Stop letting surface-level assumptions blind you to lasting love.In this episode of The W Podcast, Tim & Pauline unpack the 7 green flags you’re ignoring in dating as a Christian. These are the overlooked qualities that don’t always feel “exciting” at first—like friendship, loyalty, or peace—but actually hold marriages together for the long run.If you’ve ever said things like:“We’re just too good of friends.”“They’re okay, but just not my type.”“Their page is boring.”“They’re a dry texter.”“The chemistry wasn’t there.”…then this video will challenge how you see attraction, help you date with clarity, and remind you what really matters for a godly relationship.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:The difference between sparks vs. substance in Christian dating- Why “your type” might be keeping you single longer than necessary- How emotional safety and peace are overlooked signs of attraction- Why social media doesn’t define someone’s real life or walk with God- How God’s standards of love often look different from cultural dating standardsWhy This Matters for Christian Singles:Dating advice often focuses on red flags. But the truth is, many Christian singles are overlooking people who would make great husbands or wives—because the world has discipled us to chase sparks, chemistry, and surface-level attraction.God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). When you learn to spot green flags, you’ll move from shallow connections to Christ-centered relationships that actually last.
We took a road trip to Chicago for our friend’s wedding 💍 — but somewhere between the playlists, deep dish pizza, The Bean, and traffic, we ended up learning a lot about love, marriage, and what dating really prepares you for.
Back when we were dating, we only ever did day trips as a Christian couple. No overnight vacations, no big getaways. At the time it felt small, but now that we’re married, we’re so grateful for it. This vlog is part road trip, part storytime, and part relationship wisdom — showing you why every Christian couple needs trips like this before marriage.
👉 Whether you’re dating, engaged, or newly married, this road trip vlog is packed with:
• Real conversations you can ask your partner on long drives 🚗
• Why “traveling before marriage” matters (and what we learned from only doing day trips)
• Behind-the-scenes of a Chicago wedding weekend 🎉
• Fun stops: Giordano’s deep dish pizza 🍕, Starbucks Reserve ☕, and The Bean ✨
We pray this encourages you to date fun & holy, stay pure, and build the kind of relationship that lasts.

We all think about being equally yoked when it comes to faith but what about “smaller” things like how much you serve, or if they go to church, or who their favorite online pastor is. All of those things add up to make a big impact in marriage so it is best to choose wisely in the dating stage
