Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Christ-centered dating means building relationships on faith, respect, and shared gospel values. Focus on getting to know one another, uplifting each other spiritually, and seeking God’s guidance in your journey.
Scripture
“But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.”—Moroni 7:47
Quote
“In a dating and courtship relationship, I would not have you spend five minutes with someone who belittles you, who is constantly critical of you, who is cruel at your expense and may even call it humor. Life is tough enough without having the person who is supposed to love you leading the assault on your self-esteem, your sense of dignity, your confidence, and your joy. In this person’s care you deserve to feel physically safe and emotionally secure.”—Jeffrey R. Holland
