They’ve decided to settle, they move forward, eventually marry the man

who’s “good enough,” and now things really hit the fan. They realize they’re

in a relationship that makes them unhappy and struggle to understand why it’s

not the way they want. Well, part of them understands why, but they fight it.

They fight it with the hope they can turn it around, try to make right the

bad decision they knew was doomed from the beginning. They want to

believe they can keep going because they’ve invested so much, but they’re

dragging along unhappy and miserable all because they settled.

Eventually that person will leave, the man will leave, or the relationship

will mutually dissolve and what happens then—back at square one.

#2 – Settling is Only a Temporary Fix

Sure at times temporary could be three, five, ten, or even fifteen years, but

I tell you what, there is an expiration date. You may argue that there’s an

expiration date on real love; however, I don’t buy that and neither should you.

Even so, at least those who don’t settle will be happy until that time comes.

It's pointless to accept temporary when it will lead to more issues. Settling

affects your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health. It deteriorates

your overall quality of life because you feel boxed in and that’s not going to

work for you.

#3 –You’ll Never Find Real Happiness

When you’re with someone who you’re not happy with, you’ll always feel

a void. There will be emptiness, a feeling of something missing in the

relationship. That’s no way to live. If you were to have private conversations

with some of your friends, your mother, or your aunts, and maybe even your

grandmother, those who you sense were in similar situations, they can attest

to how unhappy, empty, and lonely it felt being in that relationship or

marriage for X amount of years. One of the worse positions to be in is with

someone and still feel lonely.

This happens when you settle.

There will be a void.

You can’t escape it. You can’t run from it and as long as you’re there,

you’ll deal with it. The best example I can give is the person who’s at a job

they hate. Sure, they’re there and it gives them a paycheck. They drag along

with it, but they’re unhappy, miserable, and feel like something’s missing.

They want out. It feels like a constant prison and they wish they can break

free. That’s no way to live, and it’s definitely not way that God wants you

live. That situation must change because doesn’t it glorify God.

Settling doesn’t give God glory.

God is not in the business of giving you lackluster relationships. He’s not

in the business of giving you mediocrity. He doesn’t specialize in having you

walk around unhappy and miserable over something HE gave you as a
