E61 Character Over Chemistry: The Key to Strong Relationships

If someone had to marry you right now—would they be getting a great deal or a fixer-upper? 😬

Turns out, the secret isn’t in finding the perfect person but in becoming the person you’d want to marry! In this episode, we dive into a powerful (and slightly humbling) truth: the character traits you seek in a partner should be the ones you’re cultivating in yourself. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married, this conversation will challenge you to look inward and ask, Am I becoming the kind of person I’d want to commit to for life?

We unpack the wisdom of adopting godly characteristics and how mirroring Christ’s traits in our own lives leads to stronger, healthier relationships. Through scripture, real-life insights, and a few good laughs, we explore how faith, trust, loyalty, and kindness aren’t just qualities to look for in a spouse—they’re the very traits that shape a Christ-centered marriage (or prepare you for one).

If you're tired of the never-ending search for “the one,” maybe it's time to refocus. Instead of checklist dating, let’s talk about how God transforms us as we seek His kingdom first—because the right relationship starts with a heart anchored in Him. Tune in for encouragement, practical wisdom, and a fresh perspective on what it means to truly prepare for love.

Matthew 6:33-34... But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
