  • Y’all trying to get real for a sec? Why is sacrificing something we want a bad thing? Hang in there with me…A healthy person has countless desires. I WANT, I WANT, I WANT. Each day brings a new opportunity for us to allow what our “heart” wants to control our conversations, habits, and amount of happiness we feel. But a person who is sick typically has one desire. To be healthy. One thing. One want. Isn’t it weird that a person can have just one desire and that be enough for them? It doesn’t have to be a Christmas wish list of several items and if you get each one then you will be happy. Now before I get off track, I don’t want the focus to be on how many things you want, but I mentioned that so you see that desiring less can still lead people to feel happy. And on that topic specifically, I GENUINELY think that we will experience MORE Joy and Happiness by cutting out the “need” for things to fill us, then actually obtaining them. Let me say that again for the people in the back. I am mentioning two routes too feeling “happy”. 1. Get all the stuff you think you need = Feel happy. And 2. Cut down on things you want = Feel happy. And What I am saying is #2 will bring you MORE joy. Sacrificing things you want can lead to GOOD THINGS.
    Anyways, I feel like I had my sassy girlblogger hat on, but it just hit different today lol.
    We love y’all and hope you feel so encouraged by the boundary series we are making… If you have read this far, consider supporting us by sharing the video, or just simply liking and commenting! It helps our channel grow so much and we can’t do it with you!

      This is not true. The blood of Christ makes us holy. There is no shortcut to repentance. Believing a person or a relationship can make you holy is idolatry and is breaking the 10 commandments. Don’t fall for the hype, beloved. Be strong in discernment. Test each prophet by the Holy Spirit.

    Been in a relationship for 4 years and we are finally setting boundaries. It is much harder going backwards/moving forward this way. Much harder. It’s so hard because we have already crossed the line, i feel we are going to have to change our whole lives now because the temptation is real. Please pray for strength and for guidance and conviction from God alone. We both love the Lord and my biggest desire is that we put Him first...Thank you brothers and sisters 🙏🏻❤️

    "Boundaries are meant to protect you and set you up for success in your marriage. The better boundaries you have in dating the more fruitful your marriage is going to be because you're not going to walk into marriage with the baggage of what you wish you had done while you were dating."

    I had never considered the difference between praying as a unit and praying as individuals within a unit until yesterday when talking to a friend and now watching this video and hearing you guys mention it again, I would really love to hear more about what you guys have to say on that topic.
    I really loved what you guys had to say about building that strong foundation in friendship... I've experienced a lot of pressures throughout my time at college (as well as a lot of my friends) to enter straight into more of a romantic relationship or having that expectation of being boyfriend and girlfriend sooner than I'm comfortable with. Hearing the amount of value you guys place on building a strong friendship first is so reassuring.

    One emotional boundary I hold, No Shared Fantasizing about Being Married/Having Kids. If we're early in the dating phase and he starts saying "I imagine us living in Pasadena with a hammock in the back yard and 2 children-" I'll shut it down. Delving into those fantasies too early can be disastrous for the heart if our being married isn't in God's plan!

That's the most important thing to me, I value peace of mind like this world values money. & the friendship; do I actually like you as a person, do I enjoy your mind and your conversation? Movies have hoodwinked us into thinking passion is the be all, but passion is fleeting. Peace is stable, & stability equals longevity. Peace>passion

    I sort of disagree with the notion that, "your spouse is not meant to fulfill your alone-ness." Because in the beginning, God did say, "It is not good for man to be alone." That being said, I do want to emphasize this point - Yes, your spouse can be a source of companionship. BUT do not rely on them to fulfill that place in your heart that only God was meant to fulfill - not your friends, not your family, not your spouse, only God Himself can fill that void. Because, I'm sure all married people can attest to this: your spouse will not be perfect. Nor will he or she be able to always live up to the romanticized thoughts you may be having about marriage. Only Christ/God/the Holy Spirit is perfect. You cannot expect any human to fulfill that area in your soul that only He can fulfill.
    Is it wrong to have companionship in your marriage? No! God said, "it is not good for man to be alone, so I will make a companion suitable for him." BUT, when you start to place your relationship with your spouse (or anyone) above God, and place expectations on them that only God can fulfill, that's not fair to your spouse (or anyone else). And if you take it too far, can become a source of idolatry if you're placing your spouse(or anyone else) above God.

    Thank you guys for your videos! I had always thought I was religious. I believed in god and went to church growing up until I hit 18 yrs old but never followed him like I do now. I am 28 years old and have been in 3 long term relationships throughout the last 10 years. I am currently going on one year of a season of singleness which is the most I have been alone. This past year has been crazy in getting to know god and knowing he is real. He has come through for me with many answers and is telling me to be patient for a lot of things. I have never been so happy in my life! Your videos are always great to listen to and apply them to life.

But now, I'm even more aware and more convinced with the way I always believed because I know it's the best thing for me and that I wouldn't end up regretting things after.

    Dear Tori and Chad,
    Thank you for all the wisdom and encouragement you’ve poured out in this video. I really needed to hear them. The point that stood out to me the most was the “not praying as a unity while dating” and I think that’s so interesting and has brought a new perspective because it’s so easy to be dependent on someone else when it comes to ur walk with the Lord esp when you’re not united under the same covenant yet. Thank you for sharing. Love your wisdom! Keep doing what you’re doing.

    When me and my now husband were dating we set our boundaries upfront but then every few months would discuss boundaries again to see if anything had changed in what we felt our boundaries were the more we got into our relationship. We would pray about it separately and reflect and then discuss. For instance in the beginning I was a very huggy person I've always been a hugger growing up but when he told me he wasn't big on hugging I respected that and we didn't hug until we had a discussion that he said he was ok with hugging. And we did that for every step even hand holding which a lot of friends of ours didn't understand why we had to discuss something as "small" as hugging or handholding.

    I’m a huge believer in real practical boundaries so of course I’ve watched A LOT of “Christian dating boundaries” videos and I have to say this is probably my favorite✨the way you explained everything was so beautiful and real and it was showing boundaries from the peaceful/protective angle rather than depriving/suffering angle and I loved it!💖can’t wait to watch the rest of the series💖

    I’m gonna watch this video over and over again. I listened to this video while taking a walk today and I literally started crying. It was so freeing to breathe in some fresh air and just listen to a topic that I never been taught. I’ve always been so confused on how to set boundaries but it’s something I’ve longed to do. Thank you so much right now. I’m literally sobbing right now but it’s like tears of joy and gratitude for all that God has brought me through. Thank you so much for sharing this and being open to God using you as his beautiful vessels. Much love - Maya 🤎

    I really liked the aspect of not praying together as a unit before marriage. I've never heard it explained as well as you guys have explained it.
    Also the whole aspect of looking at your significant other realistically and since love is blind this means hanging out in a group. That's AMAZING cause honestly sometimes it's as though we never move past the crush stage.
    Y'all really brought in this video. So much wisdom and INSIGHT!!!!
    Love you both and I can't wait for Monday!!!!!

    I really appreciate that you both addressed the emotional boundaries with such wisdom and boldness. It is something that is not talked about often enough especially from Christian RUclipsrs! 🙌 It reminds me of Proverbs 4:23 - something that I had to learn the hard way. I also really appreciate your perspective on Spiritual boundaries - I have never heard that in a sermon/community group/etc! Thanks y’all for great content 👏

    Woah!! What a wonderfullll video... The boundaries series is hands down the bestest series ever!! The relatibility of the sharings resonated soooo much. The proverbs shared were so apt and in line with whatever you were saying. In lieu with Chad's previous encouragement, the wait was sooooo worth it.
    I loved the flow of the conversation and how beautifully you two touched on all 3 aspects of boundaries in dating... especially the discipline part. Thank you for reassuring that delayed gratification has its fruits and that we must be patient throughout.
    Boundaries do not handcuff us but bind us for a better tomorrow..life does not take from us anything unless there is something else imminently awaiting its replacement.
    I am sooooo looking forward to the upcoming parts as well... Thank you tons for doing this for us. You'll are the bestest! ♥

I was fearing a conversation about boundaries but your advice has given me a lot of peace! Thanks again for sharing!

I’m 50, been single for a long hot minute which has allowed me to draw near and closer to God with my walk and relationship with Him and I love it because I have a new clean slate on how I will approach relationship according to God’s will...my past relationships were all done according to the world...now I am motivated to approach it according to God and how you handled your relationship is definitely how I would like to enter relationship....being 50 yes I would love to find someone but I am just fine it being me and God only for however long....and He will always be my first heart I seek no matter what. Thank you both for this...such a blessing.

    Boundaries can also be not good, too. I met a guy when I moved to go to college that I really liked, but it didn't work because his boundaries were as tall as the Great Wall of China. He had so many, but he never would tell me when I went past his boundaries (he would just stop talking to me if I crossed them). Eventually, I got tired of feeling like I was talking to myself. He was never interested because he "was too busy", he told me this, and then just ghosted me. I realized later that the maybe relationship and friendship, too, must not have meant that much to him if he made no effort.
