How Couples Can Tackle Financial Goals Together

Date with a purpose, and not just for fun. Every couple must have relationship goals.

What is the purpose of dating? Well, in the Bible, the only scriptural reason for being in a relationship with someone was to pursue a Godly marriage with that person. People did not just date around for the fun of it. There is absolutely no Bible basis for being romantically involved with someone you cannot see yourself marrying. So dating without that pursuit is a no-no and contradictory in God's word. Think about it!

​Dating to find love requires strategy, preparation, and goal setting, to get the results you want.

​The Bible says in Genesis 2:24, "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh."​

​Marriage is strongly defined by God.
