•Being separate
•Being unique
•Being whole

Does God call on your life depend on your relationship status?
"Your status may change, but your character won't. Develop character worthy of your calling." God is calling you to something for Him. If it so happens that someone else comes along to support you, that's great. But the other person shouldn't be the one affecting your calling.

What does our culture say about being single? The "You complete me" mentality. Singleness=incompleteness. This is false. Just false. God completes you. No human can possibly complete you.

What does God say about being single? Don't spend so much time looking for who you want that you have no time to be who you are. "You should be running so hard after God that eventually you'll look up and realize someone else running along side you."

What does it take to be in a successful relationship? Ephesians 5:25-"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her." Being in a relationship relies on the strongest love imaginable. Agape.

Bottom-line-Psalm 37:4-"Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart."

Notes From the Peanut Gallery:
So, this is a very interesting topic...My thoughts on the subject are extremely complex and attempting to unravel my theories could get messy. My opinions aren't typical of a teenager, and I'm sure if I shared them here I would offend some people. But I digress. The important thing is that regardless of what your opinions are or what your facebook relationship status says, your heart is God's. Always. There's no possibility of differing opinion on that. However, I am interested in what you think a teenage relationship should look like. So please comment below with your opinion. Even though I'm sure you don't want to, that means you should all the more.
