Dating & Marriage: How I Discerned God’s Best (4 Steps to Trust God While Dating)I share how a friend’s question after a breakup—“Was she God’s best for you?”—completely changed the way I think about dating and discernment. As a Christian marriage coach and pastor who’s been married nearly 39 years, I explain that the purpose of dating isn’t just falling in love, but evaluating whether this is the person you could faithfully marry for life, because problems in dating often follow you into marriage. I teach that asking “Is this God’s best?” should come from faith, surrender, and listening to the Holy Spirit, peace (or a lack of peace), and confirmation from wise believers. I give four practical steps: slow down momentum, surrender before you ask, ask God directly and expect Him to speak, and look for spiritual fruit while inviting wisdom early. If you’re married, I show how to apply this question to how you treat and communicate with your spouse.00:00 Heartbreak And One Question00:40 Dating With God’s Best01:59 Purpose Of Dating03:20 Faith Not Fear04:33 My Dating Pattern05:49 Slow Down Momentum06:54 Surrender Before Asking08:12 Expect God To Speak09:27 Look For Fruit12:08 If You’re Married13:06 Recap And Next Steps13:43 Coaching Offer And OutroHere'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.
