Bible Answer: Hello scapoferri, Welcome to the Forum. "is there a verse or something..." There are probably a lot of somethings that you might conjure up to dissuade your cousin but your not going to find it in a verse. Actually, I believe if you study God's word you will find just the opposite. The Scriptures teach, in fact, that it is God's intention that there be just one guy for her; and for a believer seeking God's will, that one will be a "gift" from God. Proverbs 19:14 (NASB95) 19:14 House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD. You might start with Genesis chapter 2, then chapter 24, then chapter 28. There is much more said in Scripture that should help to correct your thinking in this area, but these chapters are good illustrations of God having a specific person planned for a specific person. For your cousin, the the guy she's "in love" with, might not be the one, but I can't imagine that being your call based on her age alone. I'm curious though. Why would you want to teach a young adult that there is no such thing as "one true love"? Where does your belief come from that there is not "one guy made for her"? Finally, I might add, that if your are concerned about your cousin (and it sounds like you are) wouldn't church be the first place you would hope she would meet someone she might spend the rest of her life with? Hope this is helpful, Jeff |
