Rule #1: Dating is not a hobby. It is an interview for the job of spouse/parent. If you aren't ready to marry, you aren't ready to date.
"Hanging Out" vs Courtship
- Hanging Out: Ambiguous. No clear intention. Emotional entanglement without commitment.
- Courtship: Intentional. "I am interested in seeing if God is calling us to marriage."
The 3 Questions
- Do we share the same faith? (Yoke yourself equally).
- Can I see this person raising my children?
- Do they make me want to be a saint?
Don't settle. Pray for your future spouse on the MyPrayerTower app.
