Knowing God’s will in a relationship before marriage is crucial, as it ensures that we align our lives with His purpose and experience His unconditional love and peace.

Many Christians are in miserable marriages today devoid of joy and peace because they never consulted God on whom to marry. Rather, they allowed their flesh to deceive them.

To begin our discussion for today let’s explore the five practical ways to discern God’s will in your relationship that will help you have a fulfilling godly marriage in a future full of love, joy, and happiness.

5 Ways To Know God’s Will In A Relationship.

Below are 5 ways that will help you know God’s will and purpose in your relationship if you desire to have a Christ-centered godly marriage in the future filled with God’s love and joy.

Have A Personal Relationship With God.
Study God’s Word.
Seek Godly Counsel Asap.
Pray For Discernment.
Listen To The Peace Within.

1. Have A Personal Relationship With God.

Knowing God’s will for a person to marry begins with knowing God Himself. Invest time in building a personal intimate relationship with Him through prayer, studying His Word, and fellowship with other believers.

Having a personal relationship with God by being truly born again by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior is the first step you need to take if you want to know God’s will for the relationship you may be in before saying, “I do.”

Without having a personal intimate relationship with God, you will not know His will or purpose for your life and the person He wants you to marry.

Not having a strong relationship with God is one of the reasons why many believers end up marrying the wrong person God didn’t intend for them causing such people to suffer in their marriages.

You need to ask the Holy Spirit, our divine counselor to guide you in making decisions that align with God’s will and purpose for your life especially when it comes to choosing a future life partner.

2. Study God’s Word.

The second thing that will help you know God’s will in your relationship before you marry is studying God’s word regularly, which will guide you in choosing the right spouse.

As Christians, the Bible is the divine roadmap for our lives that offers timeless wisdom and guidance in all areas of our lives including relationships. It’s why you must always look to God’s word for advice in the area of marriage.

Reading and Exploring scriptures that address relationships, marriage, and love, such as Ephesians 5:22-33 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, will help you know what God says about marriage relationships.

This is why as a believer who desires a godly wife or godly husband in the future, you need to immerse yourself in God’s word as His word will help and guide you on who to marry and not to marry.

Let God’s voice via His word be your guide if you are at a stage in life where you are seeking and desiring a life partner. Doing so will help you understand what a Christ-centered marriage is all about and help you not make costly mistakes in this area many are making.

3. Seek Godly Counsel Asap.

Seeking godly counsel on whom to marry is another crucial step you can’t afford to ignore if you want to know God’s will in your relationship before tying the knot.

Proverbs 11:14 in the old testament tells us that where there is no guidance, people fall, but in an abundance of counselors, there is safety.

Many benefits come with seeking godly counsel from godly counselors when it comes to relationships as they can see what we can’t see due to our lack of experience or maturity.

Seek wise counsel from trusted godly mentors, pastors, or mature believers who have experience and a solid understanding of God’s word concerning marriage relationships. You will be thankful you did that later, dear.

If many believers did this, they wouldn’t be in the miserable marriages there are now. So, if you don’t want to make a costly mistake in this area of marriage, seek godly counsel as God often uses the godly wisdom of others to confirm His will in our lives.

4. Pray For Discernment.

Another vital thing you must do if you want to know God’s will in your relationship before you marry is to pray for discernment on whom to marry.

Praying for the Lord to help you discern if the person you desire to be in a relationship with and marry later is vital as that will help you not end up marrying the wrong person as many have.

You need to understand that only God truly knows what’s inside the heart of every person and the person who’s the right fit for you to marry. We as humans as easily deceived by the external appearances of people.

Thus, it’s why you need to pray earnestly so that the Lord reveals to you anything that may be of concern to you about a particular person you may be considering your future spouse as people nowadays are good at pretending during courtship.

As you pray, be open to God’s leading and trust that He will make His plans known to you. Remember, God’s timing is perfect, so be patient and wait for His response even if it’s taking longer than expected.

5. Listen To The Peace Within.

Last but not least, God’s will in a relationship is often accompanied by a deep sense of peace and assurance. If you find the right person to marry God intended for you, there will be that indescribable peace you will have in your heart.

On the contrary, if you are with a person who isn’t God’s will for you, that inner peace will not be there in your heart. Something just won’t feel right if you are with the person God doesn’t want you to be with or marry.

If you find yourselves at peace together about the direction of your relationship, it may be an indication that you are aligning with God’s will and purpose for your future marriage relationship.

However, if there is unrest, confusion, or a lack of peace in the relationship you may be in, take time to reevaluate and seek God’s wisdom as that could be a sign from God that the person you are with isn’t the one.

Once you find the right spouse, God wants you to be with for the rest of your life, you will know it deep down your heart without any reasonable doubt that this is the one.

Conclusion.

I hope this post on 5 ways on how to know God’s will in a relationship will now help you to know what to look for in a godly relationship before you marry.
