      2. 1 Cor 15:33 If the person is a non-Christian, or is lukewarm, 2 faced, and hypocritical, if the person tries to get you to lower your standards or tempt you sexually, if you are in any type of sin with this person, if your pastor or other mentors have a concern about the relationship then this is a relationship you should end.
      3. Prov 18:22 If this person is a genuine Christian, respects your standards, and does not try to push you into sexual sin, if this person is serving God in the ministry, helps you get closer to God and respects you, and if your pastor and spiritual authorities approve then this person may be someone you can pray about and consider for marriage.
    1. 2 Cor 6:17, Phil 4:19 If the relationship you are currently in is not of God, then you should be willing to take the step of faith to end the relationship, trusting that God will send you the perfect person in his perfect timing! #Unstoppable!
