Is Your Dating Life Too Intense?

Tired of endless dates that lead nowhere?

This show cuts through the confusion and redefines the purpose of dating: to intentionally discover if you're meant for a lifelong journey together in marriage. Think of it like choosing a spaceship – you wouldn't want to launch into the cosmos in the wrong vessel!

We'll explore how to make your dating process successful, whether the answer is a resounding "yes" or a respectful "no." Because either way, you found out, and that's the win! Learn why dating is a crucial process that takes time, revealing true character that fleeting encounters can't hide. Discover how to spot those critical red flags and confidently "peel out" when necessary – that's precisely what this season of exploration is for!

We'll also help you distinguish between non-negotiable deal breakers and personal preferences, avoiding the traps of overthinking and the fruitless pursuit of perfection. Instead, we'll focus on identifying individuals who share your fundamental values and demonstrate a willingness to grow alongside you.

This isn't about fleeting physical attraction; it's about building a deep mental, emotional, and spiritual connection – the bedrock of a lasting marriage. We'll address the impact of engaging in the intimate aspects of marriage before commitment and why waiting can be the key to a clearer perspective on your partner and your relationship.

If you've ever wondered, "Why do I keep attracting the wrong kind?" or questioned your judgment, this show offers practical insights and encouragement. Remember, even a "no" is a valuable lesson that propels you forward.

Ready to date with intention and find the right co-pilot for your life's greatest adventure?
