10 Steps to Knowing A Person You Date

10. How do they spend their time?
9. What are their friends like? (you imitate whom you associate)
8. How do they spend their money? (for where your treasure is, there is your heart also)
7. How do they resolve conflict? (vengeance served cold is to be avoided)
6. How do they handle offense?
5. What do they do when embarrassed?
4. How do they treat other people? (especially family)
3. What part does the Bible play in their decision making?
2. How do they handle being wrong?
1. Are they forgiving? (no score keepers)

Ok, seriously, where was this list for me like five years ago? Provided I had ears to hear, this would have saved me a ton of emotional anguish... Better believe I've tattooed this into my brain!!! ; )
