    Get to know her spiritually first. Does she love God? Is she compassionate to others? Is she faithful and loyal? Are you compatable in your faith and commitment to Jesus Christ? Does she compromise and/or justify herself? Hopefully this woman will be asking the same things about you.

    Get to know her emotionally and psychologically next. When does she want to have children? How many? What is her profession and/or professional goal(s)? Does she have any addictions? Etc, etc. Again, hopefully she will be asking the same about you.

    Attraction to the physical is the least stable aspect of a relationship; it won't support anything in a crisis. What higher honor can you give a woman than to refrain from sex until you've vowed your life to her in marriage. That is truly loving the real "her".

    Giving into to physical lust before knowing a woman spiritually and emotionally only cripples your ability to truly communicate and build something lasting together. A woman deserves much more than to be treated as an object of gratification. God created in her a beauty, intuition and rich love of life that will bless the man who would offer her a relationship sown in integrity and godly perspective.

    Scripture teaches to love her as Christ loved the church. That means being willing to give your life AND live your life for her. A woman will follow such a man to the ends of the earth.
