What About Dating?

DAY 4 OF 7

Share Values

You’re dating someone special. You’re excited. You might even be on your way to being in love. It feels amazing. 

But before you get too wrapped up in romance, how much do you know about your partner’s values? Goals? Passions? Dreams? What are his or her views on faith, finances, family, and the future? Have you communicated with each other on these important, life-impacting viewpoints?

It’s healthy to have differences—but it’s also important to be aligned on the stuff that really matters. Sharing this information sooner than later can benefit you both.

Pray

God, you created each of us as precious, unique beings, and invite us to celebrate our differences. You also long for us to be united in areas of life that matter most to you. Please guide us to be aligned in your principles of truth. 

When people are united with Christ, they naturally seek deeper unity with each other, too.

Read

Philippians 2:1-2

Reflect

Think about what this Scripture teaches about God’s values. (You might try reading the rest of this short passage to get a fuller picture of what God cares about (Philippians 2:1-11). How do your personal values compare to this picture?

Respond

Discuss the topic of personal and godly values with your partner, beginning and ending in prayer for peace and clarity.
