In this episode of Hearts Aligned, my husband and I dive deep into the difference between dating and courting. In today’s world, dating is often casual, filled with emotions, and sometimes lacks clear intentions. But what does God say about relationships? We’ll explore how courting takes a more intentional, God-centered approach and why it protects both your heart and your purpose.
With scriptures like 2 Corinthians 6:14 (“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers”) and Proverbs 4:23 (“Above all else, guard your heart”), we’ll unpack the importance of choosing a partner wisely, setting boundaries, and waiting on God’s timing. We’ll also discuss the dangers of awakening love too soon (Song of Solomon 2:7) and how to pursue a relationship that honors God.
Whether you’re single, dating, or considering courting, this episode will challenge you to evaluate your approach to relationships and seek God’s will above all else. Don’t miss this deep, real, and eye-opening conversation!
