Interesting reading

I was poking around on MSN.com today and found this article, which goes well with the one I bookmarked from a few days ago. I'm going to put both links in this post so if you're interested, you can check the articles out.

The one I read tonight was an insight into how your birth order affects your love life and romantic style. Well, considering my love life sucks, and my younger brother has a more serious relationship than I do, I found this intriguing. Maybe you will find it applicable to your own life.

The other article was on praying for love. I know from talking to a lot of people that they (and myself included) pray for God to bring them someone to love, someone that they find compatible and wonderful enough for their affections. But how beneficial is it to pray for love and leave it completely up to God to figure out? Someone once told me that God is not a dating service, you have to do most of the work yourself when it comes to finding someone. But He can guide you into a frame of mind that readies you for a relationship, as well as giving you a way to form common bonds with others that believe like you do.

Faith is one of the major things that makes or breaks relationships these days, along with money and distance. In a long-distance relationship, partners who share in the idea of religion are more successful in sustaining the relationship. You can put your trust in God that He will lead you to the right person, but He is not going to do all the work for you---that's the beauty of dating.
