21 requirements for a successful relationship

I was watching a sermon by Mr. Creflo Dollar and he gave the following 21 checkpoints your significant other must pass/ do well in, in order for your relationship with that person to be successful in a marriage. Many of these requirements require us to know what our bibles say in order to make these decisions. If you're involved with someone and any one of these questions makes you weary of that person- I suggest reevaluation of your relationship and something that never goes wrong- prayer. Here they are:

1. Is this person Christian?

2. What kind of Christian are they?
Are they deeply spiritual or shallow? If you can't tell, look at the fruit they bear.

3. Do you agree on spiritual matters and share many of the same spiritual dreams?

4. Where do obedience and love fit in their life?

5. Do you both agree on spiritual doctrine?
You must know the major doctrines of the bible to do this.. ie- the Trinity, The Great Commission, the Cross... etc. Get in your bible to find these.

6.Do you agree on one church you are going to attend?
This is very important that you two are under the same spiritual headship.

7.Do you agree with how you both are going to spend time?
Spending time with each other is vital and it should be made a priority.

8.How are you going to spend your money as a couple?
Becoming one with someone involves sharing money.. if this is not a part of your thinking- there will be a lot of problems in your marriage. Also- pay attention to how this person spends their money now. Are they an emotional spender? Don't be suprised by anything.

9.Can you trust them?

10.Has this person given you any reason not to trust them?
PLEASE do not ignore this if it is so.

11.How does this person handle adversity?

12.Does this person trust God or fall into unbelief regularly?
This can make or break your relationship.

13. Have you seen them angry?
Anger is an expression of fear.. know how they react when they are angry.

14. Have you seen this person angry with YOU?
This is important.

15.When this person was angry with you was this problem solved in a biblical way?

16.Was forgiveness asked for or was it just forgotten?

17.Does this person have a way to provide with/for you?

18. Are they responsible with money? Angry spender? Emotional spender?

19.Is this person a good example?
One day you'll have children with this person.. do you want your children looking up to them?

20. Know the issues you both agree and disagree on.
You can even make this a conversation topic over dinner.

21. Does this person have control over their sex drive?
Do they constantly make sexual passes or references around you? Why do they do this if so?



Well here they are.. hope you enjoy.

Peace ya'll .
