Dr. Dharius Daniels shares this message titled “4 Things I Would Tell My Daughter, Part 1,” and it is a message you will love to listen to. Dr. Daniels teaches us in this message that there are things to know before going into a relationship or marriage.
- Love Is Not Enough: There is doubt that the person loved you or that you loved the person; we have to know that experience in relationships is not going to be based on how much he loves you. Is based on whether his love is actually leading his behavior. Some people can have issues that are stronger than the people they love, and no matter how much they love you, their love for you is not in charge of their behavior. People who greatly love you can end up hurting you deeply.
When is it OK to struggle financially in a relationship? It all depends on the season that the woman is in; there are certain seasons that are higher-earning seasons. There are seasons where your financial condition is more consequential than others, like retirement, and there is no financial fortress built around your life. In your 20s, you can decide to build together, not at an older age. The woman must determine what stage of life you are in and whether or not you are financially struggling.
When Should You Leave A Relationship That’s Not Financially Stable? Sometimes people look at current earnings. Don’t look at how much he earns; look at his earning potential, which is based on two things: character traits like being responsible. You have to know if the person has earning potential and if he is responsible, because that is going to have a greater impact on the quality of your life. You have to make sure that he’s building something that can actually produce a financial fortress around him and his family.
Money matters. You have to make sure that you are marrying an asset and not a liability, and only you can determine what that is. Money doesn’t solve all problems, but you need money to solve the problems that money can solve.
Nobody is perfect, so where do you draw the line? Love is not enough, and everybody’s imperfect. You have to know the difference between imperfect and unsafe. Everybody has to gauge where that line is for them and should have clear core values that are non-negotiable because if you don’t have that for yourself, you don’t have a filter to choose what will or won’t work for you.
