3. To attract the right man for

marriage, you must recognize that

you don’t have to be in a

relationship to be whole

A lot of times, we are looking for something that we don’t have in

ourselves. We are looking for someone that has something we lack and

need. As good as this may look, it is very dangerous.

Do you yearn to be married because you believe it will make you feel

complete? Understand that marriage doesn’t complete you.

If you think you need to be half of a couple to be all of who you are, you’re

engaging in “wrong thinking.” You don’t need to be half of a couple to be

complete.

It is much better to find wholeness and completeness in God. That way,

you are focused on your own contributions, rather on what you need.

It is often true that when you are complete in God all by yourself, you

become more attractive and appealing to a broad range of personalities,

including the type that you want!

Besides, it is better to be happy alone than sick with

someone else. The most important relationship you

have is the one you have with yourself.
