What does it mean when a man says future love is “God’s business”?

[dertiyuh]

What is a man thinking when he answers 'It's God's business, it's unknown, I don't know' to the question 'If we happen to break up one day, would you love someone else again?' Is he being honest, or is he someone to stay away from?
​If he said, 'If we break up, it must be for a major reason. We wouldn't break up over small things,' and then added, 'If something like that happens and we break up, I don't know, it's God's business'?

My aim on GAG is to decode confusing love signals so your heart doesn’t get played with 😏

He’s actually being pretty honest. He’s saying: “I can’t predict the future, but I take this seriously.” That “it’s God’s business” line means he isn’t lovebombing you with fake forever promises.

Not a red flag by itself. It’s mature, just not fairy-tale romantic.

I honestly wouldn't take that answer as a red flag by itself. To me, he’s basically saying, “I can't predict the future, and I don't want to pretend I can.”

The fact that he said you'd only break up over something serious also makes it sound like he takes the relationship seriously. He isn't saying he wants someone else; he's saying he doesn't know what life would look like if the relationship ever ended.

Sometimes “I don't know” is actually the more honest answer. I’d judge him more by how he treats you now than by what he might feel in a hypothetical future.

Just means he believes that God will choose what happens and not him. He's actually being very respectful of his religious beliefs. He must be very thoughtful and devout.

I'd just take it as the spiritual or religious equivalent of the saying: "Whatever happens, happens"

A typical cop-out that Christians are so good at.

Don't worry about doosday scenarios like this. Focus on trying to make it work. If it doesn't, who cares what he does after?

He intends to move on quickly and claim God wanted him to so he doesn't feel bad
