Aiming for a Godly Marriage in the Dating Years - Tovares & Safa Grey

  • Dating in today’s culture has changed significantly in a generation. Single adults are often less intentional about thinking and planning ahead for a future marriage. And many Christians aren’t committed to moral boundaries anymore in their dating relationships. Tovares and Safa want to change that dynamic by pointing single adults to God’s design for dating. Singles need to prepare themselves to be godly mates and have a “teamwork”/service perspective rather than a focus on self. You can’t have a “take it or leave it” approach - which is arrogance, not godliness. Or beware following today’s “cancel culture” by judging other people. Tovares and Safa recommend singles inspect the spiritual fruit of potential dating partners in order to avoid “counterfeit Christians.” And finally, it’s important that your dating journey draw you closer to God, rather than away from Him.

      Hello, can I purchase this book even after marriage? or is it specifically before marriage?

      Hey Candice! Great question. So, Godly Dating 101 is basically a super helpful guide for young Christians who want to have real and healthy relationships. If you're thinking about buying it, I hope this description helps you make up your mind!

      @@Candice_Pope for sure! There are principles that we apply in our marriage currently that are in the book to learn whether single or married.

    Wow! So happy for Tovares and Safa been following them on their YT "Godly Dating" and they are the real deal. They sincerely desire God's purpose for relationships. Such good examples for our generation.

    12:56. The older gentleman said something extremely important here. Understanding what you need to work on STARTS with selfishness. And sometimes you find that out after you're in the relationship and you realize the things you need to work on which still require some selfishness.

    Great discussion! I love how Tovares mentioned the importance of understanding Godly principles. If you grow up always being told what to do, it can be hard to navigate difficult issues when they arise and you have to make a decision by yourself. Understanding God’s will for us and our lives (as his followers) is a great foundation!

    In this world where lies abound, we'll find our way,
    Through dating's twists and turns, we learn to pray.
    For Godly Dating 101, the book in hand,
    With Tavares and Safa, we'll understand.
    In times of me, me, me, we often stray,
    But service and devotion should lead the way.
    No cut-off game, no shallow goal in sight,
    We're here to serve, to love, and shine Christ's light.
    Relationships, they shape us, make us grow,
    Through trials and challenges, God's love will show.
    So let's prepare, equip, and understand,
    God's plan for dating, guided by His hand.
    For in this world of dating's changing scene,
    We'll seek God's wisdom and keep our hearts clean.
    With faith and love, we'll navigate this space,
    And in His grace, find love and God's embrace.

    I remember a two week period when 2 women came up to me at different times and told me that God had shown them that they were to marry me.
    One thing that was clear to me was that atleast one of them hadn't heard from God correctly.
