19 RED FLAGS TO WATCHOUT FOR DURING COURTSHIP
Bisi Adewale
When you notice any of the following during your courtship, you need to exercise caution. Pray very well and seek counsel before you take any further step.
- Hatred toward your partner
- Lack of deep love and affection
- Sexual sin
- Sexual advances from your partner
- When lust is in control (kissing, touching, fondling, patting or romancing). These are dangerous signals
- Backsliding or when your partner is indifferent to the work of God
- When there is an absence of give and take
- When you notice spiritual dryness or coldness in your partner – he hates prayer, avoids Christian gatherings, and despises the Bible; you need to be very careful
- When you notice stubbornness in your partner
- If you cannot freely express yourself during courtship, it is dangerous going into that relationship
- Constant quarrelling, bickering, disagreement and provocation of each other
- Doctrinal differences
- Fear or loss of peace of mind
- When you feel your partner is hiding something very important from you
- When you notice unfaithfulness, inconsistence and lying
- When everybody around you, your parents, pastor, friends or family members stand against the relationship, you need to be very careful because they are likely to be right
- When your partner attempts to beat you, you need to take caution because that may be a pointer to what he can do in the future
- Lack of effective communication
- Lack of trust
