There are times when we need to evaluate; evaluate our jobs, evaluate our friends, and may be even evaluate the foods that we eat. Here is the issue I often have with my fellow man (men and women), we never evaluate whether we are ready to be in a relationship.
We enter into relationships honestly just for the sake of being in a relationship, but then we end up unhappy and full of strife. The truth is though if we would just take a moment and ask ourselves if we are truly ready for a relationship.
I'm going to blog a little more about this topic, but I just want to introduce it to my readers.
Here are three things that you should evaluate before getting into a new relationship:
1. Has God cleared you to enter into a new relationship?
2. Are you emotionally ready to enter into a relationship?
3. Are you mentally ready to be in a relationship?
A lot of times we believe that if we are single and not with anyone that automatically makes us a contender for a relationship. We also believe that we are relationship ready because we are often physically compatible with another person and sexually deprived. Let me be very clear this does not make us relationship ready. Physical intimacy and sex does not make you ready for a relationship.
Take time and evaluate if you're ready to be in a relationship and take a look at the three domains above. Again I will elaborate more on this topic soon, but I just had to put it out there. Give you something to chew on.

I don't think that people understand the importance of evaluating their relationships. I'm fearful that things won't get better if people continue to just be in relationships just for the sake of having someone.
I honestly don't think anyone will ever be relationship ready. I feel like you just have to take a chance at love.
