1) Learnt something new about God when you had a relationship with a person?

Yes, for sure! I made a lot of mistakes in my first/last relationship. Although I was far from God during the relationship, I really understood that he ALWAYS forgives.

2) Learnt something new about you as a person when you had a relationship with a person?

Yes! That I'm not as patient as I thought. I was hanging around a lot with my bf and I became so annoyed with him. I learned that I really need to grow in that department

3) Learnt something new about the opposite-gendered person when you have a relationship with this person?

Are you talking about the individual person? Yes, I learned that his stubbornness led him to stray far from God. He thought that pornography AND masturabation were both OK by God.

This is good! You should always learn something from your mistakes.

That's great, Sachi - you've learnt a lot.

My answers -
1) Learnt something new about God when you had a relationship with a person?
Well, I've had teacher-based relationships before and yeah - I've certainly learnt about God through the two teacher-based relationships. (It's not anything sexual with teachers, it was kind of communication like friends) - God loves everyone and yeah, God treats everybody the same.
2) Learnt something new about you as a person when you had a relationship with a person?
Through the teacher-based relationships, I've learnt that I can be quite impatient, especially with people not contacting me daily - yeah, I learnt that I love my emails, love to read them all the time. I've also learnt that I shouldn't have a mask over me - I need to be myself.
3) Learnt something new about the opposite-gendered person when you have a relationship with this person?
Well, this year - although she's a Christian, she was creating a lot of hatred against me and yeah
Last year - she's married but yeah, I still communicate to her often - she's an amazing person - her love shone me and yeah - she has a lot of similarities even for someone who is married and have young kids.
