Intentional Dating For Marriage
- Dating should be intentional with the objective of marriage, not casual or indefinite.
- If you don’t see a future marrying someone, it’s wise to end the relationship early.
"The One" Is a Cultural Idea
- The idea of "the one" creates crippling pressure and indecisiveness in dating.
- Spouses become "the one" because of the marriage commitment, not prior fate.
Look For Genuine Love of Christ
- Determine if a potential spouse truly loves the Lord, as genuine faith manifests in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.
- Look beyond self-identification to observable, consistent actions that reflect Christlike character.
