Are you looking for love in all the wrong places? Or have you just given up on love altogether? In today's episode, Jackie Dorman, shares from a Biblical perspective about dating and marriage. We talk about how getting healthy and healed at the heart level, as an individual, will open the door for your true "spirit mate" to show up in your life.

A few things we talk about:

Nobody is perfect. As time goes on, we make a long list of things that are “non-negotiable” when in reality, they aren’t.

Marriage is all God ever wanted. God cares most about our relationships, because he created man and woman for each other.

Dating is not for mating. Dating is to get to know yourself, it’s a discovery process of getting to know other people and having fun and learning about the opposite sex and learning about yourself.

Spiritual intuition. When you have a broken heart, that gift will get overextended by trauma and will be taken over by suspicion and you will see problems and danger that are not there.

It doesn't have to be easy, it just has to be worth it. A lot of times people fantasize about "the one for me" or that the love story God has for us will be easy, which is an idea that is not modeled for us anywhere in scripture.

 It has to be a yes until it's a no. Give yourself a chance to get to know yourself, to get to this person, don't cut and run at the first sign of danger because you are God-defended.

Break down the walls. The only thing building a wall to keep people out will accomplish is to keep the good ones out, there are dysfunctional people who see those walls as a challenge to climb. You are almost inviting a dysfunctional relationship by keeping those walls up.
