Now or never!

Now or never!

The weird thing is, people always have the mindset that things will be better 'next time'. But the fact is often yet to differ. (WAIT! Before you got me wrong, i don't mean that things will become worse in future.) But what i referring to is... What you can't make a decision to do today, you will never make the decision to do it tomorrow.

the past 2 months, Pastor had been preaching on the relationship series. 15 hours a week of UNDIVIDED ATTENTION, he stated. will it be possible if you don't start NOW? If you are courting stage and yet you are thinking that things will be better after marriage cause staying together, you are wrong. Undivided attention is not just about laying beside each other, but its the commitment to spend time meeting each other's needs. Courtship is the PRIME of the relationship, and if you cannot commit to meet each other's needs now, you will not be committed to do it in future.

is it wrong for courting couples to be spending more personal times together?

does it mean that they don't want / don't need their friends anymore?

the answer is simple, NO!

The fact is, when 2 person made the decision to come together, they no longer live lives as individuals. Now, they are to commit to one another. If they cannot commit to spend 15 hours a week of undivided attention now, they won't do it in future too.

Reference:

Many students always say, " i am having my exams, important, so i can't serve the Lord, serve in a ministry. After my exams, when i graduate, things will be better and i will serve the Lord." then as the days goes, they grew up into fine young man and now they have graduated with a diploma/degree. They begin to face the pressure of society and parents, to be making a living on their own. Having to find a full time job, they got stressed out and say, "i just need to find a job and settle down, things will be better once i settle down in my job and i will serve the Lord." finding a job, facing new responsibilities is a jiggle. then due to his hard work and willingness to learn, he got promoted. Thanking God, he now needs to spend more time in the office. then he found himself a girlfriend and got to work even harder to prepare for marriage. and then children came along and so on and so forth...

Don't put something off till tomorrow, if you can do it today. Don't wait till tomorrow to make a decision to do what you should today. You never know when it will be too late to ever make that decision.
