Discipline

Checks and Balances

7 Habits of Highly Defective Daters
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young teaches that the majority of modern dating is flawed and calls believers to only date and marry fellow Christians in order to be equally yoked, avoid emotional and spiritual incompatibility, and honor God’s design for relationships. He highlights defective dating habits such as ignoring a partner’s faith, basing decisions on superficial attraction ("showroom mentality"), engaging in premarital sexual immorality ("off-road mentality"), and failing to consider personal baggage, urging listeners to heed God's protective guidance to find their "ulti-mate."
