This is honest Christian dating and relationship advice from someone a little further down the road. Whether you’re single and waiting, newly dating and unsure, or somewhere in the complicated middle — these posts are for you. I write as someone who has been married for over a decade, but who remembers vividly what it felt like to wonder if love would ever come, and to navigate the search for it with faith. My hope is that something here brings you both comfort and clarity.

Common Questions About Christian Dating
Is it wrong to feel impatient while waiting for love?
No. Waiting is genuinely hard, and pretending it isn’t doesn’t help anyone. What’s helped me is trying to let the waiting shape me rather than just endure it — to ask what God might be growing in me instead of only counting the days.
How do I know if someone is the right person?
Start with whether they’re truly pursuing God, because almost everything else flows from that. Beyond that, pay attention to whether your heart feels safe with them. Over time that matters far more than chemistry or a checklist.
How do you get over heartbreak?
Slowly, and without rushing to fill the empty space. Heartbreak has a way of revealing where you’ve been placing your identity, which is painful but useful. Give yourself permission to actually grieve before you try to move on.
Should I guard my heart or be vulnerable?
Both, in the right order. Vulnerability is the only way real intimacy ever happens, but it’s meant to be given to people who have earned it. Wisdom isn’t the same thing as building walls.
I seek to live my life in a way that keeps me joyful and young at heart — and love, in all its beauty and difficulty, has been one of the greatest teachers on that journey.
