Dating Feels Like a Minefield? How to Trust God’s Best and Find Peace Before MarriageChristian marriage coach Kelly DuPee explains why he’s teaching on dating: who you marry strongly affects the health of your marriage, so dating requires wisdom and discernment to trust God’s best. He shares how a painful breakup and a friend’s question—“Was she God’s best for you?”—led another friend to challenge him to fast from dating for a year so God could heal his heart. During that season he surrendered fear and pressure, built friendships and community, learned contentment in singleness (Luke 9:23; Philippians 4:11–13), and gained confidence rooted in trusting God rather than relationships. He offers four steps: ask God to heal your heart, surrender your timeline, build friendships through church and small groups, and practice contentment. He also briefly addresses married couples, offering practical advice, a free communication guide, and coaching, and previews the next episode.00:00 Dating Minefield Intro00:36 Why Dating Matters01:58 My Breakup Filter02:35 One Year Dating Fast05:22 Fear And Pressure07:02 Community And Contentment09:14 Four Practical Steps12:18 Word For Married Couples14:12 Final Encouragement Next VideoHere's the link to download my free couples communication guide: https://www.turnitup.coach/communicationguideI'm also offering a free 30-minute strategy call for personalized help.
