for our Bible defined GODmate. Yes, when God created you for His purpose that purpose is intertwined with the purpose of your GODmate. There is someone out there who has been equipped to give you the love that you need in the exact way in which you desire. Well why am I still single? Good question. You have to allow God to lead you and in order for Him to do that you must be first be focused solely on Him. Take Adam for example, he was so focused and working hard on the task that God had given Him that he didn't even notice that He was alone. God took it upon Himself to create Eve for Him. God knows exactly what and who you need as well as when you're ready to receive it. The same thing goes for your mate.
If you're already married or in a relationship you're probably wondering "How does this apply to me?" which is a good question. When God is who brought you together God will be who keeps you together. *Pause* if only one of you are focused on God it is not your job to force the other to do the same. *Play* The closer each of you are to God in your relationship the closer you will be to one another. God being at the top of the triangle allows each of you realize that neither of you are above one another. God is the head of your relationship; therefore, when the two of you can't find common ground due to your fleshy feelings and thoughts look to God to be that common place.
This seems pretty simple, so why is the divorce rate so high in the United States? Well, I read an article a few weeks ago that eluded to the fact that many Americans no longer consider themselves Christians. Therefore, these people are not allowing Christ to lead their lives let alone their mates. On that note let me remind you that everyone isn't made to love you and if they aren't Christ-centered they have no idea how to love you. Ladies, in order for your husband to love you he must first understand the way Christ loves you (and him) because Christ is the example that teaches a man how to love a woman. It is also through that love that makes the woman open to fearlessly submit to her husband as the Word has instructed. Just as there are always three sides to a story there are three people in a love triangle; He, She, and GOD!
