I love how you say,”God is the Author of Love”❤❤

Dear Heather, thank you so much for these Biblical advices. Be blessed

Thanks so much Heather for this very helpful, excellent, as well as insightful video, I really needed to see this. I have not had a relationship for close to twenty years (the relationships that I have been involved in in my past have been mostly abusive ones unfortunately… that, I have not ever dated a true born-again believer that bears good fruit either), but God has given me a strong desire to marry since I became a born-again Christian in 1995… He, over the many years that I have been a Christian, has also given me some very obvious signs as well as several prophetic words that I’m going to one day be married. That said, I really believe that it’s so important that those who desire to be married in the future, do what we can to prepare for it well before the time comes. So, thanks so much for making and posting this video, as it helps those, including myself, to do just that. God continue to richly bless you and your precious family! 💕

LoverofJesus724 Thank you for sharing! I, too, have not dated in quite a long time. But I have the same strong desire to be married. I was not raised in a Christian home, so I didn't have healthy, Godly role models... But I learned over the years, God our Father wants us treated in a kind, thoughtful, respectful way! It's easy to submit to a man who submits to God, if you know what I mean. Be encouraged delay is not denial as we have heard. God will be faithful to give you the desires of your heart. His timing is perfect! You do not have to settle ever, none of us do. Amen.

@@CHOOSE_TO_BE_U Amen!! I completely agree with all that you said, and thank-you so very much for the thoughtful and kind encouragement, I do really appreciate that. And I, too, did not have healthy and Godly role models in my parents either. Honestly, it was a very dysfunctional alcoholic home that I grew up in (my father had an alcohol & drug addiction for many years until he was miraculously delivered from those things shortly before he was eventually diagnosed with dementia that ended up eventually taking his life), so I can definitely relate to what you were saying about not having healthy and Godly role models (thankfully my mom is still living and has been saved since 2009… we are actually very close and have been for many years). Thanks again for your response. Praying that God will fulfill your desire for a spouse (the right Godly husband tailor made for you) very soon. ❤️

Erin, I'm so glad that it was helpful to you! Praying that God brings you fulness of joy in this season of preparation and allows your heart to be open and receptive to His leading that you may know the right one when he comes along!

Thanks so much I needed to hear this. Some of these topics relate very well to what I been working through to better myself including healing from unresolved trauma. I will likely continue to have questions for your upcoming videos. What types of differences are ok in a Godly relationship? For example, I enjoy the beach and the Pool, a guy is more of a Mountain person, is that okay if both are willing to compromise and open to trying new things? One guy I remember dating when I was 20, he said he would go with me to the beach, then months later he turned it around and said he's not going to any beach that's made of trashy things, he wouldn't compromise either, I found out later he had a gambling problem and wouldn't take accountability, I had to courage to break up with him in person at a club that friends and I hung out at during that time. I'm always excited for your videos you release and continue to be hungry for learning. God bless!

[@HeatherDanielleMitchell]

I'm so glad that it was timely for you Morgan! To your question, I think differences can be good, they keep the relationship interesting. However, like you mentioned, both people need to be willing to compromise and share new experiences together! Compromise is one of the biggest aspects of a healthy relationship.

Heather, You did a wonderful job with this video. Excellent points that you made, backing it all up with scripture. The only thing I would advise as a single person to be mindful of is who you allow in your social Inner Circle. If you have friends that are criticizing behind their boyfriend or husband's back, either gently confront them or pull back because you don't want that strife-filled, complaining attitude to get on you! We need to have each other's back and especially our husbands! ♥️ 📖 I learned this from experience. I did confront a friend years ago in a letter telling her that I cared about her, her husband, her whole family!! So, please do not put your husband down in front of me... I never heard from her again, but I feel in my heart I did the right thing. 🤍 Hope this helps someone. We need to keep strife out of our relationships according to James 3:16... For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

[@HeatherDanielleMitchell]

Yes! I 100 percent agree, Janet! That is such a good point. We should always be building up our partners and honoring them in front of others, never criticizing them or complaining about them behind their back. I have also been in a similar situation, and eventually had to break ties with that person as well.
