Description: Dating fatigue is rough–and Christians are not spared from it too.

Not only do we have to assess our own interest, our date’s character and their passions, we have to consider their relationship with God too. Talk about a tall order!

Understandably, we might be too quick to rule someone out or too slow to admit that things aren’t working out, because let’s be real, we want to skip to the good part (being in the relationship).

Even so, we can learn to date well. It’s part of loving our neighbours (Matthew 22:35-40), and looking out for our brothers and sisters-in-christ (1 Peter 3:8).

This isn’t one more list for evaluating potential Christian partners, because choosing to commit to a life-long partner takes more than a few tips and advice.

Rather, may you be encouraged to approach dating with a fresh perspective, knowing that God is sanctifying the both of you in the process (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24).
