Show Notes
Okayyyy this one was FUN. 💌 In the spirit of our Valentine’s series, we brought in the real experts — our husbands — to answer your dating questions. And let’s just say… they did not hold back.
From slow texters and “is he into me?” confusion, to crushes that might be idols (yikes 😅), to dating your ex’s best friend (double yikes??), we covered it all. We talked about insecurity, confidence, communication, rejection, equal yoking, and what healthy pursuit actually looks like.
The boys shared honestly about what it means to pursue with clarity, why you should never have to guess how a guy feels about you, and how important community and character really are.
If you’re dating, thinking about dating, healing from dating, or just trying to not overthink dating — this episode is for you. We laughed a lot and hopefully left you feeling a little more confident, a little more grounded, and a lot more at peace.
