How to be a Godly girlfriend/fiance

Being a Godly girlfriend/fiancé

In the beginning of our relationship, I didn't know what it meant to be a Godly girlfriend. I was so new to it, and I didn't know what to do but through these past few years of dating my handsome man, I found an app called "pinterest" and pinterest is awesome! Anyways I was scrolling through one day and I found "how to be a girlfriend/wife (Bloggers below) and I absolutely loved it and I reflected on our relationship and I started to pray and I asked God to help me be a Godly girlfriend. Grant and I both grew up in a christian home but we were so new to this dating business that we didn't know how to start a Godly relationship. About a year in our relationship we started to pray about everything and we gave our relationship to God. Once we did that, we felt closer to each other because we put God at the head of our relationship. I have really learned to be a submissive and Godly girlfriend and honestly God has blessed our relationship abundantly. We are now engaged and getting married! Being an engaged woman is amazing but through all the planning, I've made sure that I have spent time everyday to thank God for blessing me with an amazing Godly man and that he will give Grant and I patience during our engagement while we plan and that we won't forget the meaning of love and why we are getting married. The closer Grant and I get to God and the more we love God, the more Grant and I will love each other. Being a Godly girlfriend/fiancé comes with a lot of things like purity and modesty. As Christians we should be praying about purity and that we will remember to guard our heart and stay pure and wait agreeing to Gods plan. 

Modesty is a huge thing for being a Godly girlfriend/fiancé because being modest glorifies God and that helps having a pure relationship. 

 ~Colossians 3:14 "And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."

 ~1 Peter 4:8 "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."


 Pray for him!
 
-Prayer is so important, and he needs prayer too, so remember to always thank God for him even if he is driving you crazy but pray pray pray! Through prayer amazing things happen!  Through prayer comes blessing and joy! Now as Grant and I are engaged, we are continuing to put God first and thanking him for giving us each other and allowing us to enjoy life together through God. We can't wait to get married and to see all the blessings that are in store! 
Once I am a wife, I will make a post about how to be a Godly wife! 

Encourage him!
 Encouraging him and always tell him how good he is doing at work and encourage him to do things, like going to biblestudy or making some new friends! Encourage him to love and follow God more!
