How Do You Initiate a Relationship in a Godly Manner?

This question was asked by a reader recently. Off the cuff, I shall answer,

  • Treat your sister in Christ as a sister; and shortly after you’ve had some friendship with her: confess your godly, intentioned, romantic interest in her & ask her out—for the explicit purpose of discerning y’all’s possibility of marriage.

What Does a Biblical Relationship Look Like?  Scott Croft of Boundless writes about this very issue of Christian dating & biblical courtship: 

  1. Motive: to find a spouse.
  2. Mind-set: selfless, sacrificial service; ”How can I be the one for her?”
  3. Methods: commitment precedes intimacy.
