At What Time Is It Right To Start a Relationship?

This question has posed a lot of controversies in the world today. But here is something for you, you don't dwell in the world anymore and you shouldn't be bothered by this question. Why, because you have Christ in you. The fact you live in the world doesn't mean you are for the world.

So back to the question, At what time is it right to date (start a relationship)?

Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (KJV).

The Bible verse says it all. God already knows your end from your beginning, so there is no reason to bother yourself with such questions.

In fact one thing is for sure, when you're ready you will definitely know through the Holy Spirit. He's always a guide and will always remain so.

So my advise for you, is to maximize your singleness in serving God according to Ruth Edosomwan. Don't rush into any relationship "with the fear of what people will say", or "with the fear of what the world has made you think". Get your spiritual roots firmly embedded in God.

1 Corinthians 7:32-35 says "But I would have you without carefulness. He that us unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord. But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction" (KJV). 

Apostle Paul's counsel to singles is to use this time (singleness) in your life to pursue the things of God with all seriousness. 

And when it's time to meet that right person, trust me you will. Don't fast forward the plans God has for you because of your negligence and impatience to carefully wait on the Lord.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says "to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (KJV). 

Psalm 139:15-16 says "When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there 

you saw me before I was born. The days allotted to me had all been recorded in your book, before any of them ever began" (Good News Bible). So your Heavenly Father knows you more than you know yourself. 

Some persons who should have married in Chapter 17 according to God's plan in their life were already married in Chapter 2. They have missed the big plan and target God had for them. 

This then calls for a need of patience in life. Believe in God and you will never lack anything good.
