Advice needed please

So I've been thinking. I believe people can really change, but how do we tell that they have? And is it up to us? I have a friend that has come back into my life after a few months of not speaking to me, and she's with the same boyfriend who kicked her front door down and held her against her will. But she says he's going to counseling now and that he really has done some growing up. But I have a very uneasy feeling about it. How do you know that he really has pure motives, and that he's not really trying to control her like he has the last 25 women who have reported public disturbances on him. Also, she seems to want to change and slowly start coming to church, though she can't commit to every weekend. What do I do? I'm not very good at these kind of things because I trust too easily, or I become too judgemental...a little help with what I should do, please? She's asking for my advice, and asking how you can tell if a person has really changed. And how do you?

Also, if a relationship starts out bad and unpleasing to God, is it possible to turn it around to a relationship that glorifies God, or do the two need to find separate people to help them glorify God? They have dated off and on for 2 years, but have never married.

...a little behind...

okay,  so first of all i would like to apologize for not contributing to this blog much....er...at all.  i'm going to go back and read through the posts and try and comment on most.  not that anything i have to say is particularly important, i just want you to know i have read your post and value your insight.

    i have always had an issue with writing/journaling.  i hate it. (why is it every time i say "hate" i hear my mom say "hate is a very strong word". )  strike my previous statement.  i strongly dislike it.  there is something very vulnerable about your words being in print.  (shrug)
