Have you ever wondered why divorce rates among Christians mirror those of the secular world? Join me as I share personal insights and experiences, grappling with the importance of authenticity and integrity in our relationships. We'll explore how understanding your identity in God and finding a partner aligned with your divine purpose is crucial for a lifelong commitment that supports your mission. Aligning personal intentions with spiritual guidance isn't just a good idea—it's essential. Let's talk about the importance of asking God if it's the right time to date, and the need for personal preparation—emotionally, financially, and spiritually—before seeking a partner. Too often, there's a misconception that a spouse should "fix" our issues.
