Episode notes
Careful with Spiritual Intimacy
- Avoid praying too intimately or deeply too early in dating, as it can lead to crossing physical boundaries.
- Pray with awareness to keep thoughts pure and guard against emotional oversharing too soon.
Origins of Spiritual Boundaries
- The concept of "spiritual boundaries" in dating grew out of physical boundaries advocacy but is sometimes misunderstood.
- Many only learned physical boundaries as "don't have sex," with little guidance on emotional or spiritual limits.
Guard Against Premature Attachment
- Emotional and spiritual boundaries often come with the risk of prematurely progressing a relationship in your mind.
- Guarding the heart prevents imagining marriage too soon and avoids emotional pitfalls.
