dating convictions

last week is time to reflect a lot about dating convictions that i learn so far from our relationship and also sharing lots to ppl around me about what I believe dating is all about and is not about.. one thing I learn and have strong conviction about is that no matter what u do in a dating relationship, the foundation have to be right, that is to have friendship between 2 person, and of coz not to mention God is alwiz in the middle of this r/s. No matter what u do, wat u give, however strong ur feeling maybe for one another, it will come to a point when this all will die down and will come to 2nd stage where is more about building the relationship and with only deep friendship.. God have an important purpose for us here and that is to love one another, and to show this love that we have.. 2 person need to make the effort to give 'love' to one another.. its not easy and take lots of sacrifice and patience.. this is where God comes into the picture, where in the relationship, the things that we do is to glorify Him and not to fulfil our own needs and want.. it's only when I start to understand this that I see why a lot relationship broke up and didn't work out.. a lot ppl thinking that dating is about its only about 2 person world, and sometimes God doesn't come into picture and also other ppl around also got ignore.. this is somethin that I see also God is teaching us to learn to everyone as ourself.. it's not just about loving ur partner but also the bro n sis coz we are a family..
