Before I explain the advice, please remember, my spelling and grammar is below par, so please bear with me and my poor attempt to "draw a picture" here.

The advice I was given as follows, I do not remember the words exactly, so I will paraphrase.

"If you keep trying to focus on finding the one for you, you never will. I know your conviction with god, and I know your pride, you will not stand for anything less than what god made to be your other half.

With that being said, imagine a triangle, at the top of that triangle is God. Now this triangle can be at any angle or any size, but for the purposes of this analogy, please keep one point at the top.

You are a dot on another point of the triangle. If you keep looking towards your spouse and not looking at god, you will never get closer to god. (which was the biggest mistake in my last relationship)

If you always try to move closer to Gods point, eventually, you will find that woman who is also trying to get closer to gods point from her little spot on this world. If both of you always look to god and keep each other in mind, you cannot help but find your other eventually, and you two can only grow closer together."

What do you guys think? I do try to keep this in mind on my daily walk, and it suprisingly has helped me through some easy and some tough times. :)

EDIT: Fixing grammar errors as I read it through :)

I have learned that whatever it is you think of most, becomes, and is your God. If you are in a relationship, and that person is what you think of most.. that is your God.


This is a good reminder to put your energies where they belong.

A good friend taught me this a while ago, and it keeps me in check.
