Your Match | David Marvin

When finding your match, it’s crucial that you know how to date well-God's way. The end goal is not to play for fun, but to play for keeps. In this message, we look at what God’s word has to say about who, when, and how to date in order to build a solid foundation for marriage. __
Everyone is looking for their "perfect match," but does that really exist? Finding the perfect person may not be reality, yet there are certain qualities that we should be looking for if we want a healthy marriage. In this series, we discuss love and dating with the intention that you would not only find your match but know your maker.

Great advice. As a divorced person, I can tell you most people are not ready for it for the first or second time. Put God first.

[@renaissancegirl87]

So good! Just want to put it out there though that just because you aren’t done school doesn’t mean that you can’t get married. You can.

[@lisabrazell8246]

I don’t think the suggestions provided were hard stops, rather, if you are not ready, for ANY reason, then it’s best to divert from dating until you are.

I love the Porch, David was preaching Good as usual, I have listens to so many sermons on dating from the porch and each time I learn something new.

I love these preaches, but please please bring more clarification on the part of "women say yes to dates" because it can easily be interpreted as "everytime a godly guy asks you on a data say yes" and it's not ok, because there might be many reasons that a woman wants to say NO, for example: She doesn't know that man well enough in friendship for her to feel comfortable enough for a date since dates give expectations, and men should respect that and not resent the woman for the rejection. Women are not more "godly" for saying yes to dates to every "godly" guy, if you don't feel like it, it's perfectly fine and they should absolutely respect that. Please include more clarification!

[@laurabaut2184]

What he has said in times past when talking about “women say yes to dates” is that they don’t play games with guys texting late at night to “u up?” Or “wyd?” Or any other pick up line that will lead a person on/ lead down a path of activity that is not God-honoring. Godly women say yes to Godly men who ask them on dates and can lead to relationships that honor God and each other.

my testimony after 37 years of marriage; the only winning move is not to play

[@vibeauxssxuaebiv3489]

Not 'playing' is by definition a losing move, and it's a pathetic choice if it's merely an attempt to avoid failure.

[@longredroad4249]

@@vibeauxssxuaebiv3489 for me the juice was never worth the squeeze, but I had to learn it the hard way.

[@garretschinkel2740]

Personally i believe that both genders should have equal responsabilities, but otherwise everyhing else is fine here

[@heycheckthisout2565]

Keep in mind a lot of wolves hang out in churches.

[@heycheckthisout2565]

Much of this is not substantiated by the Bible.

[@laurengilchrist7478]

could you elaborate please?
