Dating and Marriage: Let's Talk!

Devotional Talk by Monica Kauwe and John S.K. Kauwe III | May 7, 2024

"The foundational principle of dating and covenant marriage is personal preparation."

“If you find yourself marking time waiting for a marriage prospect, stop waiting and start preparing. Prepare yourself for life—by education, experience, and planning. Don’t wait for happiness to be thrust upon you. Seek out opportunities for service and learning. And most important, trust in the Lord, ‘calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come.’ And I promise as you do, happiness will come to you.”
Sister Kristen M. Oaks
