What do you do when you follow all these rules and the relationship still fails? (Jenn's take)

I think I would say that the greatest benefit to following the rules isn't specifically finding Mr. or Mrs. Right, but knowing that you treated everyone you had a relationship with in a God honoring manner. You know what I'm saying?

The question is coming at this from the wrong angle; the point of these discussions and nuggets of wisdom is not to give you a step-by-step “how to find a spouse.” It’s more how to avoid common mistakes and misconceptions about relationships, dating, and marriage. If you’re looking to this information as a formula to discover your soul mate, you’re going to be sorely disappointed.

Chances are, if you follow what we’ve said, pursue God’s wisdom and the wisdom of those He has placed around you when considering relationships – you’ll handle yourself well, and hopefully come out of the relationship (regardless of how it ends) with little to no regrets.

It’s so you know what a man is, what a woman is, and what character traits and qualities you should both aspire toward in yourself, and seek in a future spouse.
