Dating is Understudying

Kings and Queens, in a dating relationship, it’s important to pay attention to knowing and understanding the person you’re with. Take the time to see if their character, values, and lifestyle are things you would want for your future family. Amos 3:3 says, "Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?" The person you date today could influence the life and future of your unborn children, so make sure you’re building something that aligns with the vision you have for your family.

At the same time, keep discovering yourself. As you grow in understanding your identity, purpose, and assignment, you will be better equipped to date someone who matches your values and direction in life. Proverbs 4:7 says, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." When you know who you are and where God is leading you, it becomes easier to recognize the right kind of person who complements that journey.

Be intentional about the path you’re on in dating and relationships. Don’t rush or let pressure from others drive your choices—let God guide you. Psalm 32:8 reminds us, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." Stay committed to building a relationship based on mutual understanding, love, and respect, rather than fleeting emotions.

Remember, marriage is a journey, not just a destination, so prepare for it with care. Walk closely with God as He helps you make the right decisions along the way. As Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." With intentionality and wisdom, you’ll be positioned for a relationship that honors God and brings lasting joy.

Your Life, Relationships, and Resources Belong to God

Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s about recognizing that everything you are and everything you have belongs to God. Your life, time, relationships, and even your emotions are divine trusts, not personal possessions. Psalm 24:1 reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” When you understand this truth as a youth, it changes how you make choices, treat people, and handle opportunities. In dating and relationships, stewardship means honoring God with your heart and choices. You don’t date to fill loneliness; you date to reflect purpose. Your emotions should be guided by wisdom, not impulse. When you see your partner as someone God trusts you to treat with dignity, purity, and patience, your approach changes. You begin to love responsibly and communicate with respect, knowing you’ll give an account for how you handle another person’s heart. For singles, stewardship includes how you use your time and gifts while waiting. Every ...

HOW TO UNDERSTAND SEXUAL VALUES

Sexual value in a relationship is the discipline and purity you uphold concerning your body and desires. What is sexual value? It is the standard you place on how you honor God with your sexuality. Why is this important? Because sex is not just a physical act; it is a spiritual covenant designed for marriage. Who should care about sexual values? Both singles and those dating, because disregarding God’s design in this area can leave scars, regrets, and unnecessary baggage. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 reminds us, “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.” How do you build sexual value? By setting boundaries, avoiding compromising environments, and renewing your mind with God’s Word. When do you start? Now, not when you are engaged or married, because self-control is practiced long before the wedding day. Where does this apply? In how you relate with the opposite sex, the conversations you entertain, the media you consume, and the spaces you allow y...

HOW TO UNDERSTAND PHYSICAL VALUES

Physical value in a relationship goes beyond appearance; it speaks of health, care, presentation, and discipline. What you invest in your body reflects how you value yourself and the person you are with. Why should this matter? Because your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Neglecting your physical well-being shows a lack of regard not just for yourself but for the one who will share life with you. Think about it—if you do not take care of yourself, how will you have the strength, energy, and confidence to walk through life with someone else? How you maintain physical value is through consistent healthy habits—eating well, exercising, grooming, and dressing with respect. Who should this concern? Both men and women. The lie many believe is that only women should look attractive or men should only focus on money, but both genders have a responsibility to maintain physical value. When do you start? Not when you finally meet the person you want to marry but now...
