Hey BEAT family! If you are single, dating, engaged or even married, this is a very important video. As a matter of fact, this entire series is important. If you know someone who is currently dating and is a Christian, please share this video with them. We have bad marriages because we have bad dating practices. Jennifer and I are on a mission to help as many couples as possible date better so we can have better marriages. I hope you enjoy this 3-part series! P.S. Don't forget to sign up for upcoming 3-day challenge next week at biblechallenge2023.com. Enjoy!

I love this!!! Ya'll are too cute! I always binge these longer videos when I'm off from work or on weekends. As a divorced woman, I honestly didn't think I 'needed' to watch these videos, but I realize that there are lots of young ppl around me that this can benefit. I don't even have the most remote intention to date after coming out of an almost 20-year marriage that was definitely NOT healthy but I still rejoice in watching cute Christian couples happy & honoring God together. 💓

The ministry partner part is very important. I was pursued by a Pastor who had a calling to build a church and school in a third world country. That is very admirable. I was so grateful that he explained that early on, because I knew right then that I wasn't his wife because that was not my calling at all. Today he is married to someone else and has successfully founded his ministry, while I am the wife and helper of someone who had a different purpose.

I’ll be honest..for most of my relationships, chemistry was the most important thing! If we didn’t have that fizzle/sizzle, I didn’t want it! But now that I’m a little older, I realize it’s a bit overrated. Yea, attraction is important but godly character is more important.

I needed this word today! For I haven’t been too honest with myself and had a chance to sit down and actually, actively think about, and listen to what marriage and dating in Gods eyes is really like. How could I? I mean, here we got people saying things like “dating is a lie from Satan to get us to fall into temptation because God will bring you a wife” and “you just gotta wait on God” and “don’t worry you’re still a young man and I met my wife at 35 you have a whole life to go yet” and “why don’t you just enjoy being single? Your life will be much easier once you realize that, and then Boom! God will present an opportunity for you to get a wife.” SMH🤦

@blah blahblah Congratulations! Got there ahead of me.🤭 Yah bless your marriage, and bring satisfaction to both of you. Maybe teach us single folk a thing or two about the process. It’s an interesting subject, in my opinion. I’m just not ready to act on my feelings, because, I know that I’m not in the right position that I had envisioned myself in to start this relationship with that woman somewhere. Nor does it help, that just a few days before this video came out I had a dream that I was married to someone that I know, and went to high school with, shared meals and had discussions about the Bible with her, debated with her, she shows at my church youth bible class out of nowhere even though I didn’t invite her, I was “dating” another girl while all this was going on…. Geez Louise. I’m a mess of emotions right now. I don’t know what to feel about this. Plus, our church preaches a lot about the rapture and goes deep into the Book of Revelation so much that it has me thinking I don’t have the time necessary to build that type of relationship with a fellow person like… her. I consulted with a close mentor of mine who divulged to me that the girl in question was not exactly in the right spot either to take on a relationship, as she may even be having struggles on her walk with God. And I’m not one to place burdens upon people for the sake of something that may not even happen. I could’ve punched myself for sending that message to my mentor about the dream when I really didn’t sit down to think things through realistically, logically, spiritually? Yeah, I’m waaaay off track here.🤧 But hey, at least you found yours. 👏🏻

I’m gonna comment throughout this video lol This happened with me and my fiancé! We had become really good friends and sought the Lord on if we would pursue a relationship. After getting a yes, we started dating. 3 months into dating, I was strongly considering moving to California to missions. I felt a strong call for missions and I thought NOW was the time to do it. At first, he was like “well, I’ll always love you and we can always be friends”. Then after seeing 2 of my friends seriously dating long distance with the guy doing missions he came back to me and said “if they can do it, we can do it.” Long story short, in the season prior to me making my decision about leaving God revealed to me though much prayer that He wanted me to do modern day missions (which is keep my 9 to 5 and also go on mission trips, etc. instead of full time missions, at least for this season. So yeah, we’re still together lol in the same place, 28 mins apart lol

Now I know what works in Christian dating. I must say though it is a challenge these days and time to find a person who is equally yoke. I run into men who claim to be a Christian but 3 months in their true intentions shows. I find myself having feelings for them and having to make a decision to stay or leave with a broken heart and frustration. It's happen so many times that I now bluntly tell them at the beginning I'm Christian, I'm celibate until marriage and then I never hear from them again. I try to look at it as a good thing but it's lonely out here for a Christian woman!

@cordovanhobbyist895 Жыл бұрын

I'm 25 years old, and I haven't dated yet. Not even a first date, school dance, nor any type of romantic physical affection. I'm hesitant because I believe I need to mature in finances & in self-respect - cause I struggle a lot with liking myself as a person. On the contrary, literally a lot of people have told me that I should've dated a long time ago. Some of their reasons included: 1) Need to develop dating experience 2) Need to simply have a girlfriend 3) Help you understand your "needs" versus the "wants"

@luigi-dr9nu Жыл бұрын

The only thing I would say is to not fall for the trap of having to have everything together and then dating. Not to say we shouldn’t be mature first, but we will never have our lives completely figured out, single or married. Many of my Christian friends want to basically be perfect before they date and I’m like…not gonna happen lol Other than that, good for you and I hope you figure out what you need to do!

Don't listen to the "you have to have a girlfriend" comments, you're doing fine. You can go to a singles mixer with a trusted friend if you want to get the experience of simply talking to potential partners, but don't let anyone pressure you. I waited to date so I could focus on figuring out myself, enjoy my career time (because I knew eventually I wanted to be a SAHM for at least part of my future child's life). It really helps to build self confidence. Knowing that I could be happy with myself even if I never found a partner. I met my husband when I was 26. His friends pushed him into a hook up because he wasn't dating either. He didn't like that relationship. He met me 3 months later. 8 years later we are still going strong. Good luck in your journey.

@alexika9981 Жыл бұрын

24 year old guy here and in a very similar situation. No to be offensive but it’s differently perceived as a guy not having dated anyone versus a girl, so a women’s testimony and motivation is inherently different. I think as a man you have saved yourself from a lot of crap knowing that you weren’t not in the right mindset until now. However, I don’t care what anyone says about what stage you are in etc, as a guy if you are not dealing with a traumatic experience like a recent breakup or other trauma then I don’t see a problem with dating occasionally when you have time. I would pray for my future wife and for her protection and growth. That may also transform you to want to be ready when you see her.

My experience, dating has only jaded me and caused me needing more healing from my Lord. I regret it all.

This is awesome and really helpful! One thing that stuck out to me is putting character over chemistry. I’ve never done that. I will now. The dating scene is sooooo hard now a days but I won’t give up. I know God has a God fearing man for me somewhere out there 🙌🏾

I wish the church I attend offered things like that for singles in the church. I totally agree with what Jennifer said about men knowing within 6months. I definitely enjoyed this video.

This is absolutely beautiful and brings much understanding and necessity in how to go about establishing a relationship with your potential spouse! You both are so beautiful because of the light of Christ that exudes forth from your lives - and you both are just beautiful period! 😃. Grace and peace to you both and thank you for sharing your story. Looking forward to the next "installment" 😁🤗

Thank you. I dated a guy who wanted a straight marriage before letting him to know him. I asked him to come to my city. He asked to spend a night with me at the hotel for 4 days. I denied it he said the rejection of the first offer was rejecting him because we would do everything quickly in the boundary of marriage. He then said lets stop dating because I dint want to spent a night with him at the hotel. Now I am glad I listened to you. I see true signs of love.

I love every bit of this! Wow, what a blessing. It’s encouraging that there are other followers of Jesus who have the same Christ-like mindset and want to do it God’s way. This gives me hope🙏🏾
