3 Christian Dating Rules to Break
Relationship advice is everywhere–even for the Christian girl. Whether it’s a book, blog post, or podcast, we have access to loads of info on how to rock a relationship or find “the one.” Most of the time the advice is offered in good faith.

What about the dating rules that sound Godly, but if taken too far can actually be harmful? I want to tackle three common rules of Christian dating that should be challenged. None of…

Although hospitality comes naturally to my husband (who comes from a big family), this is something I’m learning to be intentional about. But why?

My Problem with Christian Dating
Okay, normally I try not to rant on here, but I’ve recently read something that made me lose it. It was midnight, and I was looking online for devotions for dating couples. And then somehow I stumbled upon some forum post from a Christian girl saying she refused to do devotionals with a boyfriend because she wanted to guard her heart. Yup. She said even praying together was too intimate–more than sex! I’m not trying to judge this person, as we all have different convictions.
