Father...thank you for this beautiful prayer request from this man. Artie has come asking that you lead this woman to answers from you! Father...lead this man and this woman to discuss things of Spirit at this point in their relationship. Let them pray in their individual prayer closets for your will in their lives. Let them put all of the hurts of the past before you at this critical time in this relationship to allow you to heal them...that they not move forward with unresolved concerns that would compromise a Godly union. Let them pray together also for one another in their private prayer closets... to continue to grow in discernment and in Agape love for one another. Let them leave EROS love in your hands for now and concentrate on your Spiritual concerns for their lives which will allow EROs love to be experienced within the safety of your commands. In Your word Father, you clearly give us the model for we who are Christians to date. Those three phases are:

Spiritual-to become of one accord spiritually.

Mental/Emotional-to become one in the way that we perceive our objectives and agree or how we will interact with each other emotionally.

Marriage-to become one Physically.

Let this couple Father...with the wisdom of the years you have given them follow your order. To compromise any of these steps as your word proclaims will bring problems in communication and in the harmony of the relationship in the future. Thank you that they want to follow your direction...Lead them and guide them through the process, that their union may be fully blessed by YOU! In Jesus name...Amen!
