Finding the Two

Yesterday, Gregg asked me to speak with him for the second part of our relationship series: Goin’ All the Way: Relationships that Go the Distance.

In the first part of our series, Finding the One, Gregg talked about how God created us for relationship. He said that to be truly fulfilled in life, we have to find the One. Jesus is the One—our most important relationship; and our spouse is the two. Yesterday, we talked about Finding the Two.

Sadly, many relationships fall short of the fulfillment that God created them to enjoy. The new normal in our culture has become higher divorce rates and lower moral standards.

We encouraged everyone yesterday that, “If you want something you’ve never had, you must do something you’ve never done.” If you want a relationship that looks like the broken, hurt-filled ones that many people have in this world, then travel the road that everyone else travels. But, if you want something different—something far better and more fulfilling—you’re going to have to take a different route.

If you’re single, I encourage you to have a higher standard on whom you will see, what you will do, and what you will expect in a relationship. Asking a simple question like, “Will this relationship lead me toward greater devotion to God?” can help you decide whether the relationship is a healthy one to pursue.
