Guest Posts, Married Life, Single Life
I was honored to write a two complementary posts for Sheology.co on making bold relationship choices in 2020. One is on making bold dating choices and the other is on making bold choices in your marriage. Whatever your bold relationship choices are, grace is the key. I’ve got a short excerpt of each followed by a link to the full …
Single Life
I know the single life is really tough. I still remember. I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t do everything well when I was single. I fell into some traps that lead to heartbreak and mistakes. Many times, falling into a trap was caused by me deciding to settle. There are many ways that you can settle. Sometimes …
Single Life
This month, I’m turning 30, which is crazy. I don’t feel that old. Also now 30 doesn’t seem to be old to me anymore. It seems very young. In honor my 30 years of wisdom, I’m going to take the month of October to do some reflecting on my life. This includes what I have done well and what I …
Single Life
Our modern world is pretty sweet in some ways. We have the knowledge of the whole world at our fingertips due to smartphones and the internet. We can communicate with people anywhere for free. In many aspects of life, we have unlimited options. In other ways, our modern world creates problems other people have never had to deal with. We …
Single Life
We all have dreams of what we think our life could be like. One of my modern romance dreams was to have a high school sweetheart or a childhood friend that I married. How wonderful to marry a person that you’ve known for most of your life! You would be forever surrounded by people who had known you since you …
Single Life
I’ve always been slightly envious of those who lived during the time of Jane Austen or even during the Victorian era. While I wouldn’t want to trade away things like indoor plumbing and air conditioning, I do envy those time periods because there were clear rules of behavior. There was a code of etiquette. Everyone was aware of how you …
Single Life
You know what makes sexual purity and romance harder for Christians in our modern world? We learn about sex earlier and it’s everywhere, but, on average, people are getting married later and later in life. That means we have more temptation to stand up to and we have to stand up to it for longer (or forever). How did this …
Sex, Single Life
Can we just be real for a second? Modern romance is hard, especially if you are a Christian trying to live in a way that’s honoring to God. I think (and there are researchers and several books that agree with me) that dating and finding a marriage partner is more difficult now in some ways than it’s ever been. All …
Engagement, Married Life, Single Life
Someone I work with got married in June. After her wedding, she moved a couple of hours away to where her now husband lives. Her last week at work, we all went out to eat to celebrate her. During this outing, she asked myself and a few other married co-workers what advice we would give her about married life. She …
Single Life
I firmly believe that soulmates and “the one” are an urban legend. They’re not biblical concepts or historical ones (read last week’s blog post for more info on that). However, that doesn’t mean that you can just marry anybody you please and hope for the best. There are some warning signs and relationship red flags you should watch out for. …
