ADVICE

Treat Dating Like An Interview

  • Do treat dating as an interview to quickly and effectively determine if someone would make a suitable spouse.
  • Stop investing time in people who display unfaithful conduct during dating because that signals they lack necessary character for marriage.
INSIGHT

Marriage Is A Covenant, Not A Contract

  • See marriage as a covenant, not a contract, meaning promises persist regardless of performance.
  • Covenant vows call for pursuit and love even when the other person fails, so responses to adultery differ from casual dating breakups.
ANECDOTE

Host's Confession Shapes Counsel

  • Jonathan admits he was unfaithful while dating Monica and says both were not following Jesus.
  • He uses his failure to explain why dating wisely matters and to offer grace alongside counsel.
