Today, Bridgett Blood talks with Nick and Rachel Charlton about how to date well!
Nick and Rachel have been married for 9 wonderful years and have two amazing children (and the cutest Shichon, Penny). They strongly believe that when Jesus is the center of a romantic relationship that it will stand the test of time, for better or for worse, and for richer or for poorer. No matter your past mistakes or your current circumstances, a love for the ages is possible! The best way to get there? Intentionally dating for the purpose of marriage in a way that is consistent with biblical principles. There are no perfect people so leave room for grace but - most importantly - make room for Jesus!
