Happy & Healthy with Jeanine Amapola

Things To Know in Dating BEFORE You Get Engaged


Listen Later

Y’all… this episode was a spicy one 😅 Kaleb and I went IN on red and green flags in relationships—whether you're just starting out, deep into dating, or already engaged. We talked about the things we both overlooked, what churches sometimes miss when it comes to dating advice, and what actually matters when you’re deciding if someone is marriage material. It’s a fun, honest, and slightly chaotic convo, but it’s SO needed! We hope this episode helps you make better decisions, seek wisdom, and get that godly discernment before walking down the aisle! 🙏🏻❤️


👀 P.S. If you’re dating someone, send them this episode and say, “Thoughts?” 😏 💌 And don’t forget to DM me your thoughts—y’all know I love hearing your stories!
