WHICH IS BETTER?
Our natural inclination is to put on our best appearance with someone we hope to please or attract, but in time the full and true picture is seen. if you really love someone, allow yourself that time to see the other person as he or she really is, and be honest in presenting yourself as you actually are.
Granted, no one wants a reputation as being proud, insensitive, lazy or lacking maturity to deal with the realities of life after marriage. but it is betterto confront these trait headlong rather than pretending that they do not exist. if you pretend, be assured they will surface later on. Close your eyes to unpleasant facts during courtship and you will certainly face them after the wedding. The Bible's counsel at Prov. 31:30 remains timeless, "Charm may be false, and beauty may be fleeting,
But the woman (or man) who fears Jehovah will be praised". so when it comes to who you would like to spend the rest of your life with, always ask yourself WHICH IS BETTER?
