Have you ever wondered if your dating standards are too high?

In this episode, we’re breaking down the critical difference between preferences and standards, and how understanding this distinction can transform your dating life.

Many Christians find themselves stuck, unsure if their preferences are holding them back from the relationship God has for them. This conversation offers clarity on how to navigate these feelings, while examining what truly matters in a lasting, God-centered relationship.

We dive into the common struggle of opposites attracting and then clashing, and explore how to redefine the "list" of qualities you've made for a partner. If you've ever questioned whether a relationship is missing something or felt frustrated with God's timing, this episode will help you reassess your approach and better align your relationship goals with His plan. You’ll gain fresh insights on what constitutes a nonnegotiable standard versus a negotiable preference, while also learning to trust God's timing in the process.

Whether you’re currently dating or preparing for a future relationship, this conversation offers practical advice to help you find balance between maintaining your standards and being flexible with your preferences. Tune in to discover how to reevaluate your “list” and gain clarity on what really matters when it comes to your dating life.
