When you’re in love, it can be easy to overlook warning signs. Emotions are strong, wedding plans may already be underway, and friends and family may be excited about the relationship. But ignoring wisdom before marriage can lead to years—even decades—of heartache afterward.

God’s Word gives us principles that can help us make wise choices, and sometimes that means being willing to slow down, seek counsel, and take an honest look at the person we’re considering marrying.

So, what are some premarital red flags we shouldn’t ignore? What behaviors should cause us to put the brakes on a relationship? And is there one issue that, for a believer, should be more than a red flag—a biblical deal breaker?

Even if you’re already married, these are important truths to understand when counseling your children, grandchildren, or others about dating and marriage.

Also, we’ll look at what Ecclesiastes says about delayed justice, what it really means to “eat, drink, and be merry,” the value of wisdom even when people refuse to listen to it, and some important questions to ask before exercising our freedoms in Christ.
