Our Thoughts On What the Bible Says About Love and Finding the Right Partner

Scripture shows that lasting marriages are built on shared faith and mutual respect. God wants us to become the right person rather than just searching for the right person. True biblical love grows stronger through challenges, not despite them.

Father, help me see love the way you do. Teach me that real love is about commitment, not just feelings. If I’m single, guide me to someone who shares my faith and values. If I’m married, help me choose love every day even when it’s hard. 

Show me how to build a relationship that honors You. Give me patience, grace, and the strength to love like Christ loves. Help me trust Your timing and Your plan for my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
