Every strong relationship has a foundation.

16
00:00:42,664 --> 00:00:43,405
For Christians,

17
00:00:43,865 --> 00:00:45,484
this foundation is God.

18
00:00:46,185 --> 00:00:48,024
By placing him at the center of your

19
00:00:48,024 --> 00:00:48,524
relationship,

20
00:00:49,145 --> 00:00:51,725
you nurture a bond based on shared beliefs,

21
00:00:52,050 --> 00:00:53,109
values, and trust.

22
00:00:53,729 --> 00:00:56,789
As Matthew twenty two thirty seven reminds us,

23
00:00:57,329 --> 00:00:59,329
love the Lord your God with all your

24
00:00:59,329 --> 00:00:59,829
heart.

25
00:01:01,010 --> 00:01:01,510
Two,

26
00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:04,150
open channels of honest communication.

27
00:01:05,494 --> 00:01:05,994
Transparency

28
00:01:06,295 --> 00:01:09,094
and open dialogue play pivotal roles in any

29
00:01:09,094 --> 00:01:09,594
relationship.

30
00:01:10,614 --> 00:01:13,354
By embracing Ephesians four twenty five,

31
00:01:13,814 --> 00:01:15,515
speak the truth with his neighbor,

32
00:01:15,894 --> 00:01:18,795
couples can cultivate trust and mutual understanding.

33
00:01:20,295 --> 00:01:20,795
Three,

34
00:01:21,549 --> 00:01:23,250
set and respect boundaries.

35
00:01:24,270 --> 00:01:27,710
Boundaries, both emotional and physical, are integral for

36
00:01:27,710 --> 00:01:29,170
maintaining mutual respect.

37
00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:33,150
Discuss your boundaries early on, ensuring that both

38
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:35,405
partners are comfortable and aligned.

39
00:01:36,585 --> 00:01:37,085
Four,

40
00:01:37,625 --> 00:01:39,965
engage in faith based activities together.

41
00:01:40,905 --> 00:01:44,105
Whether attending church services, joining a bible study

42
00:01:44,105 --> 00:01:47,405
group, or partaking in faith based community work,

43
00:01:47,909 --> 00:01:50,569
shared spiritual experiences deepen connections,

44
00:01:51,109 --> 00:01:54,069
and provide insights into your partner's relationship with

45
00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:54,569
god.

46
00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:56,250
Five,

47
00:01:57,189 --> 00:01:59,049
seek wisdom from godly mentors.

48
00:02:00,174 --> 00:02:03,795
Guidance from seasoned Christian couples or spiritual mentors

49
00:02:03,854 --> 00:02:05,555
offers invaluable perspective.

50
00:02:06,495 --> 00:02:08,675
As Proverbs nineteen twenty advises,

51
00:02:09,294 --> 00:02:11,395
listen to counsel and accept discipline

52
00:02:11,854 --> 00:02:13,534
that you may be wise the rest of

53
00:02:13,534 --> 00:02:14,275
your days.

54
00:02:15,709 --> 00:02:16,209
Six,

55
00:02:17,069 --> 00:02:18,209
foster individual

56
00:02:18,509 --> 00:02:19,489
spiritual growth.

57
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:23,389
A relationship flourishes when each partner is growing

58
00:02:23,389 --> 00:02:25,489
individually in their spiritual journey.

59
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:29,955
Encouraging personal growth whether through prayer, study, or

60
00:02:29,955 --> 00:02:30,455
reflection

61
00:02:31,155 --> 00:02:33,014
enriches the collective bond.

62
00:02:33,395 --> 00:02:33,895
Seven,

63
00:02:34,354 --> 00:02:35,974
embrace the power of forgiveness.

64
00:02:36,675 --> 00:02:37,974
Mistakes and misunderstandings

65
00:02:38,354 --> 00:02:39,014
are inevitable.

66
00:02:39,634 --> 00:02:41,974
Colossians three thirteen guides us.

67
00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:44,819
Bear with each other and forgive one another

68
00:02:44,819 --> 00:02:46,739
if any of you has a grievance against

69
00:02:46,739 --> 00:02:47,239
someone.

70
00:02:47,780 --> 00:02:49,799
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

71
00:02:50,739 --> 00:02:51,239
Eight,

72
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:53,879
discuss physical intimacy with care.

73
00:02:54,665 --> 00:02:57,784
Physical intimacy holds a significant place within Christian

74
00:02:57,784 --> 00:02:58,284
teachings.

75
00:02:59,145 --> 00:03:01,564
Engage in open discussions about expectations

76
00:03:02,585 --> 00:03:05,645
ensuring they align with personal and biblical convictions.

77
00:03:06,905 --> 00:03:09,724
Nine, lean on a supportive Christian community.

78
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,360
Immersing yourselves in a community that shares your

79
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:13,860
values

80
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,340
offers a robust support system.

81
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,740
They not only provide companionship,

82
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,860
but also guidance in challenging times.

83
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:23,379
10,

84
00:03:23,935 --> 00:03:24,435
prioritize

85
00:03:24,735 --> 00:03:25,715
shared prayer.

86
00:03:26,335 --> 00:03:28,995
Praying together amplifies spiritual intimacy.

87
00:03:30,014 --> 00:03:32,675
By laying down your hopes, dreams, and challenges

88
00:03:32,814 --> 00:03:34,355
before god as a unit,

89
00:03:34,974 --> 00:03:37,620
you fortify your collective spiritual journey.

90
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:39,400
11,

91
00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:41,239
keep him at the center.

92
00:03:41,860 --> 00:03:43,620
I think we should ask God to show

93
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:46,759
us how to hold any interpersonal dating relationship

94
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:47,560
loosely,

95
00:03:48,419 --> 00:03:50,840
especially if we really desire to be married.

96
00:03:51,694 --> 00:03:53,615
Guard your heart until you are sure you

97
00:03:53,615 --> 00:03:55,555
are both in the same place spiritually

98
00:03:56,495 --> 00:03:58,254
and that you both want the same thing

99
00:03:58,254 --> 00:03:59,235
out of the relationship.

100
00:04:00,655 --> 00:04:01,155
12,

101
00:04:01,455 --> 00:04:02,514
guard your heart.

102
00:04:03,134 --> 00:04:06,020
That is, until you have full confirmation from

103
00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:08,199
God that this is the one for you.

104
00:04:08,979 --> 00:04:11,060
And that does not just include going by

105
00:04:11,060 --> 00:04:11,560
feelings,

106
00:04:12,099 --> 00:04:14,259
it includes using your head to weigh up

107
00:04:14,259 --> 00:04:15,080
all factors.

108
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:16,839
13,

109
00:04:17,379 --> 00:04:19,720
walk by faith nor by feeling.

110
00:04:20,714 --> 00:04:22,955
Beware of the feeling of falling in love

111
00:04:22,955 --> 00:04:24,875
as this can cause a person to say

112
00:04:24,875 --> 00:04:25,375
things

113
00:04:25,675 --> 00:04:26,654
and make promises

114
00:04:27,194 --> 00:04:29,115
that they really have not considered in the

115
00:04:29,115 --> 00:04:30,334
cold light of day,

116
00:04:30,955 --> 00:04:32,634
which means you could end up hurt when

117
00:04:32,634 --> 00:04:34,395
they pull out or go back on what

118
00:04:34,395 --> 00:04:35,134
they say.

119
00:04:36,349 --> 00:04:38,610
That is the painful lesson I have learned.

120
00:04:39,229 --> 00:04:41,470
God in his providence will use every bad

121
00:04:41,470 --> 00:04:43,870
experience to bring about his purposes for those

122
00:04:43,870 --> 00:04:44,610
he loves

123
00:04:45,149 --> 00:04:46,370
regardless of anything.

124
00:04:47,550 --> 00:04:49,409
14, take your time.

125
00:04:50,115 --> 00:04:52,435
I'm thinking give a relationship a year before

126
00:04:52,435 --> 00:04:53,814
you let your guard down.

127
00:04:54,275 --> 00:04:56,514
And then if you both still want the

128
00:04:56,514 --> 00:04:57,254
same thing,

129
00:04:57,795 --> 00:04:58,615
move forward.

130
00:04:59,314 --> 00:05:01,714
However, if the other person is still unwilling

131
00:05:01,714 --> 00:05:03,095
to commit at this stage,

132
00:05:03,750 --> 00:05:05,529
I would consider breaking up.

133
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:07,129
Breaking up.

134
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:08,730
Conclusion.

135
00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:10,490
Interpersonal

136
00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:12,970
relationship tips for Christian dating,

137
00:05:13,589 --> 00:05:16,810
intertwine biblical teachings with modern relationship dynamics.

138
00:05:18,125 --> 00:05:21,004
Embracing these guidelines can help Christian singles build

139
00:05:21,004 --> 00:05:23,264
relationships that are profound in faith,

140
00:05:23,805 --> 00:05:25,825
trust, and mutual understanding.

141
00:05:27,085 --> 00:05:29,405
In the journey of Christian dating, let faith

142
00:05:29,405 --> 00:05:31,505
be your compass guiding every step,

143
00:05:32,045 --> 00:05:32,545
conversation,

144
00:05:32,845 --> 00:05:33,585
and decision.
