To this end Scripture stresses three perspectives which are important in mind.
The Call to Optimism
...
The Call to Responsibility
...
When bathed in prayer and a desire to honor him , they are a vital part of what walking in faith involves .
The Call to Accountability
Which brings us to the third perspective which is vital in seeking marriage.
(quoted from Should I Get Married?, by M. Blaine Smith)

The three perspectives are the call to optimism, the call to responsibility, and the call to accountability.
