nor Dear Single Ladies, In a world where a date can be set-up at the drive through pace of social media, we must use wisdom as a virtue and God’s word as our guide. A ship will be lost without a navigational system and if we are going out in the dating world, without God as our compass, then we too will end up lost. That is why walking in wisdom of His word, as women of the word is essential. Living our lives as Proverbs 31 women, lets us set the precedence of who we are in Christ, and…

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. – Ephesians 5:25 Of course, as a woman, it can be hard to understand a man’s perspective. A few men were open and willing to share their own views on what being a Christian man should look like, Christian dating, and what a Godly marriage should embody. They were each asked several questions, including: – What or who made them into the man they are today? – What they think classifies as “childish”? – How would they describe what being a true man of God looks…

I was flabbergasted and a little shook up. About four years ago, as I progressed through the book I Kissed Dating Goodbye, I was flabbergasted that couples existed who waited to kiss until their wedding day and shook up because, if God commanded this, then I had already blown my chance over a high school romance. Even still, something was not sitting right with me about this premise. So I went to my pastor. We sat in his office and talked for a solid hour about the purpose of this book and the thoughts it advocated on dating. I still…

Since the days of I Kissed Dating Goodbye, it’s become increasingly common for articles, books and sermons to provide us with tips and instructions on “how to date well” and “what Christian dating should look like.” But rarely do we discuss the real life details of what actually goes on in these relationships. From an outside perspective, it’s easy to assume that it’s all sunshine and rainbows when two people rooted in Jesus become one. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. After years of dating the wrong guys, I’m finally with a man who shares my morals, values…

A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. (Proverbs 22:3) As a survivor of domestic abuse, people often wonder why I (or other victims) stay in abusive relationships. All I can tell you, is there are as many reasons as there are stars in the sky. There is no simple answer. I am certain we all have stayed in a relationship longer than we should have at some point in our lives. Despite our partner being abusive, having drug or alcohol addiction’s, infidelities, or was simply not as committed as we…

When a woman gets to the stage where marriage seems to be the single most important thing in the universe, the doors of temptation fling wide open. Patience, grace, and feminine mystique are put to the ultimate test. But sisters, here’s one thing to remember; DO NOT approach a man when he is hungry or thirsty! My dad does not function very well when he is hungry. My brother, who everyone knows is super humorous and cheerful can be a tantrum-throwing baby and completely irrational when he’s hungry (maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit. But the point is, I have…

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” (Exodus 14:14) So that really handsome, God fearing man that you thought was going to be your husband just broke broke your heart. Depression is knocking at your door and you just want to sulk in your own misery. Your family and close friends all just want to comfort you, but they hit you with those cliches that you just don’t want to hear. Some of them go something like this: “Oh girl, you deserve better.” “God has a better plan.” “He just wasn’t the one for you.” “God…

In a society where it always feels like “engagement season” or people are entering in new relationships, being alone is like a taboo. Nobody wants to be alone especially around the holidays. It’s the inevitable that you will get asked the questions “you’re not dating yet?” “When do you plan on settling down and getting married?” And so on and so forth. In my particular circle I am the last one standing. As a Christian woman I come to this battle within myself and I am sure other women can relate as well. On one hand I get that small…
