Seeking Divine Intervention

In situations where someone believes it is God's will for a romantic relationship, the first step is to seek divine intervention through prayer. The individual should approach God, asking for guidance and protection in their dealings with the other person.

This reliance on prayer allows for a spiritual grounding that encourages a peaceful resolution while affirming one's own beliefs and boundaries.
