You can be deeply in love with someone and still be completely misaligned. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the fifth step of the PREPARE for Love Series framework: Alignment of Faith, Values, and Calling.

Because let’s be real—chemistry can’t carry a marriage. If your spiritual foundation, core values, and life direction don’t line up, love alone won’t be enough to hold you together.

In this episode, we’re talking biblical truth, real-life lessons, and how to fix your “picker” by learning to recognize true alignment.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why 2 Corinthians 6:14 and Amos 3:3 matter deeply in dating
• The biggest mistake Christian women make when assessing compatibility
• The 3 alignment pillars you MUST check before moving forward

1. Faith – Is Jesus truly Lord of his life?

2. Values – Do we agree on core life choices (family, money, roles)?

3. Calling—Are we moving in the same direction spiritually and practically

• How to stop relying on chemistry and start choosing with wisdom
• How alignment brings peace—and misalignment creates tension.

✅ Checkpoint Challenge (Your Weekly Action Step):

Ask God in prayer:

“Would this person help me walk more closely with Christ and pursue the calling on my life?”

Write down what God reveals. And if you’re unsure, bring it to a mentor or spiritual friend for counsel. Clarity comes when you invite wise voices and God’s truth into the process.
