    About this ebook

    There are too many relationships that the people involved are hurting and living a lie just because of what others may think or say of them. It is time for people to think of themselves and what they are experiencing. It is time for self-evaluation because too many people are suffering medically, mentally, emotionally, and even socially because of trying to please others and hiding others faults. It is time to wake up.

      C hoosing a life time partner using God’s perspective is designed with the intention to be utilized as a tool to assist those who are planning to be united in marital or non-marital heterosexual partnerships. It is also projected to help others to understand that they are not alone, as they experience the stressors of relationships.

      PREFACE

      I was led by the Holy Spirit, to write this book, titled Choosing a Partner Using God’s Perspective. My intentions were to take my mistakes, and help others to learn from them, hoping, that they would not make similar mistakes. However, God had other plans.

      This book was very difficult to write. The memories that I had suppressed, were resurrected, and I had to deal with them throughout the process. I had to try to write without being judgmental, angry, or bias, yet, being truthful to myself, and my feelings, especially as I used some self-disclosure. I am a double divorcee that is remarried, and yet, is in a stressful, but not a physically abusive relationship. In life, things happen in many relationships, that causes the stress, and when they are not dealt with in the beginning, and are constantly ignored, they become mountains, and unbearable to handle.

      It was, as I was having my little battling sessions with God, (those sessions when the punches are very hard to swallow, because they are the truth, and they need to be faced), when I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to write this book. I have faced in my marriages, and in some of my non-marital relationships, not all, but some of the situations mentioned in this book. But when God is on your side, you can battle the roughest storm.

      I know that not all marriages end, because of these reasons, because unfaithfulness as well as other reasons is used by both sexes. But the focus in this book is mostly pertaining to the treatment the females endure. Neither, is it that I am saying that all men are mistreating and physically abusing women. In many relationships there is no abuse or mistreatment. However, abuse is prevalent in many other relationships, with race, ethnicity, age, or religion having nothing to do with the choice, of who is being abused.

      I am not promoting un-marital relationships, because I do believe, that if a couple can decide to live together as man and woman, they can do the same as husband and wife, as God has designed it. I am just trying to demonstrate that in every relationship, no matter on what grounds; there must be some kind of compatibility to survive.

      I personally know couples in non-marital relationships who were together for many years, and they have children. Some of these couples also go through stressful abusive situations in the relationships. Likewise, in some of the relationships, there is compatibility, with firm family unity.

      I do hope that this book will be taken with the intention as it is written. This book contains my own experiences, and one, which I was given permission to mention, all other information mentioned was done on a general level. There are too many relationships that the people involved are hurting, and living a lie just because of what others may think or say about them. It is time for people to think of themselves and what they are experiencing. It is time for self-evaluation, because too many people are suffering, medically, mentally, emotionally and even socially, trying to please others, and hiding others faults. It is time to wake up.

      Therefore, I do recommend that when choosing a partner it would be done using God’s perspective. However, each individual still have to do their share in maintain and being committed to each other in love.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

      I thank God, who is the head of my life for loving, sheltering, guiding and keeping me all through the years, especially through the rough times. While writing this book, I realized
