- Dating with purpose, intention, and thought prevents a huge amount of unnecessary heartbreak. These are 4 important things to consider before entering into any relationship!
Certainly you can consider these things before dating at ALL, but I talk about what I think is most important to consider before dating (period) in my chapter on dating in my book!
I love the one earring look 😂💖
Am I using them to fill some void in my life?
Am I starting this relationship because I am lonely?
Why do I want to enter into this relationship?
Am I in a mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy place to date?
I love that you mention a healthy place doesn't mean a problem-free place!
Good video. I’m interested though...you gave a lot of reasons why you shouldn’t enter into a relationship. What are some reasons why you SHOULD enter into a relationship? Keep up the good work 😀
Yes, some great points to ponder here about the why nots, but would like to see more about the why you shoulds, as it were. :-)
The main reason is to see if this person could possibly be your life partner. 🥰
It’s be awesome if your husband had some advice for us guys haha. Everything you said was true for both sides of the relationship, really amazing advice!
Let's face it. When you enter into a relationship, you will either eventually get married, or you will break up. Break-ups suck and are painful. Yes, we can't totally avoid it, but hopefully these will prevent them to a degree. And yes, that is why you take some time off to grieve after a break-up. Thanks Emily
Just sayin'... I LOVE your new hair!!
Will you elaborate more on the loneliness part?
I know a lot of people who are lonely because they are single and would like to get married and start a family because they feel drawn to the vocation of marriage. I think dating with standards when your life is in order except for feeling lonely is ok. We are not meant to live alone. I think she's saying don't date someone you know is not good for you in order to avoid the loneliness. Dating someone who is a good match seems like a great way to battle loneliness to me 🤷
your hair and necklace are both poppin'!! I want to say Emily you've been one of the biggest blessings I've received in 2018. Your videos have helped me date with a wayyyy higher standards and I so appreciate that! Last year I definitely did get into some problematic relationships because I was lonely and was filling my void of lack of self love, but I was able to work through that and am now dating someone who pushes me to be a better person spiritually, financially, and charecterize, and who I support as well
Thank you for this. This really put words to why I’m hesitating about entering a relationship right now. My spirit knew to wait, but this really helped articulate why! And is helping me be more aware of my heart. Thank you!
Wow Emily, this video could have not come at a more perfect time! Thanks so much! 💕
How do you always have perfect timing?! I needed this rn... thank you sister 💗
Thank you for sharing this. I think it is important for everybody to know this.
i really needed to hear this! thank you for making this video! ❤️
This was such a great video Emily (as usual)!! I totally agree with you and can relate especially being in high school
Thank you so much! Thanks to God I am not in a relationship at the moment. You just give me the answer and is because I feel lonely and afraid that I will die a old persone that no one will remember. I am not yet ready or I am not yet at that stage where I can give fully. I am affraid to give because previously I gave everything and receive nothing back...
Already liking the video before watching all of it😃😃😍😍
I LOVE this video! That you so much for it Emily!
💛you Emily!! God bless you and your beautiful family!!! Divorced for 5 years. Praying for a God fearing husband. Getting impatient! I feel like I have a big X over me.. like it has NOT worked out with no one. I’m 37! Please pray for me.
Thank you for this Emily!!
Really really really needed this. Thank you!!!!!!!
Great information! Thank you Emily!
The videos you make are always perfect timing for me👏🏻😂
Funny you uptdate this video right now, when I'm thinking about whether God wants me to enter a relationship with a certain someone :) Lots of love, Emily!
Good things to consider or reconsider when one is already dating. Again, very helpful video! We love you @e-m-w-i-l-s-s! Also, loving the new haircut! :)
Oh my goodness. Your videos always come at the exact time I need them. Thank you for being such a great spiritual leader for women!! 💛
Well praise be! Thank you Angie!
Always sooo halpfull Emily! Love you so muchhhh! Huuugs from Barcelona ☺❤
All awesome advice! Zero of my previous relationships began intentionally so I'm asking God to help me consider these things for next time. I always end up liking someone because I feel like they are the "solution" to my problem. I think it comes from low self-esteem... I have that every man is a potential soulmate thing 🤦♀️🤦♀️
I laughed at the last part haha. Great insights! Very helpful 👌❤️ thanks Ems!
I love this video. It took my husband 6 month after meeting to become officially boyfriend/girlfriend. My ex was abusive, his ex didn't honor him and his wishes and longing to get closer to God. We took the time to make sure we were good for each other.
Being in a limbo of being single but having a very close female friend who id like to be in a relationship but it’s not a good time for her right now is causing me a lot of anxiety and depression. There is hope things work out down the road but I need to focus on building on building friendship.
Please pray for my anxiety and depression
Hang in there friend. Praying for you. God does not want us to be anxious! I know that doesn't mean it will just go away. But, " pray and don't worry" as best you can. Jesus loves you!
LOVE your hair!! thanks for the video 💗
Hey thanks sistah :)
Love all your vids!
That is an oof. I just had to admit to a guy that I couldn't start a relationship with him because I was trying to fill a void and I was lonely.
It’s funny how God works but I’m thankful He used you to remind me reasons why one dates. This guy and I are “talking” but haven’t made it official. I’ve prayed about our future “status” a lot and some of these questions have definitely made me think. Thank you so much Emily! I want to date with intention not just “willy nilly” 😊
Needed this!!
I love your hair! Also I love your talks!
Hey thanks girl!
I hear this. I was sincerely dating my husband to see if he would be a good husband and father to my future children. I wanted to get to know his choices, opinions, faith, kindness, how he treated the waiter even. I was analyzing his behavior and how he treated me BUT I was not expecting or dreaming of him to be prince charming. I wanted to get to know HIM! I also wanted to see if he was GOOD ENOUGH to be with me! ha ha! for real though I'm a catch and I have made him a wonderful doting wife and he has been a very affectionate and helpful husband and nurturing father. We are a good match but again I believe it is OK to stay single forever too.
This is so helpful. Thank you.
You are welcome Madeleine! What a beautiful name you have!
This is so awesome ! I thought it wouldn’t be something I would relate to , but turned out it was! ❤️
Nice hair Emily..love it
Thank you Sis
Emily, you´re a heart.
This is really interesting and enjoyed it. Do you believe people can be the same way with wanting to have kids? For selfish reasons?
BEST!!!!
emily , kinda sad you won’t be at stubenville lone star this year 😭
Hard to do, yes! But good for our emotional and spiritual health. I’ll keep these tips in mind when the next opportunity for a relationship comes. Your videos are always highlights of my week. 🌹
Quick question: if you have chronic health issues, should you not enter into a relationship because of them?
BTW, that’s so funny about your earring-I didn’t even notice you were missing one until you pointed it out! 😂
I also didn't notice her earring until she pointed out. In response to your question though, I think it's fine as long as both people are aware of the health issues and how it could affect the relationship. A couple of years after I met my bf, he's had chronic health issues. It hasn't always been easy being the one to take care of him. I love him though, and I guess it's good practice for loving someone in sickness and in health :)
what would you suggest for people that don’t get completely over the last person until they find a better person?
I waited a month after starting to get to know my husband till we became officially bf, and gf
Hi Emily I really love your videos!! I was wondering if you have a P.O. Box where your subscribers can send you gifts or letters?
Yes yes yes👏🏻👏🏻
Firstly you have to find somebody who could possibly be your future boyfriend 😂😂
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
❤❤❤❤❤
You only have one earring in Emily! One must have fallen out! :)
