Just taking a moment to do a quick check...
Is your relationship with your "significant other" centered upon God?

May your relationships be one that glorifies God in every way. God bless all of you and wishing you happiness and a blessed future together.

 

[JesusWasn'tWhite]

I suppose I wonder what you mean by "centered on God".
Did we prayerfully consider dating after knowing that we both liked each other? Yes.
Do we listen for God's voice in our lives about our relationship? Yes.
Are we obedient to the Holy Spirit's stirrings in us and convictions? Yes.
Do we pray together? Not a ton.
Do we do "devotionals" together? No.
Do we talk about God, what He's doing in our lives, as well as theology and philosophy? Yes.
Would we end the relationship if God was showing and telling us to? Yes.
Do we both think that God will show/tell us in the right time if we are to get married? Yes, for the most part.

So.. I'm not sure what you would call it.
I'd like to say that God plays a part in our relationship. Maybe not the biggest part, or maybe not a large enough part. Are we working on refining how we present ourselves and our relationship to God as an act of worship and honor? Oh yeah.

What do all y'all think?

I guess im like you.
all the questions you wrote are the same for me, although i guess in the last month or so things have been slipping and God has been far from any part in the relationship. but we are working on geting back to where you are at now.
We want to honour god, as well as respecting each other, and growing in God individually. It's an on going process, but day by day God is becoming a biggger part, if only fractionally, of our relationship.
Well...thats my opinion anyways...

yep God is a huge part of our relationship. we attend church regulary together, we pray together over meals, we do devotions, listen to Christian music together, and talk about God. He's definitiely in our relationship. We even helped at a Christmas play Saturday and Sunday.

Great!!! I am happy to hear that all of you answered yes and are working on keeping God in your lives everyday. Power to you all!!

I don't think our relationship would exist if it wasn't for God's central leadership. He's been extremely amazing and good to the two of us. Makes you hungry for more.. more of Him that is!

As for me and my boyfriend we are working on it. We both don't agree with church at the moment so it's rather difficult. He's always too busy to discuss church with me. I feel like he's going to say will you go and find a good church for us and when you think you've found one let me know and than i'll give you my input. It feels like this more me most of the time.

Hang in there. Keep persevering and I pray that you find a church that both of you feel comfortable with. Given all the churches out there, there has got to be one that would suit both of you. If church is important to both of you, then I would think he should make time to discuss it with you. Maybe you can find the right time or ask him for a "time" when both of you can discuss it. It's okay to disagree on things. Even in marriage, partners will disagree sometimes. The key is working through those disagreements and reaching a compromise that both can accept. So keep trying and don't give up. Take time to work out those things that are important to you before you go to the next commitment level. May God's love help both of you love deeper. God bless you both!

It was for a long time but lately we've allowed our focus to stray. We're doing a good job of getting back on track though.

I think I'd have to answer a combination of Yes and We're Working On It - we're definitely not perfect, but our faith isn't anywhere close to being absent from the relationship.

 

[miss_klara]

We're working on it... slowly... he's at a bit of a crossroads which makes it harder, but I'm talking to my youth pastor about ways to make God more central.
*sigh* I just can't wait for him to take on more of a spiritual-leader role.... *praying*

 

[MrsSeptemberPenguin]

We're working on it. We don't do devotionals together, during the school year (when we live closer to each other, right now we're 2 1/2 hours away) we go to church together and when we're apart we go to our own churches, we pray together but probably not as much as we should, and we try to do what God desires for our relationship, we hold each other accountable in our relationship with Christ too though and encourage each other in him.

Same as she said ^

God is definitely important to both of us, especially in our relationship and where we're going with it, but we've still got a few things we need to work on.

My faith is getting stronger by the minute it seems, but he's still not the 'spiritual leader', which is fine, it will come in time.

this post reminds me of my sweetheart and I
We both are very serious about keeping God at the center of our relationship.
He brought us together,and He keeps us together,and because of it our relationship and love for each other is better than anything I could have ever imagined

Definitely yes and continuing to work on it. God recently laid it on me to spend more time with Him, in order to bring a more grounded me into my relationship. My guy is cool with this, he agrees that we need to put God first always. We get to talk again on Sunday and compare what each of us got in our time "apart"

yeah that best describes me and my fiance as well

 

[heartnsoul]

I'm so glad to read that so many of you are in great relationships and working on being one with God. Awesome! Working together to honor God will bring you much blessings and joy in the marriage life. God bless you all.

 

[JesusFreak78]

Yes, our relationship Christ centered. We study the bible together (even if it has to be done via IM since we live 4000 miles apart ) and we always ask ourself what Jesus would have done if we are not sure. If we can't say for sure what Jesus would have done right away we pray about it.

We want our relationship to honor and reflect Christ.

 

[Ave Maria]

No, our relationship is not centered on God as neither of us are practicing Catholics.
