When I was single I didn’t think about certain things that would happen while being married. I didn’t really know what to expect.

One thing I’ve come to realize and love about my relationship with my husband (there are many) is that we are on the same page politically, morally, and religiously. These are important things to note when you are dating someone and talking about marriage. No, you don’t have to agree on everything, but in my opinion the big stuff you should.  If you are single, dating, talking about getting married, I would ask these 3 questions What are their religious beliefs? What are their morals? What are their political views? These are hard topics to discuss, I get it, but they are vitally important in a relationship. Think about it, you want to spend the rest of your life with this person. This is the person you will be making all your decisions with. This is the person you will be raising your children with. This is the person you are sharing your finances with. This is the person you will live with. This is an important decision. I cannot stress this enough!! I want to help you become confident in your own skin. I want to help you see your worth. I want to help you become content in the season you are in while also preparing for a relationship.

Do you know what you are looking for in a partner? Do you know the characteristics and traits they would have? If you answered no to these questions, it may be time to sit down and write out a list of what you are looking for in a future partner. I'm not talking about physical traits. I'm talking about if they love Jesus, are loyal, outgoing, fun to be around, have a sense of humor, have integrity. Someone suggested I write out a list of what I was looking for in a future husband. I searched my heart for what I truly wanted in a partner and invited God into the process. My list is about 6 pages of characteristics and at the end I wrote out a prayer. This may be something you need to do to become clear as to who you are looking for. This made dating less overwhelming for me and I was able to sift through guys I didn't want to date because of this list. This list is not meant for you to be closed minded, but it will help you be firm in your non-negotiables and not settle. I want to hear from you! If you decide to make a list tell me!

There was a point in time when I was set on meeting my future husband “organically.” I had this dream that I would meet him through friends, mutual friends, or doing something I love. I didn't want my story to be "we met online." With diving into my relationship with Jesus, working on myself, and truly wanting to be with a quality guy, I started to change my mindset around online dating. My mantra became it doesn't matter how I meet my husband, it's who he is. With this shift I was able to go into online dating with a new perspective and trust that God can use any situation for me to meet my husband. Dating online isn't easy, but with the help of my dating coach I was able to put parameters around online dating to make it not so overwhelming and discouraging for me. I have complied those tips into a free guide for you to use yourself. It's called "Do's and Don'ts of Online Dating." If you would like this free guide, click here!

In this episode, I discuss the foundations of marriage according to a book I've been reading. It's call "Happy Wives Club" by Fawn Weaver. If you are a wife and haven't read this book, I encourage you to do so. She visits 12 countries, 6 continents, with 1 mission, to find the secret of marriage. She interviews a number of married couples and they all say the same secret! I dive into what the Bible says the role of a husband and wife are. I mention Ephesians 5:22, 25 saying wives submit to your husbands, and husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church. The world has taken these verses out of context. Women think they don't need a man and can stand in the role of a man. This is a wrong way of thinking. According to scripture, both play important roles in a marriage. If you are single, what I talk about in this episode is important to keep in mind and prepare your heart for what is to come. The way you can prepare is to have an intimate relationship with Jesus. Here is a link the the book "Happy Wives Club," by Fawn Weaver I offer one on one coaching for single women.

You may be thinking, will I ever meet someone worthwhile? Will it ever be my turn? Will dating lead me to meeting someone I want to spend the rest of my life with? The answer is YES! DO NOT SETTLE! I had a coworker tell me I needed to compromise what I was looking for in a partner. I’m so glad I didn’t listen to her. You do not need to compromise or settle. I know it can be hard. I had moments I would meet someone and think, I guess I could date this person, yet they didn’t have some key traits I was looking for in a partner. Do not settle. Do not lower your criteria just to be with someone. It’s not worth it! In this episode I share ways to not settle and to keep your expectations. Dating can be hard and discouraging at times. Don't give up! The right person will show up. It took me 10 years. I have some interesting stories around dating, but now I have the most amazing husband and it was all worth it!

Don't waste away the season you are in looking forward to the next one. Once I came to the realization that I could accomplish many goals I had and work on becoming the best version of myself, the more fulfilled, and purposeful I felt in my singleness.

I've now been married for 10 months, and my husband and I are happy and have a healthy relationship.

I chat with my friend Kristy about entrepreneurship, her business, singleness, and meeting our husbands later in life.  In this episode she shares about how and why she started her business. She had a dream at 15 years old of having a skin care line one day, and many years later her dream became a reality. This episode is filled with lots of wise nuggets and encouragement for those of you who are single and how to prepare.  Some things we shared God doesn't give us desires to be cruel Maximize the season you are in. Be happy in each season. It is not the job of the other person (spouse) to make you happy. Prepare yourself to be the best version of yourself you can be.  Continue to stay in faith. There’s a balance of staying present and wishing for what is ahead. It’s ok to have the down moments, why me? When is it going to happen for me? Trust God’s timing. You may be ready, but the other person may not. Singleness is a beautiful time. Use the time to focus on yourself. Self awareness is key. Allow God to be the author of your story. It's different than anyone else's. Visit Kristy's company and purchase Christmas gifts.

The number one thing to ensure you are in a healthy relationship… Do you know what it is???

Marriage does not complete you. It does not solve your problems. It does not fix things that need fixing. Single friend, I see you. You are enough. You are not forgotten. You are important. You are in a VERY important season you will never get back! Don't take it for granted. Don't wish it away for the next thing. Now is the time to do the things you've been wanting to do. You have no distractions, you don't have another person you need to split your time with. Now is the time to dive deep into your relationship with Jesus. He is waiting for you. Questions to reflect on: What is God teaching me in this season? Am I wishing away the season I am in? Am I focusing on my purpose, goals, dreams? Do I have a plan to accomplish those goals and dreams? The wait list for my Accelerated Dating Program is open for limited time! If you are a single woman and would benefit from group coaching to help you eliminate limiting beliefs, to become more confident in yourself, to prepare for a healthy relationship. This is for you!
