Well, its hard to fight LOVE eh.. the spirit is willing but the body is weak.. too weak to resist being loved and to be loved in return.. It is hard, i know especially when you met your match (or you just think you have met your match.) So a few advise from a person who is also has a willing spirit but weak flesh..
Always threat each other with respect, as if you would like some one to threat your sister/mother. Share values and convictions of your life and discover do you see eye to eye. Understand each other from a friendship point of view before going into any deeper relationship. Get to know do you both see the same future together...
Are you ready for commitments, responsibilities, financial providence, tolerance, unconditional love & acceptance, being selfless? your answer may be yes.. so another question would be.. Do you think God would approve? Pray about it before you go into any relationship, the only peace we may have in any relationship is getting the approval from our Heavenly Father.. Don't get into it when its not time yet..
"Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires." ~ Song of Songs 2:7~
