So, you’re in a Christian relationship and wrestling with the whole physical intimacy thing, right? Well, first off, it’s completely normal. We’re human, after all. Even the Bible doesn’t shy away from love and physical affection (hello, Song of Solomon!). But let’s navigate these waters with a bit of grace and a lot of faith….

Well, isn’t this a plot twist in your love story? One minute you’re exchanging those starry-eyed gazes, the next, you’re sitting in silence, wondering if your love life’s scriptwriter went on a break.

Imagine, if you will, a world where every date is a potential adventure in the land of faith – welcome to Christian dating! It’s not your typical rom-com scenario; no, sir. We’re talking about a realm where chivalry meets theology, where “Netflix and chill” are often replaced with “Bible study and chill.” This isn’t just…

So, you’re scrolling through your social media feed, and every other post is an engagement announcement, baby photos, or someone gushing over their “perfect” partner. Meanwhile, you’re sitting there with your cold coffee, thinking, “Where’s my Mr. Right?” But hold on, before we start imagining our dream wedding, let’s talk about what ‘boyfriend material’ really…

So, here’s the scoop: we’re diving into the deep end of office romance – specifically, the adventurous journey of dating your colleague. Picture Adam and Eve, minus the whole apple fiasco, working side by side in the Garden of Eden. That’s right, we’re talking about navigating the waters of love while sharing a workspace. It’s…

Well, isn’t this a pickle we’ve found ourselves in? Picture the scene: Dad’s at home, knee-deep in diapers and playdates, while Mom’s out there making it rain manna (or, you know, dollars). It’s not exactly the flannelgraph story we grew up with in Sunday school, is it? Let’s unpack this, shall we? We’ve got the…

So here we are, standing at the crossroads of Cupid’s arrow and the cross, where Christian dating and worldly dating are like two different dance floors at the same wedding. On one side, you’ve got couples swaying to “Amazing Grace,” and on the other, it’s all about whoever’s topping the charts. It’s the age-old tale…

On one hand, you’ve got dating, where you’re sampling the buffet of life, hoping to find someone who doesn’t think “turn the other cheek” involves a slap fight. Then there’s courting, where you’re pretty much signing up for a partner-in-crime to build an ark with because you’re in it for the long haul. It’s the…

So, you’ve swiped right on someone who’s cute as a button, and their profile says they’re Christian. Sweet, you think, we’ve got the Jesus thing in common. But wait, they’re a different flavor of Christian than you. Before you panic and think this is the spiritual equivalent of mixing plaids with stripes, let me break…

So, you’re scrolling through your life, swiping left on the not-so-right choices life throws at you, and you pause at the thought, “What if I dated a Christian?” Now, I’m not talking about just any Sunday morning pew warmer. I mean someone who can quote the Fruits of the Spirit and not just because they’re…

So, you’ve landed yourself a jokester, huh? One of those guys who thinks he’s the next stand-up sensation because he can throw a “joke” or two your way. But here’s the thing: if those jokes make you feel like you’re the punchline in a bad comedy show, then Houston, we have a problem. You know,…

So, you’ve been hearing the term “boyfriend fit” thrown around like confetti at a New Year’s Eve party. But what’s the deal with it? Why are we, the fabulous millennials, so into wearing clothes that look like they’ve been borrowed from a dude’s closet? And no, it’s not just because we ran out of clean…

So you’ve got a guy. Maybe he’s the one who sends you those “good morning” texts, or perhaps he’s the dude you’ve split bills with for the past few years. But here’s the million-dollar question: Is he in the boyfriend zone, or has he unlocked those elite husband privileges? Welcome to the 21st-century relationship conundrum!…

So, you woke up, grabbed your phone, and boom! He blocked you. Like, seriously? Yesterday you were sharing memes about cats wearing hats, and today you’re digitally dead to him. Welcome to the rollercoaster of millennial dating, where one minute you’re on top of the world, and the next, you’re plummeting faster than your Wi-Fi…

Dating. Think of it as a buffet where every dish has its unique flavor. Now, when it comes to girlfriends, they’re the spicy, sweet, tangy, and sometimes unexpected tastes in this buffet. From the ones who’ll binge-watch crime documentaries with you to those who’ll drag you to a sunrise yoga class, each has her own…

Dating. It’s that exhilarating rollercoaster where every turn and twist could lead to the big question: “Is this the one God has for me?” In the Christian realm, this ride comes with an added layer: figuring out God’s timeline. Now, I’ve been in those church group discussions. Some folks advocate for the “When you know,…

Ever heard the one about how “If you pray hard enough, God will literally drop your soulmate right in front of you”? Yeah, if only it were that simple. Now, don’t get me wrong.

As romance goes digital, with apps, pings, and online profiles, the playbook for love is rewritten, revealing new challenges in the quest for genuine connections.

So, you’ve landed yourself a girlfriend. Congrats, champ! But now you’re hearing this mysterious term called “space.” No, she’s not asking you to become an astronaut or take her to the moon. She’s hinting at something a tad more down-to-earth. Space, my friend, is like that secret sauce in your grandma’s legendary spaghetti. You can’t…

Understanding emotional and behavioral cues in a relationship is like trying to understand why cats hate water. It’s essential, yet baffling. But hey, we aren’t mind readers, and neither are our partners (thank goodness for that, am I right?). So, we rely on these subtle, and sometimes not-so-subtle, cues to figure out what’s brewing in…

Hey, it’s a valid question! Relationships are like a rollercoaster; sometimes you hit a loop you didn’t see coming. Relationships, am I right? One…

So, you’ve heard the saying, “Actions speak louder than words,” right? Well, whoever came up with that was onto something. In the world of relationships, it’s often the things we don’t say that make the most significant impact. Think about it. That unexpected hug after a long day, the way your partner’s eyes light up…

When it comes to Christian dating, those early stages are about more than just figuring out the perfect emoji combination to send after a great date. It’s about laying a foundation, brick by brick, for something that’s meant to last. And trust me, it’s worth understanding. Now, I get it. The world tells us to…

You know, in today’s swipe-crazed dating world, it’s easy to feel like you’re in a never-ending episode of “The Bachelor.” But without the roses. And the fancy trips. And… well, you get the point. Morrow, on page 12, hits the nail on the head when he says: “The modern dating scene is like a jungle…

Breakups, right? They’re like that unexpected pimple that pops up right before a big event. Annoying, painful, and always at the worst possible time. But here’s the thing: just like that pimple, breakups too have a silver lining. They force us to look in the mirror, quite literally sometimes, and ask the hard questions. Why…

So, you’ve found yourself in a relationship where your partner seems to have a peculiar fascination with your scent. I mean, sure, you’ve spent a fortune on those fancy perfumes, but he’s not just sniffing the Chanel No. 5 on your wrist. Nope, he’s going all in, taking deep breaths of your hair, your neck,…

So, you’ve found yourself back in the world of dating. And let me guess, it’s a tad more complicated than the last time you were here, right? Maybe there’s an app (or ten) involved now, and you’re trying to decipher the difference between “ghosting” and “breadcrumbing.” Welcome to dating post-divorce. But here’s the kicker: it’s…

So, you’re in a relationship, and everything’s going swimmingly. You’ve got the cute date nights, the inside jokes, and maybe even a shared Netflix account (because that’s the real commitment, right?). But there’s just one teeny, tiny, itsy-bitsy problem: your partner hasn’t dropped the L-bomb. Yep, those three little words that can make or break…

They’ve got the sun, the sand, and the… well, you get the picture. But before you throw his phone out the window or start a passive-aggressive meme war, let’s…

In the world of dating, finding someone who laughs at your jokes and remembers how you take your coffee is a win. But what happens when you throw different faith backgrounds into the mix? Suddenly, you’re not just sharing playlists but also navigating centuries-old traditions. If you’re a Catholic dating a Protestant (or vice versa),…

So, you’ve found yourself in a relationship where your partner thinks they’re part vampire, huh? Welcome to the club! It’s like, one minute you’re cuddling on the couch, and the next, BAM! Dracula’s got nothing on your boo. But before you start investing in garlic necklaces, let’s break down this whole biting business. Now, I…

So, you’ve snagged yourself a partner. Congrats! But wait, there’s a tiny hiccup. The dude can’t seem to hold down a job. And by “tiny hiccup,” I mean that awkward moment when you’re out for dinner, and he’s scanning the menu for the cheapest item. Again. Complexities and Cash Flow Dating is complicated. Throw in…

So, you’ve landed yourself in the Christian dating scene, and between deciphering emojis and figuring out if coffee really means just coffee, you’re now pondering, “What’s the deal with being a godly Christian wife in the 21st century?” I mean, isn’t that something from the era of no internet and chariot traffic jams? But hold…

So, you’ve been binge-watching those romantic dramas again, haven’t you? And somewhere between the heartbreaks, make-ups, and those oh-so-perfect rain-kissed scenes, you stumbled upon this age-old debate: to submit or not to submit? That is the question. Now, before you start imagining yourself in a Shakespearean play, let’s break this down. Submission to Him…What?! Submission…

Dating in the Christian world? It’s like regular dating but with an added sprinkle of faith, a dash of scripture, and maybe a hymn or two. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Here we go with the ‘men lead, women follow’ spiel,” hang tight. This isn’t about outdated traditions. It’s about understanding genuine…

So, you’ve probably heard of Romeo and Juliet, right? The star-crossed lovers who made us all believe in the power of love (and also made us question the wisdom of making life-altering decisions when you’re like, 14). But have you ever come across the OG power couple from ancient China, the Butterfly Lovers or better…

So, Bonnie and Clyde. You’ve probably heard of them, right? The infamous duo that made headlines not just for their daring bank heists, but for their whirlwind romance. I mean, who needs Romeo and Juliet when you’ve got these two? But before you start thinking their love story is #RelationshipGoals, let’s take a closer look….

So, you’ve swiped right on Tinder, had a few awkward coffee dates, and now you’re wondering if true love even exists? Well, honey, let me take you back a few centuries to a time when love stories were more about swords, sarees, and societal drama than about emojis, ghosting, and Netflix. Yep, I’m talking about…

Swipe left, swipe right. Nope, we’re not talking about wiping down those tear-streaked windows after watching “The Notebook” (for the tenth time this month). We’re diving into the murky waters of dating apps. Yep, they’ve become as quintessential to our generation as avocado toast and recycling your ex’s hoodies. A Sea of Dating Apps: From…

So, you’ve stumbled upon the term “daddy kink” while swiping through Tinder or maybe during a late-night chat with your bestie. And now, you’re here, trying to figure out what the fuss is all about.  Daddy kink and modern relationships Daddy kink isn’t some newfangled trend that Gen Z cooked up last week. Nope, it’s…

You know, back in the day, our grandparents had it easy. Swipe left? Swipe right? Nope, they just had to worry about not getting left behind at a dance. Today, we’ve got more dating apps than we have pairs of socks, and yet, finding “the one” feels like searching for a needle in a haystack….

You know, in the midst of swiping left, ghosting, and decoding those cryptic text messages (I mean, what does “K” even mean?), there’s this little thing called physical abuse that we need to chat about. Yeah, I know, heavy topic for a Tuesday afternoon, but stick with me. Now, I’m sure you’ve heard the age-old…

Girl, let me tell you, the world has this weird obsession with boob size. I mean, one day you’re sipping your latte, minding your own business, and the next, you’re bombarded with ads for push-up bras that promise to make your girls look like they’re defying gravity. But here’s the plot twist: not all of…

The City That Never Sleeps, and Neither Does Your Love Life You think your ex was high-maintenance? Try dating someone who lives by the rhythm of a city that doesn’t believe in bedtime. Yeah, I’m talking about New Yorkers. These folks have got adaptability down to an art form. I mean, they’ve mastered the ability…

In an era where “sliding into DMs” is considered romantic and ghosting is an actual thing (seriously, who came up with that?), maintaining a genuine connection in relationships feels like a Herculean task. Gone are the days of love letters and waiting by the phone. Today, with our fast-paced lives and even faster internet connections,…

Ever felt like you’re carrying a backpack filled with bricks, but there’s no physical weight on your shoulders? That’s the sneaky weight of emotional manipulation. It’s not just about the occasional mood swings or disagreements. It’s the constant, gnawing feeling that chips away at your self-esteem, leaving you questioning your worth, your choices, and heck,…

Ever whispered something in someone’s ear and watched them go from zero to a hundred? No? Well, you’re in for a treat. Dirty talk is that secret weapon, the spice, the cherry on top. But hey, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea initially. Many of us stutter, blush, or accidentally bring up grandma (true story)….

Every generation has its taboos. Remember when Elvis’s hip gyrations were considered scandalous? Or when reading “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” was an act of rebellion? Girls who swallow are, in many ways, the modern rebels. They’re challenging societal norms, pushing boundaries, and redefining what intimacy means. It’s not about being risqué for the sake of it;…

You think you’ve got all the answers, don’t you? But understanding female desire isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. Let’s dive into this intricate world together, exploring the power of emotional connection, communication, and understanding her needs.

Pillow humping might sound like something out of a quirky rom-com, but trust me, it’s as natural as Adam and Eve running around the Garden of Eden in their birthday suits. What is Pillow Humping? Pillow humping, in its simplest form, is the act of achieving pleasure using – you guessed it – a pillow….

Every relationship, from Adam and Eve to Meghan and Harry, has its quirks. And while we might think there’s a one-size-fits-all guide to love (probably tucked away in the self-help section of the bookstore), the reality is far more colorful. Remember when Samson told Delilah all his secrets because of… love? Yeah, maybe not the…

Let’s chat about that word that’s been thrown around more than a frisbee at a beach party: “creepy.” Now, I’m not talking about the thrill you get from a midnight horror movie marathon or that eerie feeling when you hear a floorboard creak in an empty house. No, I’m diving deep into the dating pool’s…

The age-old dance of attraction—as timeless as Cleopatra’s allure and as intricate as a Baroque symphony. But here’s the spicy note that’s often played sotto voce: the horniness of a woman. It’s a force of nature, a tidal wave of emotion, and yet, it’s shrouded in more mystery than the lost city of Atlantis. Before…

The importance of first impressions Ever been on a date where you felt like you were auditioning for a role in a Shakespearean play? Yeah, me too. But here’s the thing, while Shakespeare might have said, “All the world’s a stage,” your date night shouldn’t feel like a drama class. First impressions are like the…

Love, in all its glory, is a universal emotion. From the bustling streets of New York to the serene landscapes of Tibet, love is the one language we all speak. But here’s the million-dollar question that’s been bugging poets, philosophers, and even your nosy Aunt Karen: Is love a matter of the heart or the…

Once upon a time, in a world not so different from ours, the most significant social network was the local church’s Sunday potluck. Fast forward a few millennia, and here we are, in a world where ‘follow’ has nothing to do with Matthew 4:19 and everything to do with Instagram. The rise of social media…

Ever tried to find Waldo in a crowd? Well, understanding the Indian dating scene might feel a tad bit like that. But instead of the striped shirt, we’re dealing with a plethora of traditions, vibrant colors, and not to forget, the nosy Aunties who think you’re too thin. But as Paul wrote to the Corinthians,…

Origin and Context You remember that movie, right? “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”? It’s that classic rom-com where Kate Hudson goes all out to drive away Matthew McConaughey in a short span of 10 days for the sake of journalism. Ah, the things we do for a good story! But here’s a…

Ah, the honeymoon phase! It’s kind of like when you discover a new ice cream flavor and can’t get enough of it. But then, one day, you remember other flavors are a thing. Does that mean this new flavor isn’t as delish? Nope. Just means you remembered variety, baby! In the Jewish tradition, the Song…

A Love That Changed History Anyone else get the feeling history class would’ve been a hundred times more interesting if they’d framed it as one giant soap opera? Because, let’s be real, if there ever was a love story that felt like it came straight out of a telenovela’s playbook, it’s Napoleon and Josephine’s. They…

Picture the dating scene as a bustling market square. A lot of haggling, noise, the occasional flying fish, and someone always trying to sell you something you don’t need. It’s vibrant but also… utterly exhausting. Especially when you’re more “let’s sip tea and have deep conversations” than “let’s hit every booth in record time!” You…

Whoever said relationships were like breezy Sunday picnics probably never had to decide who gets the last slice of pizza. Reality check: relationships can be more like navigating through the wilderness, with fewer manna showers and more miscommunication downpours. However, they’re still worth every misstep, especially when God’s at the helm. We’ve all had our…

If you’ve ever wondered about the buzz around which ear piercing supposedly hints at one’s sexuality, well, you’re in for an earful. Enter the “gay ear” concept—a curious blend of culture, whispers, and shiny earrings. Tracing the roots, this ear-marked concept links the tradition of ear piercings with cultural interpretations and, dare I say, some…

Ah, the age-old adage: “Opposites Attract.” It’s the stuff of romantic legends, candlelit dinners, and, let’s be honest, most Taylor Swift songs. We’ve grown up thinking that the love of our life is probably someone who is our complete polar opposite. Someone who’d argue that pineapple belongs on pizza, while we, the sane ones, vehemently…

Love’s Ever-Expanding Dictionary Alright, for all you Word Nerds out there, you know language evolves faster than your Aunt Mildred’s questionable fashion choices. Remember when “on fleek” was the buzzword? Me neither. But understanding terms like “biromantic” and “bisexual” is more than just keeping up with the cool kids. It’s about knowing the roadmap of…

High maintenance. Whew, those two words can drum up images of sparkling stilettos, perfectly coiffed hair, and… a gold digger? Wait, pump the brakes! Let’s not let our horses bolt just yet. When you hear “high maintenance,” it doesn’t automatically mean someone’s rifling through your wallet. Let’s revisit the Garden of Eden for a hot…

Ever felt like relationships should come with an instruction manual? Yeah, me too. Well, the good news is they do. It’s called life experience. Okay, and maybe a few scriptures here and there. But seriously, grasping the intricacy of human relationships is like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded. And just when you think…

Little Surprises: Big Impact If there’s one thing Solomon probably didn’t pen down in his proverbs, it’s the importance of keeping the ‘zing’ alive with surprises in a relationship. But trust me, if he had been a millennial dating in this age of Instagram and TikTok, he definitely would have! There’s an undeniable power in…

Ah, long-lasting love. It’s the stuff fairy tales, Hallmark movies, and late-night ice cream binges are made of. You see, everyone thinks they want a fairy tale, but let’s remember, even Cinderella lost a shoe, and Snow White? Poor thing had to deal with a malicious queen. The meaning of a long-lasting relationship A forever…

Feeling ignored in a relationship? It’s like praying without the amen. Incomplete and leaving you wondering, “Hello? Anyone out there?” We’ve all been there. From Adam probably feeling a tad ignored when Eve was chatting up that serpent, to Jesus asking Peter, “Do you love me?” not once, but thrice. Communication in relationships is like…

Behold: The Era of Love Letters 2.0 Long before sliding into DMs was cool, Ruth was literally sliding under Boaz’s blanket to signal her interest. Flash forward a few millennia, and here we are, a thumb’s slide away from declaring our emotions, ordering pizza, or asking someone if they like your new sandals – yes,…

Editor’s note: This article was submitted by a programmer-turned-philosopher friend of ours. Read on, and you will understand why. There’s this notion that being sophisticated is like being a character in a Victorian novel, full of pointless eloquence and ostentatiousness. Nah, sophistication is more than just knowing which fork to use for your salad. It’s…

The Moment You Say “I Do” The second you say those magic words, everything changes, and I don’t mean you suddenly comprehend the “husband stitch” jokes from your bridal shower. It’s like you’ve jumped from Genesis to Revelation, only without the locusts and dragons. Names matter, not just in the Book of Life but in…

Communication in a relationship is like the glue in a really fancy scrapbook; it’s what holds everything together. Sure, it can get messy and sticky at times, but it’s essential. As Proverbs 25:11 says, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.” In other words, say the right thing,…

Who knew that you could say so much without uttering a word? It’s like the old biblical paradox: “In the beginning was the Word, but sometimes no words are needed.” Okay, maybe not a direct quote, but you get the point. This unspoken, non-verbal language is like a symphony, and it plays an essential role…

Understanding the Modern Father – Not Your Grandpa’s Pipe-and-Slippers Dads today are flipping the script and rewriting the fatherly playbook.

Remember, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger but bring them up in the…

Pop quiz: What’s more misunderstood, a teenager’s mood swings or a mother-in-law? Tough question, right? But what’s behind this stereotype? Is every mother-in-law really a fire-breathing dragon in disguise? It’s like claiming every cat is plotting world domination – amusing but not exactly grounded in reality. The truth is, this stereotype often oversimplifies a complex…

Today, we’re on a mission to tackle that irksome elephant in the room – the delicate, often bumpy road of balancing family support between partners. You know what I’m talking about, right? That moment when you find yourself slaving away at your 9 to 5 (or let’s be real, it’s more like 8 to 6…

Ever walked into a movie theater halfway through a film? No fun, right? Let’s rewind a bit. The big question on everyone’s lips – are gay relationships allowed in Christianity?

You’ve just finished your daily couple’s devotional, and your partner clears their throat in that peculiar way that makes your stomach twist with uncertainty.

Okay, so here’s the thing. You’ve got a boyfriend who’s more sour than a lemon when it comes to your guy friends. He’s not a fan. Nope, not one bit. You love him to bits, but you’re also not ready to ditch your bros. Quite the conundrum, huh? It’s like being stuck between a rock…

The Unwanted Encore Ever been at a concert where the band leaves the stage, the crowd goes wild, and then they come back for an encore, and everyone’s thrilled?

Scouting the Terrain: The Christian Values Landscape If you think dating was a complex dance, try throwing Christian values into the mix. Now you’re doing the cha-cha in a minefield.

Here Comes the Gift Nothing says, “I really thought about this” like a personalized gift. And in the context of Christian weddings, it’s like saying, “I see you, I know your journey, and I’m celebrating this milestone with you, sprinkled with a little holy glitter.” It’s like being the ultimate wedding ninja – considerate, sneaky,…

Prenups: Not Your Typical Wedding Favor If there’s one topic that makes folks squirm more than the ‘birds and the bees’ talk at Sunday school, it’s prenuptial agreements. You know, prenups – those pesky legal documents that can somehow transform even the most romantic proposal into an episode of Law & Order. It’s the elephant…
