Dating Tips for Christians

from Turn it Up! Marriage Tips and Tools Hosted by by Kelly DuPée

10 Practical Christian Dating Tips to Avoid Heartbreak and Find God’s BestPastor and marriage coach Kelly DuPee shares practical, faith-based dating guidance for Christian singles who want marriage without anxiety and confusion. He urges viewers to first surrender daily to God and ask whether marriage is God’s will and whether the person they’re dating is God’s choice, emphasizing that singleness can also be a high calling. He explains dating’s purpose as learning what’s true over time—character, responsibility, conflict and stress responses, shared values, and authentic faith—then offers tips: build friendships in group settings, grow spiritually/emotionally/financially and learn contentment, pray before starting to date, be clear and intentional about dating, commit to sexual purity and boundaries, let relationships grow slowly, avoid future questions too soon, keep praying for ongoing direction and confirmation, and choose a long courtship with a short engagement, noting breakups are less painful than divorce.00:00 Dating Anxiety Question01:45 Purpose of Dating03:32 Tip 1 Surrender Daily05:47 Tip 2 Group Friendships08:04 Tip 3 Personal Growth11:41 Tip 4 Ask God First13:26 Tip 5 Date Intentionally15:27 Tip 6 Purity Boundaries17:29 Tip 7 Go Slow Wisely19:57 Tip 8 Future Questions21:48 Tip 9 Pray Confirmations24:49 Tip 10 Courtship Engagement27:17 Final Challenge ResourcesHere's the link to download his free couples communication guide: https://www.turnitup.coach/communicationguideHe's also offering a free 30-minute strategy call for personalized help.
