As a result, whatever you would have men do to you, do to them as well: for this is the law and the prophets.

It is in our nature to be self-centered. To prioritize our own needs over the needs of others. When we enter a relationship, though, we are charged with the responsibility of prioritizing someone else's needs over our own. Mutual respect is a term that many people are unfamiliar with.
Accepting another person's thoughts and opinions without compromising your own is a sign of maturity. Respect for your wishes and desires is a strong evidence that God has sent someone your way. They don't put their desires on you, and instead of always wanting things done their way, they ask what you want.
Open communication without guilt or constant criticism
It's preferable to live in a housetop corner than in a large house with a brawling wife.
One of the signals that God is directing you to the right person is that you may communicate openly with them without fear of being ridiculed or dismissed. Many people find themselves romantically linked with someone who is always unpleasant or dictatorial after the honeymoon phase of a relationship.
Open communication is crucial in any relationship, but especially so in one that is expected to lead to marriage. Not only should it be simple to interact with this person on a regular basis via flirting messages and charming gifs, but it should also be simple to engage with this person about difficult topics. You should be able to sit down as a couple and talk about the future and reach a mutual understanding on issues that affect your lives together.
If you find yourself constantly having to be cautious about what you say for fear of being judged for your viewpoint, it's usually time to terminate the relationship.
Leads you to God and doesn't cause you to compromise
As previously said, Christians should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers; yet, being unequally yoked with someone of similar faith is feasible. Simply because someone attends the same church as you does not imply that they are the appropriate person for you.
One way to tell if God has sent you the right person is if they are guiding you back to Christ.
The person God is bringing you to will always look out for your best interests and will never ask you to compromise on your values or convictions.
They'll pray for you and alongside you, and your relationship will reflect Christ's love for the church.
Trials build you up as a couple instead of tearing you apart
All things are borne, all things are believed, all things are hoped for, and all things are endured.
If a relationship can weather adversity, it is one of the obvious signals that it is robust. When arguments emerge, does your relationship entirely fall apart, or are you able to calmly sit down with this individual and work out your problems? Your response to that question may be the only indicator you need to know if God is directing you to this individual.
No one is without flaws. Because we live in an imperfect world, no relationship is flawless. The ability of the individuals to overcome challenges within the relationship is the difference between a successful contented relationship and a sad one. Examine how this individual handles challenges when they emerge to see if God has sent them to you.
They continue to improve themselves to make the relationship better
And do not be conformed to this world, but be changed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may demonstrate what is God's good, acceptable, and perfect will.
If your relationship improves with time, it's an indication that you and this person are meant to be. This does not happen by chance; both partners must work on themselves individually, progressively improving themselves and, in turn, gradually enhancing the relationship.
We are all born in sin and shaped in iniquity, thus we must all turn to Christ for aid in becoming better versions of ourselves. Every day, we must strive to become more like Christ, and as a result, our lives and everything around us will improve. If you notice this evolution in that person's life, you know God has sent you the one. If they are continually improving themselves, there is a good probability they will be willing to work on improving the relationship over time.
Trust
Her husband's heart is secure in her, and he will not be spoilt.
Is it true that you may put your faith in this person? Take one step forward if you answered yes, and one step back if you answered no. It's easy to see why one of the pillars of any successful romantic relationship is trust. When I say trust, I don't only mean that you can trust this person not to cheat on you; I also mean that you can trust this person with your time, energy, and even your money.
When two people marry, they become one person. Many people wind up in marriages where they don't trust their spouse to make simple family decisions. They live in the same house but are two separate people since their lives have not been totally integrated. Can you put your faith in this person's decisions and opinions? If that's the case, it could be a sign that God is bringing you two closer together.
What does God say about your soulmate?
There is no such thing as a true “soulmate” according to the Bible. While there might be a soul tie or link formed when a person is intimate with another person, the Bible does not explicitly state that a predestined relationship exists between two people.
How do you know when God puts someone in your life?
This is the scripture that my friend shared with me many years ago over coffee. It had such an impact on me because it made me realize how much God knows and loves me on a personal level.
He is concerned about and interested in our daily life. He has meticulously arranged our life and is aware of every detail. This indicates that the individuals we meet and come into contact with are destined to be a part of our lives for a specific reason. It's not a fluke or a coincidence.
The relationship is against God's word
If you're in a relationship that goes against the Bible's values, that's the first clear clue you should end it.
Many of us begin relationships because we feel so connected or in love with the other person, but if the relationship clearly contradicts God's word, it's a clear evidence that it's not one that God endorses.
Feelings and emotions come and go, but God's word is constant; He does not alter.
If you're in an adulterous relationship (cheating on your spouse), for example, you might feel a lot of affection for that person.
However, you'll have to decide whether your relationship with this individual is more essential to you than your salvation at some point.
We can't serve both God and ourselves at the same time. We must choose one. We have the option of choosing between fleeting bliss or eternal life.
The person encourages you to disobey God
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for God's vengeance is coming against the children of disobedience because of these things. Ephesians5:6
If that individual encourages you to disobey God, it's a clear sign that God is urging you to quit the relationship.
Is this individual always urging me to break God's law in order to enjoy worldly pleasures?
Do they ever try to talk me out of going to church or spending time with God?
Do they act as if God's obedience is a choice rather than a necessity?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, it's possible that God is asking you to flee.
We have a tendency to believe that if we stay with someone long enough, they will change.
Pay more attention to a person's behavior than to what they say. If they're encouraging you to disobey God now, odds are they'll be encouraging you to disobey God in three years.
You have no control when you're with them
No servant can serve two masters because he will either despise one and adore the other, or he will cling to one and despise the other. You can't serve God and mammon at the same time. 16:13 Luke 16:13
When you're with this individual, do you ever feel out of control? Are you moved by emotion and spontaneity? When you're around them, do you go on a spending spree and make unwise decisions?
God desires for us to be wise, rational, and prudent. The enemy wants us to do whatever we want and to give in to our instincts.
When we don't have control over our thoughts and feelings, we make poor life decisions that can lead to major issues down the road.
If you find yourself unable to say no to that person or if they have complete control over your actions, it's likely that they're attempting to manipulate you. So, heed the warning and flee.
You are being treated poorly
If you feel neglected or mistreated, it's time to terminate the relationship.
It makes no difference how long you've been together or how many children you have; if your partner is consistently treating you badly, God is telling you it's time to terminate the relationship.
The person is more important to you than God
We humans have the ability to create idols out of anything and anyone. When someone becomes more important to you than God, it's time to end the relationship.
We have made that person a god in our lives when we seek to please someone over our relationship with God.
Rather than our Heavenly Father, we have placed our trust and hope in a person who is incapable of meeting our needs.
When you find yourself surrendering your Christian principles to please someone, you've made them an idol.
Perhaps it's time to take a step back and reconsider your priorities: is your relationship with God more essential than your romantic relationship?
The relationship has become toxic and overbearing
God is advising you to leave the connection if it has become a source of chronic stress in your life.
Consistent disagreement between two people makes it impossible for them to be in a healthy, happy relationship.
If there is no peace and there is ongoing regret and fighting, it is necessary to pray and seek God's guidance and counsel.
Unequally yoked
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what kind of association does righteousness have with unrighteousness? What kind of relationship does light have with darkness? 6:14 in 2 Corinthians
Who can be soulmate?
A soulmate is someone with whom you have a natural or profound connection. Similarity, love, romance, platonic relationships, comfort, intimacy, sexuality, sexual activity, spirituality, compatibility, and trust are all examples of this.
Does everyone have a soulmate?
Have you ever imagined what it might be like to finally meet your soulmate? Although not everyone believes in soulmates (which is fine! ), if you do, you might question, “How will I know when I've met the one?” The answer is that it is unique to each individual, as many people who have met their soulmate can attest.
Meeting your perfect mate is one of those “When you know, you just know” moments for some people. It's as if everything seems right and everything within you just clicks. For others, it's about sharing a shared experience, such as getting through your first fight in a way that makes you believe you can get through anything together, or simply witnessing how supportive your partner can be when you're hurting. Every relationship is different, and it's perfectly acceptable to fall in love at first sight or realize how compatible you are after years of being together.
Reddit has compiled a list of 10 lovely relationship stories from actual people who feel they've discovered their soulmates. I'm not sure what will make you believe in love if these stories don't.
Is soulmate real?
Soulmates are real and can be confirmed by science, according to the very out-there website The Science of Soulmates. However, after reading through the lengthy, wordy site, you'll discover that the “scientifically verified” hypotheses stated on the site to illustrate that soulmates are real are quite woo-woo.
TL;DR: Soulmates appear to be one manifestation of the energy patterns that run through everything in the universe. “Scientific instruments recorded proof of a fundamental energy pattern that exposes the source of existence and the phenomena of soulmates,” according to the website.
Despite the fact that this “proof” is muddled and difficult to understand, it appears that some people believe that soulmates can be discovered by researching energy patterns. I'm open to this idea I was raised in an unconventional household and am open to many transcendental concepts but I'm not certain that this website actually provides any concrete proof that soulmates exist, at least according to science. As a result, it's back to the drawing board.
Are there relationships in heaven?
Is there going to be any sexual relations in heaven? Some argue that we will be like angels because Jesus says so in Matthew 22:30. However, given the context of what Jesus was saying in Matthew 22:30, Jesus meant that we will be like the angels in that there will be no marriage in heaven.
A query was posed to Jesus about a woman who had married multiple men over her lifetime (each husband having died and the woman outliving them all). Because she had multiple spouses, Jesus was asked who would be the woman's husband after the resurrection. As with the angels, Jesus reacted by proclaiming that there will be no marriage in paradise. That is not to say that there will be no sexual interactions in paradise. In this life, marriage is simply essential for sex. Heaven is a different story.
In every other way, we won't be angels. Scripture teaches, for example, that believers (Christians) will enjoy food and drink in their next life, in their resurrection (immortal bodies), even though eating and drinking will no longer be essential, but believers in glory will still be able to enjoy those and other delights. Jesus ate and drank with the disciples after His resurrection. Jesus stated that He would have wine with His disciples once more in the coming Kingdom. Angels, on the other hand, are pure spiritual creatures who do not eat or drink.
How is it possible for God to allow sexual interactions in paradise without requiring marriage? Because there would be no founding of families in paradise, there will be no need for someone to belong solely to another. Marriage is a unique test and image of faithfulness, according to Scripture, but there will be no such test in paradise because only the faithful will be there.
