"Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say. Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your best strength to others and your years to one who is cruel..." proverbs 5:7-9.
My reflection from this is not directly linked to this passage but they are thoughts sparked off from this passage.
For me, it is applicable because I usually give 100% in my relationships and when they don't work out, I feel that a part of me is gone because I had given so much. But for me, i guess they are nice people and both parties did grow and benefit from the relationship (not evil like the one in the bible passage). But truth is, I do feel exhausted and am not sure if I had waited and chosen wisely that the time I could use when I was in the relationship could be used better for God's purposes. So it's a good reminder to really not just settle and make do lest "the best years of our lives are given to something/someone" that has no eternal value.
