How to handle relationships that are devoid of Emotional Feeling – Believers Digest
Dear Brother and Sister in the Lord, it’s crucial to understand that marriage is a “bond,” not a “bondage.” The issue of emotional feelings in marital relationships is non-negotiable. Marriage is not a conscription; it is a consensus. You need to be not only married but happily married.
In my ministry, where I’ve encountered various marital affairs, I’ve been privileged by God to glean insights into handling what may seem like a marital conundrum. Based on the counsel of God’s Word and the intricacies of marriage, I humbly share that if someone gives you the impression they lack marital feelings for you, it’s wise to let it go – it’s not worth the struggle.
Don’t sacrifice yourself for someone who doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. It might be painful, but remember that marital choice isn’t solely based on loving someone; it’s about being loved in return. Sentiments won’t solve the matter; it’s a mutual thing for a relationship to thrive.
Blaming others for not having feelings for you is futile; people have the right to make their decisions. There’s someone out there ready to lavish all the love and affection your soul yearns for. Building discernment through friendship and platonic relationships is crucial. Train yourself to read the signs.
Emotional feelings are vital in choosing a life partner. You want to spend your life with someone you love and who loves you back. In the biblical account of Adam and Eve, God didn’t impose Eve on Adam; he brought her, and when Adam saw her, he was satisfied.
Dr. Lester Sumrall, a renowned faith veteran, emphasized emotional attraction for prospective couples. When registering marital interests, questions along the lines of conviction, affection, and attraction are crucial. It’s better to suspend a relationship if emotional investment is lacking.
Divine leading in relationships is a separate topic, but the truth is, if the other person doesn’t have feelings for you, that’s a red flag. Caution is essential – never give the impression of having marital feelings if it’s not there. Clear communication is key to avoiding misconceptions.
If you find yourself on the receiving end, forgive and move on. Don’t harbor offenses, as it can affect your future marital settlement. Your worth is immeasurable, and there’s someone out there thanking God they didn’t miss you.

Never risk entering marriage with someone who isn’t attracted to you or lacks feelings for you – you can’t afford to be separated though married. Remember, it’s better to be careful than sorry.
I hope this message resonates well with all readers. Shalom!
