Relationships can feel like a rush. You meet someone. They make you laugh, smile, think. Suddenly, your world tilts a little. You’re texting all day, making plans, and they’re on your mind more than anything else. It’s exciting—and that’s okay. But in the middle of all that emotion, it’s easy to lose focus on the one relationship that matters most: your relationship with God.
Romantic relationships can be amazing, but they’re not meant to replace God in your life. No person can fill the space that only God is meant to hold, no matter how great. When you make your faith the foundation of your life, you make better choices in love. You won’t settle for less than God’s best. You’ll look for someone who shares your values and walks the same spiritual path.
And when things get hard—as they sometimes do—you’ll have a solid ground to stand on. God gives wisdom, peace, and clarity. That’s not something anyone else can give you.
You might be wondering how to actually do this. Here’s how to keep your relationship with God strong while dating.
It’s easy to think love will fill every empty space. But true fulfilment comes from God first. A healthy relationship isn’t two people completing each other; it’s two complete people walking together toward God.
Focus on God. Then love others well.
