A man of God will make it known to his partner that he loves God more than anything else in the world. He will love God more than he could ever love any other human. His relationship with God will never be compromised for a human relationship and that is what makes him so special.

A man of God will not pull Bible verses out of his back pocket and recite them in order to impress other people. He will not google verses that he can use at his discretion. He will feel no pressure to prove to anyone that he is a Christian and has studied the Bible because his actions and words have already made it known that he is living through Christ.

A man of God will not allow for his partner's relationship with their faith to be compromised the same as he would not allow his own faith to be compromised. His partner's faith journey is just as important to him as his own, if not more important.

A man of God will recognize that he is called by God to use his life in giving glory to Christ. He is not called by God to make money and to maintain expensive possessions. He will recognize those things as blessings and as things that come second. First and foremost is using his life to give glory to Christ.

A man of God will never establish a physical relationship before an emotional or spiritual relationship. He will recognize that physicality is a beautiful gift from God that stems from an emotional relationship. He will also recognize that a physical relationship is not and never will be a necessity in any relationship with his partner.

A man of God will never pressure his partner into a physical relationship, nor will he be pressured into a physical relationship. He recognizes that in order for that relationship to begin, both people must have had time to prayerfully consider the relationship.

A man of God does not date somebody without having the intent to marry. He recognizes that the relationship may not end in marriage, but he knows that the act of dating is a test to see whether or not this person is fit for marriage.

A man of God is humble.

A man of God is kind.

A man of God does not just take his partner's hand, he continuously lifts them up in prayer.

A man of God does not just walk with Jesus through a relationship, he lives through Jesus during a relationship.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
