3 Things You Should Consider Before You Keep Dating Him

Whether you’re a single woman or a mama raising up your kiddos, here are a few things I share with my kids about what to consider regarding their future spouses.  But first, I have a reader who’s got a question regarding her relationship.

3 Things

Dear Jolene

I have been dating this fellow for a couple of years now and there is talk of marriage in our near future- which is something I kept in mind as I went into the relationship. I love my boyfriend and he will be a wonderful spiritual leader in our house, but I am conflicted because we have different “lifestyles” I guess you could say. I think staying healthy is important. I try to eat healthy and exercise when I am able to.

My boyfriend does not share my opinions on staying healthy and he likes to eat whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and he rarely exercises. I am worried that when we get married he will not like that I fix vegetables or nutritious meals for him. Instead I fear that he will go and order a pizza. We have tried to work through this and meet in the middle, but lately he has just been too stubborn and/or bitter to even try to work things out. How can we merge the different parts of our lifestyles together to be one?

 

Live a poured out life for Christ,
