The Synchrony Podcast

When a relationship begins, it can be hard to know if the pacing is 'normal,' or 'healthy,' especially since non-Christian relationships seem to last forever before progressing to the next milestone. In this episode, Megan and Steven talk about speed in dating timelines, and when it can be safe vs. when it's likely to create a dangerous breakdown.

Synchrony is at a crossroads, and in part one of this two-part episode, Megan and Steven explain the history of how the project came to be in this unique moment. Strangely, the history starts three generations ago.

One question that we regularly hear from new clients is "How long will it take?" The answer, like most things with matchmaking, is a bit complicated, but in this episode Megan and Steven dive into the data from 12 "success story" couples to illustrate how quickly (or, how not so quickly) you can expect to meet someone when you join the pipeline.

Is the internet poisoning your ability to find real connection? If you're using Facebook, dating apps, or other online platforms to search for a spouse, you may be falling prey to one of the most deadly dating diseases plaguing Apostolic dating culture. The antidote? Grace--given liberally, repeatedly, unequivocally. In this episode, Megan and Steven unpack some of the ways social media is eroding our ability to create a healthy dating culture, and how we can fix it. 

P.S.-- Megan knows that she was wrong about that scripture reference; it's 2:Thessalonians 2:11. :)

Gentlemen, if you've ever questioned what women actually care about in a dating partner, this is the episode to tune in. We've surveyed and interviewed 500+ Apostolic women at all ages and stages of life, and there are some things that almost all of them say that they are looking for in a partner. Spoiler: it's probably not the things you think they care about. 

In this episode, Megan and Steven return from a short hiatus with a pile of qualitative research data about the things women say matter to them in their relationships, with a lot of lighthearted stories and one or two healthy arguments sprinkled in. We've missed you guys!

One of the heartbeats of The Synchrony Project is to transform Apostolic Dating Culture so that our kids, and other young children, have a fighting chance at truly Apostolic mate selection. In this episode, Megan and Steven dive into how they're beginning to talk about dating with their children (ages 4 and 6) and what their hopes are for each of them when they step into their dating season in the future.

You keep approaching people who seem like reasonable matches for you--you're both bringing the same number of attractive attributes to the table. But even so, you're struggling to meet someone who feels that both of you are 'equally matched.' In this episode, Megan and Steven rely on a metaphor of the dating marketplace to illustrate why men and women are talking past each other about what they're looking for and what they're bringing to the proverbial table.
