The first 90 days of dating aren’t about solely seeking chemistry or certainty, they’re about pursuing wisdom.

Too often, we enter dating asking, “Is this the person I’m going to marry?”

A better question is, “Is God inviting me to continue pursuing this relationship?”

The first few months are a season of prayerful discernment, not emotional attachment.

Instead of rushing intimacy, focus on what Scripture encourages us to value:

☕ Date 1: Keep it simple. A 60–90 minute coffee or walk is enough to see if you’d like another conversation.

🚶🏽‍♀️ Dates 2–3: Do something interactive. Pay attention to how they treat others, respond to inconvenience, and carry themselves when no one’s watching.

💬 Dates 4–6: Start having meaningful conversations about faith, church, family, calling, values, and vision for marriage.

🤝 Weeks 6–8: Meet their community. Invite trusted mentors and wise counsel into the process. Healthy relationships don’t grow in isolation.

🙏 Weeks 8–12: Prayerfully discern. Is this relationship producing peace? Are you both becoming more like Christ? Do your lives point in the same direction?

Christian dating isn’t about chasing feelings… it’s about faithfully stewarding your heart while seeking God’s will.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6

Date slowly.
Discern wisely.
Trust God completely.

🤍 Save this for your next dating season, and share it with someone who’s committed to honoring Christ in their relationships.

Completely agree! Also, having faith. I would have been saved from a lot of I had used that theory. How easy it is to lose yourself on that time. The confusion.
