Alisa's Reviews > Boundaries in Dating

I highly enjoyed reading this book. It offers so many valuable insights and pieces of advice on how to navigate the dating season that can really be the turning point in many difficult or unknown situations. Sometimes we don't even know why we chose to date a certain type of person and can't see beyond our desire to be with someone, so that we are incapable of judging the dating situation accurately. Too many times we fall in the self-made trap of thinking that things are going great when in fact we're hiding our insecurities, unconscious characteristics and traumas, thus ignoring red flags and continuing to date in an unhealthy manner. In addition, to being blind when in love, we're also sinners in need of the guiding Holy Spirit in every step and period of our lives. Learning to spot our weaknesses and channeling our fears will certainly make way for more meaningful relationships. Moreover, acting more conscious when dating will spare many broken hearts, and mend accumulated trust issues. Dating is not bad when done right and within the boundaries of a holy God who wants to support our spiritual and emotional growth, preparing us for a sanctified marriage that symbolizes the divine union between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
