To help you get real in dating, let time be your friend. Time will help you to see whether you and the other person are a fit, not just on the surface, but to the core. Join me on this episode as I wrap up on the topic “DATING WITH PURPOSE”.
Anchor scriptures: Ephesians 4:25, 1st Corinthians 6:18-20, Colossians 3:1-10, Ephesians 4:19 and Matthew 6:33.
TASK 1: During your next date, add a bit of honesty, that is, share something about yourself that makes you feel a bit vulnerable. Notice what fears it pulls to the surface, how the other person responds, and whether it moved your relationship forward. Then decide if you’ll do it again.
TASK 2: If you are currently living with someone, write down what you fear would happen if you decided to trust God’s protection and live separately. Begin praying for God to increase your faith as you consider walking in obedience.
TASK 3: Talk through each of the strategies above with your partner and decide which you will implement in your relationship.
TASK 4: 1. Rate your current level of confidence in your relationship on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest).
2. Rate your level of commitment.
3. If you have children, rate their level of openness to you getting married.
4. Now, rate how you think your dating partner would respond to each of the above.
