You saw the lady, beautiful and charming and you asked if she will be willing to be your girl friend. The question is, are you dating her for recreational purposes (sexual pleasure) or to see if she is compatible and suitable for marriage? Are you really ready for marriage or not. How is your relationship with God? When we read Genesis, the word tells us that God gave Adam 5 things before he gave him a wife.
1. He breathed life into his nostrils. This indicates a strong and powerful relationship between God and Adam. Adam understood who God was in his life. The first thing that man need is the presence of God and not a wife.
2. He put Adam in the garden giving him a place to live that was his own. Adam was ready to be out on his own, apart but not separated from his father. His work never affect his relationship with God.
3. He gave Adam work to do. Adam had a job and was able to support himself and keep his home before thinking of a wife.
4. He gave Adam rules to live by. God told Adam that he could eat from any tree of the garden except one and Adam understood authority so that when the wife come in he will not abuse her.
5. Finally, God had Adam name the animals and within his own heart determine that things were paired up but he wasn’t. Adam developed a need and desire for a wife.
Until these things are in place for you, then it may be dating for recreational purposes rather than marriage purpose. Only you know the answers to these questions.
