4 Biblical Marks You’re Ready to Be in Love with Someone

Here are 4 biblical indications that God has prepared you so you are now ready to be in a loving relationship with someone.

And if you haven’t heard, the deadline to enroll in AGW University closes tonight, November 25th at 11:59pm.

If you enroll before the deadline, you get lifetime access to all 7 of my online relationship courses, 3 months of bonus one-on-one email coaching with me, lifetime access to the private study group which has over 1000 other students in it currently, and you will get the current scholarship.

For more information, feel free to read to the end of this article where I’ll share more details about this unique opportunity. Or you can click here to visit AGW University. 

1. If You Have Been Humbled Enough to Know You Will Always Be Learning to Love Better, This Is a Good Indication You Are Ready to Be in Love with Someone

There are standards in Scripture when it comes to being ready for a commitment relationship headed towards marriage (Song of Solomon 8:4). You must be ready to sacrifice, filled with the Spirit so you are bearing his fruit, and prepared to obey the Scriptures regarding relationship roles.

However, it’s also important to remember that sanctification is really about growing. God transfers the perfections of Christ onto us through justification and imputation. Through sanctification we learn to walk in those gifts. (See Romans 4-8 for more on this.)

Thus, in a way, you will never be fully ready for a loving relationship (Philippians 3:12). Rather, when you meet the right person, God will pair you together that you might become more and more able to love as you grow in the Lord together (1 Thessalonians 5:11, 2 Peter 1:5-11).

2. If You Have Learned to Balance Your Emotions with Self-Control, This Is a Good Indication You Are Ready to Be in Love with Someone

Love is a simple yet complicated thing. We all know what love is. But when you study it, you realize you can endlessly learn more about it. It’s an emotion and a commitment. It’s a noun and a verb. It’s personal and it’s corporate. It’s romantic and platonic.

Perhaps at the heart of the dichotomy in love are the two sides of feelings and choice. Love is both. Without feelings, your love is cold and distant. Without choice, your love is fickle and unpredictable. Thus, to truly experience love, you must allow your emotions to flourish without allowing your emotions to rule over you.

As 1 Peter 4:7-8 states, “The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”

3. If Your Love for Christ Is Strong Enough to Avoid the Temptation to Idolize Someone You Really Care About, This Is a Good Indication You Are Ready to Be in Love with Someone

Perhaps the most dangerous attacks the enemy uses are not through pain but through pleasure. I believe there are more people who turn away from Christ because they seek their pleasure in false gods than there are who turn from God because they are going through something hard. Both temptations are common and effective, and oftentimes Satan tempts us with a combination of both; but I believe the temptation of pleasure is more powerful that pain.

Thus, to enjoy something good and pleasurable that God wants us to experience with joy and gratitude while also not idolizing it, we must be prepared to stop our allegiance to this thing when it threatens to encroach on holy ground (1 Timothy 6:17). If you allow anything to compete with your love for God, that blessing will become a curse. This applies to relationships as well.

So you are ready to love another person when you are committed to always love God more than this person (Matthew 22:36-40).

4. If You Are Prepared to Love Imperfectly and Be Loved Imperfectly, This Is a Good Indication You Are Ready to Be in Love with Someone

When a relationship is just blossoming and headed towards marriage, perhaps the most important three words are, “I love you.” Once you get married and you start realizing how imperfect you are and how imperfect your spouse is, perhaps the most important three words become, “I forgive you.”

In a way, these two phrases are expressing the same thing but in two different contexts. When we say, “I love you,” we are making a commitment and expressing our joy in this person. When we say, “I forgive you,” we are following through on our commitment to love while protecting the environment that is needed for joy in someone to continue.

If you need someone to be perfect in order to love them, the only person you will ever love is Jesus. But Jesus himself commands us to love others (Matthew 22:39), thus Jesus spent a lot of time teaching us how to forgive and work through issues (Matthew 18:15-20).

Thus, if you are ready to express a mature love that stays faithful even when things get hard, this is a great sign you really are ready for a loving relationship.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, the deadline to enroll in AGW University will close tonight at 11:59pm.

I’m not promising you lavish blessings if you enroll in these courses. However, what I can promise you is that if you are in a season of life where you are prepared to work hard and truly study what the word of God says about relationships, you will grow immensely by enrolling in AGW University. And while I would never claim to have a secret marriage formula, I have created a wise blueprint that you can follow to increase your chances of meeting the one God might have for you.

I believe so much in the biblical information packed into these courses that I offer a 14-day money back guarantee for anyone not fully satisfied with their experience, no questions asked. Here’s what a few recent students have said about their experiences:

If you enroll before the deadline, which is tonight at 11:59pm, you will get:

• Lifetime access to all 7 relationship training courses, which is a total of 73 in-depth biblical classes. Each class has a video and the content is all in writing as well.
• You will also get lifetime access to the AGW University private Facebook group. This is where all the students can come together, share their struggles, make new friends, and learn from each other. I started this group as a little side bonus, but it has since blossomed into a thriving, encouraging community of likeminded people. This group has over 1000 students in it thus far. (You don’t need to join this group to get the course information. This group is just for those of you who want the community and connection with other AGW students.)
• Also, if you enroll before the deadline, I’m giving you three months of bonus email coaching with me for no additional tuition cost. This is where you can share your personal story with me and you and I can create an individualized plan just for you to help you follow the Lord’s leading in your life specifically.
• Lastly, for everyone who enrolls before 11:59pm tonight, I am also giving you a $60 scholarship.

Again, this is not a magical formula. Rather, this is an invitation to those of you who desire to go to the next level and receive specialized relationship training that stems right from God’s word.
