In this post, you will discover the 7 signs that will show God is saying no to your relationship to help you know if God doesn’t want you to continue in a particular relationship.
Sometimes, it can be hard to know if the Lord wants to pursue a particular relationship or not which is why you need to pray for discernment in this area to avoid making mistakes.
With that aside, let’s look at the 7 signs that God is saying no to a relationship indicating God doesn’t want you to be with a particular person for your own good.
7 Signs God Is Saying No To Your Relationship.
Below are 7 signs that will happen when God says no to your relationship which isn’t in line with His will for your life.
- Fatal Misalignment In Vital Core Values.
- Lack Of Peace.
- Red Flags.
- You’ll Notice Abuse.
- Irreconcilable Differences.
- You Are Just Not A Good Fit For Each Other.
- Things Aren’t Just Working Out.
1. Fatal Misalignment In Vital Core Values.
One of the first signs that will show God is saying no to your relationship is you will find yourselves not aligning on many Christian core values in your relationship.
This is especially true if you are in a relationship with an unbeliever who doesn’t share your faith and the Christian values that govern Christian relationships.
For example, as a Christian who doesn’t believe in sex before marriage, if you are with an unbeliever who believes otherwise, you will find yourself in a difficult situation.
In this case, you will feel pressured to commit sexual sin which is a big no if you claim to be a real Christian. Never play a harlot with your body in the name of love as that’s lust.
As Amos 3:2 says two people can’t be together unless they agree, if God is saying no to your relationship, you will have a fatal misalignment in values with your partner that will ultimately doom your relationship.
2. Lack Of Peace.
The second sign you will notice if you are in a relationship the Lord doesn’t want to during dating is you will not have the peace of heart that comes if you are in the right relationship.
That inner peace of heart will be absent if you are in a relationship that’s outside God’s will and purpose for your life which you must not be doing, anyway as a professing single Christian woman or man.
No matter how much in love you are with the wrong person God doesn’t approve relationship-wise, you will not be at peace. If you feel that way, it’s a sign God is saying no.
Having inner peace in a godly relationship is the first important sign you will notice if you are in a relationship God approves which must be your aim as a Christian single.
Don’t ignore this warning sign of lack of inner peace, no matter how much in love you may be with that person. If God wants you out of that romantic relationship, do so as it’s for your own good.

3. Red Flags.
Thirdly, if you are in a relationship God doesn’t approve of, you will begin to notice certain red flags that are too hard to ignore and just to sweep under the rug.
Never ignore the red flags the Lord may be trying to show you about a particular person if you are in a romantic relationship no matter how in love you may be with a particular person.
It’s so sad that many Christians especially Christian women who are desperate to be loved romantically by a man in a relationship or marriage, ignore these red flags.
However, doing so will just lead you into a lifetime of marital misery if you disobey the Lord in this area. It’s sadly the case with many Christian women who have found themselves in abusive and miserable marriages.
If you are seeing red flags in the current relationship you may be in, it could be a sign that God doesn’t want you to continue the relationship especially if your partner is unrepentant.

4. You’ll Notice Abuse.
Additionally, if you are in a relationship God is saying no to, it’s just a matter of time before you start noticing signs of abuse by your unsaved partner.
These forms of abuse could be emotional, verbal, or physical. God will never lead you to a person who will abuse you as that will not showcase His character which is good and holy.
James 1:17 tells us every good and perfect gift comes from God be it relationship-wise. If that’s the case, how can His gift be perfect if He leads to an abusive partner?
Since God wants the best for you, He doesn’t want you to be in an abusive relationship. If you are in one in the name of love or living that person, you need to get to your senses, fast before disaster strikes.
You must understand that true love that’s of God doesn’t hurt nor abuse. If you are with an abusive partner who claims to love you, dump that partner ASAP and run for your life.

5. Irreconcilable Differences.
If you are in a relationship God has said no to, you will find yourself having many irreconcilable differences on many vital life issues you can’t agree on as a couple.
You will just find yourselves as a couple not agreeing on many things in a relationship if you are not right for each other for marriage. Yes, disagreements are a natural thing in a relationship or Christian marriage.
But if your relationship isn’t God’s will, there will just be too many irreconcilable differences you will have on key life issues with your partner that will make it impossible for you to be together long-term.
For any Christian relationship to stand the test of time, it’s vital couples agree on important things such as faith, finances, children, and other things that may affect you in the future as a couple.
For example, you may find you want children and your partner doesn’t. if that’s the case, you will see no reason to continue that relationship if children are a non-negotiable big deal for you.
6. You Are Just Not A Good Fit For Each Other.
Sometimes, it will just so happen, no matter how perfect things may look outwardly in a relationship without any major issues, you may just not be a good fit for each other.
You must remember just because a person is a Christian doesn’t automatically make them a potential and suitable life partner for you to share and spend the rest of your life with.
This will be the case especially if you find yourself incompatible in many areas like core values, conflict management skills, temperament, or personality.
Remember, only God knows your type better and the right person who will truly understand and accept your flaws to be with in holy matrimony for life.
Not being a good fit for each other will always be one of the signs God will use to show you that the person you are dating or courting isn’t just the one yet.
7. Things Aren’t Just Working Out.
Finally, as we conclude our discussion on this topic, one last thing that will ultimately indicate to you God has said a big no to your relationship is things won’t just work out.
This will be regardless of how hard you try or doing all the right things to make the relationship work. Sometimes, things are just not meant to be despite your best efforts and following all the rules.
I know this is a bitter pill for you to swallow if you are in such a situation but you need to remember, that Jesus Christ knows the best and don’t let the relationship He’s said no to be the reason you’re mad at Him.
Yes, you may feel disappointed as to why your relationship hasn’t worked out despite doing everything right but don’t despair and just let go and let God have His way. You’ll be thankful you did so later on.
Remember that doing everything right in a relationship that wasn’t meant to be won’t change anything but rather delay the inevitable. Loving the wrong person won’t magically make them the one for you.

Conclusion.
I hope the above 7 signs God is saying no to a relationship will help you accept His will relationship-wise even if you don’t understand now.
Yes, sometimes, it’s hard to let go of the relationship or the person you thought was the one or one true love but remember, it’s for your own good as you will discover later on.
