It's the typical Taylor Swift love song: boy meets girl, girl falls in love, boy dumps girl and the cycle starts again about a week later with someone new. We, the millennials, are known in part for our lack of commitment in relationships. But, this is not entirely our fault. We succeed the generation of divorce. The generation of step-parents, custody battles, affairs and "falling out of love." Now don't get me wrong, there were so many ridiculously amazing consequences following the divorce of my parents. I love my step-parents more than words could ever tell. However, I refuse to just stand idly by and watch the merry-go-round continue to spin. I am ready to break the cycle.

I am ready to stomp on the stereotypes of our generation and throw away what we've been taught about dating and sleeping with whomever we chose, without feeling the need to commit to them. No more aimless one night stands or childish one week relationships. It is time to stop being people of worldly pleasure and start being ones of Godly pursuit.

Ladies, it's great that he opens your door for you but, does he respect your boundaries? I'm happy that he makes you laugh, but does he read the Bible with you? Does he openly talk about God and Salvation? Will he go out of his way for you? Will he take you to church? I could go on with the questions but I think you understand. I know this sounds harsh, but life will be harsh. Life will be cruel, demanding and unfair. In ten years when you lose your job or the two of you are questioning how to pay the bills, good looks and "chemistry" won't save your marriage.

In today's society, with all of the destruction and vulgarity around us, I cannot stress enough how important it is to find someone who will love you, but love God more. When you find a man like that (and yes, they exist), hang on to him. Find his little quirks and flaws and learn to love every last one of them. Learn what makes him smile and give it abundantly. Most importantly, don't rush loving him. Instead cherish the road to love that God has made so sweet.

As for the guys out there, I won't lie and say that I can relate to you. But I do know that you deserve the same. You deserve a lady who will spend her nights in prayer for you and who will look to the Word of God for how to better help and love you. When you find her, pursue her as Christ pursues the church. For in the pursuit of her heart, you will find the greatest pleasure; intimacy that surpasses anything that a premarital sexual relationship could provide. This is spiritual intimacy from, and with God through another one of his creations. I found from my own personal experience that it is, without a doubt, beautiful.
