Is it Him? Is It Her?

I read this devotion a long time ago (on March 8th to be exact), and I found it to be quite wonderful. It's from the book Give It to Me Straight by Fernando Zalsala. It's a Daily Devotional for Youth for 2012. Anyway, I would go around sharing this particular devotion with my friends, and I figured, why not share it on the blog? The topic is the same as the blog's, and it goes:

[Proverbs 19:14] "Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord."

After the decision whether or not to accept Christ as your personal Saviour, what do you think is the most important decision of your life?
In my opinion, it is choosing your life partner: your spouse. If you choose the wrong career, you always have the choice of another one. You may lose some time and money, but you can always change careers. The same could be said about your place of employment, your house, or your friends. In every case you have the opportunity and freedom to choose differently. But this is not the case with marriage, as this choice lasts a lifetime. Once you "jump on this train," you cannot choose to get off, unless your spouse commits adultery. But who want to live his life wishing for adultery, in order to marry someone else?
If you haven't yet decided whom you will marry, pay close attention to the following "tests" suggested by writer Walter Trobisch in his book I Married You:
The respect test: Do I admire this person? Could I introduce him to my family and friends without being ashamed? Do I wish her to be the mother of my children?
The habits test: Does this person have good personal hygiene? Does he have bad breath? What does she eat? What does he drink? What are his pastimes?
The treatment test: How does he relate to the opposite sex? Does he maintain his distance? How does she treat her parents, siblings, or children?
The quarrel test: After a fight, it is easy to reconcile with him? Does she know how to forgive?
The time test: Can I say I really know this person well? Do I know his family, past, principles and moral and spiritual values?
The most important question of all is what does this person think of Christ?
The prayer for today: Lord, I don't want to make a mistake in choosing a spouse. Please guide me as I make this important decision.

I don't know about you, but I found this devotion most applicable to my life as well as that of my peers. If you want, pass it on. It's awesome!
Go with God
