¡Me gusta! Pero ¿Cómo saber si es la persona correcta? - Itiel Arroyo
How to Know if Someone is the Right Partner?
Introduction to the Question
- The speaker acknowledges a common question among single Christians about discerning if someone is the right partner, expressing admiration for the inquirer, Daniela.
Debunking Myths About Divine Selection
- The speaker aims to address three reflections: debunking a myth, discussing God's conditions for blessing a partner choice, and emphasizing common sense.
- The first myth addressed is that there is only one person chosen by God as your partner; instead, there are many who meet God's criteria from which you can choose.
Understanding Free Will and Choice
- Emphasizes that individuals have free will in choosing their partners; God knows what choice will be made but does not interfere with this freedom.
- Illustrates the absurdity of having only one divinely chosen partner by presenting a scenario where that person makes a poor choice affecting both lives negatively.
Conditions for Choosing a Partner
- Lists three biblical conditions for selecting a partner:
- Your partner must share your faith (e.g., both should be practicing Christians).
- Parental approval is essential for establishing a relationship.
- Must adhere to God's laws (e.g., not married to someone else, not of the same sex, not closely related, and must be an adult).
Importance of Adhering to Principles
- Stresses that violating these principles cancels out divine promises and blessings regarding relationships.
Role of Common Sense in Relationships
- Advises young people in love to seek guidance from trusted adults or mentors rather than relying solely on feelings when choosing partners.
- Highlights that while feelings are important, they should not dictate decisions; truth and sound advice should guide choices.
