    Between myself and my husband, we started out with at least 8 of these red flags. We just celebrated 20 years of marriage. It was rough at first but we were committed to God and committed to our vows and our children. Those commitments kept us focused and eventually we have been able to overcome, for the most part, all of our original flaws. Grace, sanctification and natural maturation have led to the marriage we always dreamed of.

    Relationship Mistakes
    1- unequally yoked relationships ( this may be a non Christian or a Christian that’s nominal / not on the same spiritual level which may lead to compromise)
    2- Rejecting godly counsel and accountability ( don’t go by sight alone look for character, spiritual walk etc)
    3- we don’t take time to process the pain from past relationships. We’d rather be with someone I stead of healing emotionally
    4- we sexualize the relationship and can’t make rational decisions. Sex before marriage can make a bad relationship seem good, or make a good relationship seem bad.
    5- we ignore red flags . They may be fine but are not for you. Look out for the red flags and do not ignore them. (He got a haircut in the wrong barber shop)
    15 red flags to pay attention to
    1. Dishonesty ( lack of integrity)
    2. Lack of spiritual interest
    3.lack a f physical connection / attraction ( this right here😮)
    4. Irresponsibility in all aspects especially financially
    5. Extreme emotional baggage from past relationships/ family background. They need to deal with them
    6. Failure to DTR ( define the relationship/ lack of commitment)
    7. Narcissist ( me, myself and I mentality)
    8. Manipulative and controlling behavior (run sis run& bro)
    9. Extreme criticism
    10. Lack of social connections no formed nor accountability
    11. Anger or abuse issues in all aspects
    12. Low self esteem
    13. Codependency ( a person that doesn’t have a life outside of you).
    14. Inability to resolve conflict ( emotionally immature)
    15. Jealously or insecurity ( checking messages/ mistrust) etc

After 10 years of marriage, she told me that she didn’t believe many aspects of the Bible that she once did. She actually told me that she thought Jesus was a political figure like Martin Luther King. You’re not alone. I ignored at least 8 of the 15 red flags. God bless you.

    I also ignored all the red flags and ended up in a bad marriage... twice. I tried to turn ungodly relationships into Godly relationships. I tried to follow Peter's advice:
    "Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives"
    1 Peter 3:1 NIV
    It didn't work. My attempts at Godly behavior had to be compromised to keep the peace. Nothing worked. I got dumped after 20 rocky years of trying to compromise and being a basket case for it. Then I repeated the process in a second marriage, this time to a "church-going Christian". Another 10 years of getting turned down for prayer, bible study, and Christian fellowship, then dumped again.
    How long can it possibly take to hear the truth? God must come first. Period.
    Now I live alone with the Lord, and he is healing me with his amazing Word. It's the best relationship I've ever had.
    Thank you, Pastor, for this spot-on, thorough breakdown of the illusion of worldly relationships.

    You hit the nail on the head Allen. I wasted years on a man who "seemed" like he was the right one. It was one of those things which I thought I could "save him" or "change him". Big mistake. If I had waited on God's guidance instead of going by myself I might have been married years ago. Well, maybe there is still hope for me. I'm 57 and have never been married, but had been in a lot of bad relationships. My parents don't even want me to get married. But it's God's and my choice, not theirs. If they are unreasonable about someone I meet (I'm the only believer in my family), and that person is a Christian, then if God wants me to marry that person I will. Please pray for me that someone will come a long.

      Same. The only difference is, I was hoping that he changed for the best version of him or the version God intends for him to be. He would tell me that he had changed but since I decided to detach myself from him mentally & emotionally I stop expecting, and never allowed myself to trust him again. I couldn't find it within myself because he showed me a side of him that was disturbing when we were dating, lies on top of lies and cheating. Today we are friends and he will go out of his way for me, unfortunately, I still do not trust him but I have forgiven him. I ask God to let his will be done, if it's meant to be then it will happen if not I am more than open to whomever God has for me because I know whomever he is will be God's best. I'm 50, I pray that God will give us our desires in his timing 🙏.

Also FYI I would suggest people research the word Fornication to see what it really means (most would say it's sex with a person you're not married to or other than the one you're married to=Adultery)but what exactly is Marriage 🤔 tbh it's the joining of two becoming 1 in bonding . So perhaps in God's eyes they were married just didn't have a wedding. But God knows.

I also realize that I needed to heal from the trauma I experienced in my childhood, adolescence, and my early adulthood. Thanks to Jehovah Rapha, who guided me to prayer, fasting, and therapy; I am in a much better place emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. All glory to God.
    I also realize that God has given me assignments for His glory. That could be done while I’m single or with a supportive husband. I have placed my love life in God’s hands. I will wait until the man God has for me comes into my life. For now, I’m enjoying my peace and singleness.

    Allen, thank you for sharing this with the Christian community! I know you've touched on this in your other vidoes, but it DEFINITELY needs to be readdressed. So, thank you for going into detail with this! We do not talk about this enough in the Christian community. We need to share this with our daughters and sons, bc this teaching is very important! Being unequally yoked to an unbeliever is hard and emotionally taxing! Thank you for sharing! Always thankful for your dedication to the Christian community. ✝️

    That unequally yoked thing is very serious but in rare occasion when a believer and a unbeliever get together, sometimes the unbeliever in the relationship has a change of heart and say...
    "You know what, I wanna become a Follower Of Christ"🤔
    But as I said, this a rare occasion and risky. I prefer to be hooked up with a believer🙏🏾

    Brother this is why I started following you several yrs ago, because you preach TRUTH. I wish this video was out 10yrs ago when I met someone on social media that I married and shouldn’t have. She eventually kicked me out because she didn’t care that she had demons, all 15 Red Flags 🚩 happened. I’ve been single 5yrs now and no longer under compulsion after 7 failed marriages.

    I probably have to disqualify myself, as number 14 is my weak area. The number of times I haven’t confronted someone about their behaviour and then I find I start to resent them compared to the number of times I have confronted them only for it turn pear shape very quickly. Oh if we could all be like David in his response to Nathan’s rebuke. Thank you Alan.

    Fully loaded episode. 10 years ago a man I loved married someone else. He had some of these flags but I was still devastated when he got married. A few days ago we actually had a divine orchestrated conversation and I saw the same flags. He too was warned not to marry his choice, but he wanted what he wanted. As for me, I had to do the work and now feel comfortable in my singleness until otherwise specified. Blessings and thank you!

  • @nickmaestro
    @nickmaestro Год назад +6

    How can I prove myself if I'm never called to bat? Or when I'm called to bat, I can't even strike out because no one throws the ball. My singleness is very much involuntary and not for a lack of not trying. I still pray about the desire for marriage and wanting to give my father a legacy. I've spoken with, had coffee with very well meaning, single Christian ladies, who've next to none of these red flags. On my end, next to none of these red flags, not saying I'm perfect. I think the only one I can admit to is emotional baggage. Minimally from past relationships because the longest I've ever had was 2 months, if she even saw us that way. But mostly from being stuck in the middle of my parents disastrous marriage that sadly ended in divorce when I was young back in the mid 90s. And they had plenty of red flags as I look back. It pained to learn years later of my father essentially being destroyed by the state of New Jersey, when biblically speaking he was not at fault. My father and mother are well and I've great relationships and forgiven both and myself. But time didn't heal those scars, it only made them numb. Leaning on the Lord healed.
    Anyways, when I get connected with Christian ladies, I just can't seem to get further than just a mutual connection. I try my best to not violate boundaries while showing genuine interest and stating intents, but there is no reciprocation. I'm either doing something wrong, nothing right, bad timing or neither. Maybe I'm simply not what they are looking for. And I just can't figure it out. I pray and have multiple Godly men to speak with on things, not just marriage. I don't want to sound self-righteous, because that's what Job was guilty of. Just that whenever this topic comes up from family and friends on why I'm still single, it comes off as if I'm in the wrong. Not saying Pastor Allen is doing that. But it's hard to speak up, either out of humility or that I'm just too defeated to fight back. At age 35, 10+ years of rejection does this to you. At the end of the day, I desire to honor and serve the Lord in every area. Whether it’s me teaching music, coaching my cross country team, practicing, possibly marriage if I’m granted that, etc.
    Thanks Pastor Allen.

    I personally feel like I’m single because I don’t put myself out there enough or pretty much at all. I really don’t know how to do that though at this point in my life. Im only 28 and my self esteem isn’t the lowest but I think I did get too comfortable after breaking off a toxic relationship in 2019 and now I just don’t know how to get back out there.

      @SnehDanial Год назад +2

      I personally know friends & have heard some testimonies of how people decided to just pray & trust God instead of putting oneself out there like the world does it.. & their respective spouses were brought to them by God in His own time & they instantly knew that that was the person God willed for them & now they’re happily married. 😊

      @@SnehDanial Thank you for sharing this💛… a big part of me believes that’s the way God will reveal my future spouse to me. I’ve been praying for a great spouse for most of my 20s but I have yet to meet anyone. I’m not giving up on God, but I do get discouraged sometimes.
