In this message, we pick up where we left off from the previous message. We address yet another tension in the dating conversation. The goal is to evaluate potential causes of these tensions, address them with Biblical principles, and then propose possible solutions. In this message, the tension we address is: ‘I want to know what essential standards I need to have for a significant other, but I hope I get more than just the essentials.’ Tensions like these may give us unreasonable expectations, a prideful attitude toward others, and may very well stall our ability to have fruitful relationships. Thankfully, God’s word provides the true essentials we can work from.
