We Date Modern - The PodcastEmotionally Healthy Dating and the Power of Prayer
On the podcast we’ve referenced the power of sexual intimacy in Christian dating quite a bit (check out our deep dive into sexual trauma or our interview with Pastor Brandon Watts on Christian dating and modern sexuality if you want to hear more). But let’s not neglect the power of emotional and spiritual intimacy on a relationship as well. Often I find in my work with couples that it’s easy to slip into pseudo-dating relationships or a toxic dynamic of codependence when two people push the boundaries of healthy emotional connection. On today’s episode...

The idea was that you would spice up your love life by leaping out of your comfort zone to ask a guy out on a simple coffee date. We liked to think of it as exposure therapy, or a way of intentionally desensitizing you to the experience of initiating romantic contact with a prospective partner. Hands down the biggest complaint we hear from Christian women at We Date Modern is that men...
