Latter-day Saint Life

Why I Wish People Would Stop Saying 'I Prayed About it, and You're Not the One'

“I don’t think we should date anymore, because I prayed about it and you’re just not right for me”

This is a phrase that is used countless times throughout the year by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout the world and in my opinion is one that needs to be used less frequently. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely believe it to be ok and in fact something we all need to do when we are in a serious relationship and wanting to find confirmation as to whether or not we should marry an individual.

However, one thing we shouldn’t do is use God as a cop out as to why we don’t want to go on a date with someone or when we are just not interested in someone any longer. Here’s the problem.
