I remember the day that I called my mom and said, “Had I known it would be like this, I would have never dated. I would have skipped every prom, homecoming, and barn warming dance (a Missouri thing). I am hopelessly in love with the woman I want to marry and I just now realized that I have wasted my life trying to be some other girls’ hero… I am ready to be a husband.” That statement represented a huge paradigm shift that took place in my life from being a serial dater to dating with the intent for marriage.
Over the years God has blessed my wife Avia and I with the opportunity to share with many single people about how we dated (some would call this courtship). Sadly the story I will share over the next few blog post will sound completely contrary to the dating culture. I remember my own years of looking for “love” and going about it in all the wrong ways. I have sat across the table from enough lonely and desperate people to know that things haven’t changed much.
If you are single and looking for the right way to date hopefully these blog posts will be an encouragement to you about how God can guide you through this time of your life. My aim is 3 fold. 1. I will be sharing in a story format how Avia and I came to be married. 2. I will be sharing practical principles and steps we took. 3. I will be sharing the scripture that lead us to those principles and steps.
Stay tuned…. Here are some of the titles of upcoming blog posts
