You’ll Experience a Genuine Connection, Not Just Chemistry
A 32-year-old woman named Michelle reached her breaking point.
She was frustrated with relationships, believing all the men she met were
only after sex. She decided to give up on dating and focus on her career.
Before she took that step, she prayed one last time and asked God to finally
bless her with the man for her.
She believes she’s a good woman and deserves to receive a good man.
Two days later she attended a networking event and met a handsome, well
put together man exactly her style at about 6’1”, strong frame, and a nice
smile. They spoke while there and got along well.
They exchanged numbers and Michelle went home a happy woman. She
was excited, praised God, and believed he might be “the one.”
Time progressed and they graduated from dating to a relationship. During
this time, she spoke to me about it, along with the potential for it to turn into
marriage. I was happy for her; however, I couldn't help but notice the vibe
wasn't right. I asked more questions and it became clear that although they got
along well, there wasn’t a genuine connection. They liked what each other
brought to the table; however, they didn’t enjoy sitting and eating there
together.
Think about that.
They were content with hype and surface benefits of the relationship, but
take that away and there isn't much else happening.
Unfortunately, the relationship eventually failed and never made it to
marriage. He was not the man
God had for her. The proof was in their lack of a genuine connection.
Without it, a relationship will not have long term success and you can be
assured this is not the man for you.

You’ll meet a lot of men who will catch your eye, and many you’ll talk to
and like. There may even be instances where you believe you love this man,
and that may be true; however, you won’t experience a deep and genuine
connection with every single one.
Such a connection is rare to experience more than once in a lifetime;
although, there are exceptions to the rule.
