This will help to improve your spiritual in yourself as well as your relationship to God and to your soon to be partner in life.
I hope you will learn a lesson here.
10. PEA is a
neurotransmitter
released in the region
of our brains known as
the limbic system that
speeds up the flow of
information between
nerve cells.
11. The limbic system
controls our basic
needs, emotions,
and desires such as
hunger, thirst,
sleep, joy, sadness,
and sex.
12. It is the most primal
and animalistic part of
our psyche. When
that part of our brain
kicks in, it is usually
futile to disregard its
directions.
13. “Falling in love involves
phenylethylamine (PEA)
or the ‘love drug,’ which
gives us that euphoric
high when everything
feels so wonderful.
.
14. “Have you ever fallen in love and
had a friend or family member ask,
‘Are you blind?’ Well, yes, you
really are blind. And almost no one
could reason with you about the
relationship at that stage of the
game,
.
15. “PEA is what
. When we meet
someone to whom we are sexually
attracted, our bodies respond by
releasing these neurochemicals that
can leave us sputtering, incoherent,
and breathless.”
17. “Two persons become
acquainted; they are
infatuated with each
other, and their whole
attention is absorbed.
Reason is blinded, and
judgment is overthrown.
18. “They will not submit to any advice
or control, but insist on having their
own way, regardless of
consequences. Like some epidemic,
or contagion, that must run its
course is the infatuation that
possesses them; and there seems to
be no such thing as putting a stop to
it.”
21. “Assisted by Phenylethylamine (that
speeds up the flow of information
between cells), dopamine (that makes
us glow and feel good), and
norepinephrine (that stimulates the
production of adrenalin), make our
world go round, our eyes sparkle and
our heartbeats faster.
22. “Our entire existence then
depends on the sight of
the person who triggered
these reactions to begin
with, and as the addiction
to the chemical grows
stronger, our attraction
becomes greater.
23. “At this stage we commit
foolish mistakes which
are the stuff puppy love
stories are made of.
Actually it is these three
chemicals that combine
to give us what we call
infatuation.
24.
25.
26. “Love is a precious gift,
which we receive from
Jesus. Pure and holy
affection is not a feeling, but
a principle.
.
27. “True love is a high and
holy principle, altogether
different in character
from that love which is
awakened by impulse,
and which suddenly dies
when
severely tested.
28. “ . . . is not
unreasonable; it
.
. But the passion
of the natural heart is
another thing
altogether.
29. “While pure love will take God
into all its plans, and will be in
perfect harmony with the Spirit
of God, passion will be
headstrong, rash, unreasonable,
defiant of all restraint, and will
make the
object of its choice an idol.

34. And it came to pass,
as she spake to
Joseph day by day,
that he hearkened
not unto her, to lie
by her, or to be with
her.
35. There are some
ladies, that the only
way you can avoid
becoming
emotionally
involved with them,
is to .
36. There are some
men, that the only
way you can avoid

37. If Joseph had
entered into free,
aimless,
conversation with
Potiphar’s wife,
friendly trifling talk,
he would have
yielded to her
seduction.
38.
39. “This temptation, so
sudden, so strong, so
seductive–how
should it be met?
Joseph knew well
what would be the
consequence of
resistance.
Patriarchs and Prophets,
p. 217
41. “His whole future life
depended upon the
decision of the moment.
Would principle triumph?
Would Joseph still be true to
God? With inexpressible
anxiety, angels looked upon
the scene.”
Patriarchs and Prophets,
p. 217
42. Adventist Home, p. 333
“Women are too often tempters.
On one pretense or another they
engage the attention of men,
married or unmarried, and lead
them on till they transgress the
law of God, till their usefulness is
ruined, and their souls are in
jeopardy.”
43. “Young ladies – if you are controlled by your
hormones / if your “mission” in life is to get
married – you WILL NOT have a happy
marriage.
If you are controlled by principle / if
your “mission” in life is to serve God – He
will bring you to the man that can truly
make you happy in marriage (if God wants
you to be married)
44. “Young men – if you are controlled by your
hormones / if your “mission” in life is to get
married – you WILL NOT have a happy
marriage.
If you are controlled by principle / if
your “mission” in life is to serve God – He
will bring you to the woman that can truly
make you happy in marriage (if God wants
you to be married)
50. Our sisters should encourage true
meekness; they should not be forward,
talkative, and bold, but modest and
unassuming, slow to speak. They may
cherish courteousness. To be kind,
tender, pitiful, forgiving, and humble
would be becoming and well pleasing
to God
51. If they occupy this position, they
will not be burdened with undue
attention from gentlemen in the
church or out. All will feel that there
is a sacred circle of purity around
these God-fearing women which
shields them from any
unwarrantable liberties.

6. Avoid trifling of Heart.
Trifling With Hearts.--To trifle with hearts is a
crime of no small magnitude in the sight of a holy
God. And yet some will show preference for
young ladies and call out their affections, and
then go their way and forget all about the words
they have spoken and their effect. A new face
attracts them, and they repeat the same words,
devote to another the same attentions. {AH
57.1}
65. Physically, Samson was the strongest
man upon the earth; but in self-control,
integrity, and firmness, he was one of
the weakest of men. Many mistake
strong passions for a strong character,
but the truth is that he who is mastered
by passions is a weak man.
66. The real greatness of the man
is measured by the power of
the feelings that he controls,
not by those that control him.
69. 1) Avoid the lustful look
2) Guard your thoughts
3) Be reserved
4) Avoid evil associations
5) Avoid trifling of hearts
6) Hands off the opposite
sex

is free to choose what
power he will have to
rule over him.

me the path of life:
in Thy presence is
fulness of joy; at
Thy
right hand there are
pleasures for

If Joseph had not AVOIDED Potipher’s wife; if he had in ANY WAY flirted with her or enjoyed her attentions and advances, he would have fallen.

This was not done in public.
