Relationships shape the trajectory of our life stories. When people come into our lives, as friends, associates and especially romantic partners, you both pull each other in a certain direction.
They are pretty important. Though you don’t want to develop a fear of forming connections, in your 20’s, relationships should be approached with wisdom and vision.
Intentional romantic partnerships usually have a specific goal and purpose. You want to enhance each other’s lives, not take away from them. Not sure you’re ready to start dating again?
Pay attention to these simple signs.
1. You’ve Thought About Who You Are and What You Want
Of course, you don’t have to have it all figured out, but you at least want to have some vision for what you want your future to look like. Relationships involve compromise, but that doesn’t equate to loosing your individuality. What are your dreams and what do you value? Find someone whose vision merges well with yours and live life beautifully and purposefully.
2. You Want a Relationship, but Don’t Need One
This one’s tricky, especially as you get older and understand how unpredictable and challenging life can be. Your partner is supposed to be there to help get you through the tough times, but would burn out trying to be your sole source of emotional healing and coping. Before a relationship, we should learn the healthiest ways to deal with our emotions and the role our significant other should play in our emotional wellbeing.
3. You Have Peace About the Pursuit
What is God saying in your spirit? Like many other critical life decisions, you will probably feel a little nudge, one that’s distinguishable from fear and nervous jitters. Pray about your decision and, if it makes sense, consult with unbiased, wise mentors.
Whether you’re ready or not, we wish you the best in living purposefully on the rollercoaster that is your 20s.
Positively,
Post Graduate
