Hey Guys! Hope you're staying home and staying safe! We're praying for you. Until we can get back to recording regularly, enjoy this popular episode from season 2 :)

In today's episode, we've got a list for you going into 10 ways to tell if the guy you're dating, or thinking about dating, is a keeper. Everything from does he make you laugh to does he point you to Jesus... 

Hey Guys! Our recording schedule got all out whack due to the self-quarantining we're all under right now, so we will be re-releasing some popular episodes from the archive over the next couple of weeks! We will also be doing CouchCast LIVE on Instagram on Friday so head over there and follow us @lftm_podcast if you don't already and send us your question now! Ok, on to today's episode...

We all have a 'type', those types are all different, and that's ok! But, there are some things that should be consistent in a man you to look date, regardless of what your 'type' is.... most important being that he is following Jesus. Today we're looking at what practical characteristics should be present in a man who is truly seeking Christ and how you can spot them!

In today's episode we're talking about things we both look out for on 1st dates as possible red flags... we talk about some pre and post date red flags too as well as a few 'yellow' flags too. 

Today, we're wrapping up our "What's the Point of Dating?" series. We've talked about marriage, sanctification, fun, investigation, and now selflessness. A great relationship is set up for success when there are two people trying to out do each other in service. Listen today as we take a deeper look at what this really means.

This was a doozy of a listener question! "What do you do when the church seems to view singles as second class Christians while married couples are given so much elevation and importance?" We get fired up about this one!

We're at the halfway point of our "What's the Point of Dating?" series and today we're talking about investigation. The dating stage is a unique time you have to investigate this person you're in a relationship with and get to know their habits and patterns and everything else you would want to know before taking the next step to marriage. We're here to guide some of that investigation with a couple of things we think are really important to find out during this process!

This was a great listener question! She asked "How do you navigate finding a community at a church when the small group options are either college students or married couples?". Good news is, you've got options here! Bad news, some might require you getting out of your comfort zone! That's where our discussion focuses today.

Short, sweet, and to the point today!! We're talking about fun! Fun gets lost a lot of times in Christian dating. You feel so much pressure to focus on spiritual things and making sure there is compatibility there that you forget to make sure you have fun together. We offer some ways to balance that early on in a relationship as well as some practical dating strategies for incorporating fun into your relationship for the long haul!

We've all been there... you're either talking to someone or newly dating and you're not sure if the texting patterns are normal or not. Are you being too needy? Is he just a bad texter? So many questions and so few answers haha... we're tackling this fun issue today!

This is part 2 in our What's the Point of Dating series. Today we're talking about sanctification and how that is a big part of God's design for dating and eventually marriage. We're honing on one huge aspect of this too... community. God created us for community and that takes on many different forms in your life, both pre-dating and after you're in a relationship.
