Dating Doesn’t Mean Disconnection From God

You started the relationship with joy. The butterflies were flying, prayers were loud, and everything felt like a dream come true.

But slowly, your devotion to God started fading. Your prayer life grew cold. The fire you once had started burning low, all because of love.

Get on the seat and let’s gist. Look, it’s easy to get so caught up in someone that you forget the One who gave them to you.

Dating was never supposed to pull you away from God; it’s supposed to pull you both closer to Him. Any relationship that weakens your spiritual life is not a blessing; it’s a distraction.

Romans 12:11 says, “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” That means even while dating, your fire should still be burning. Your altar should still be alive.

If your relationship is costing you your connection with God, it’s too expensive. Love shouldn’t make you skip devotionals. It shouldn’t make you hide. It shouldn’t silence your convictions. True love doesn’t compete with God.

Don’t fall for the lie that says, “It’s just a season” or “It will get better.” Many have carried spiritual dryness into marriage because they never checked it during dating.

Pray together, yes. Also, pray alone.

Talk about your future, yes. Also, grow in your personal walk.

Love them deeply, but love God deeper.

You don’t have to choose between love and fire. You can have both when the relationship is built on the right foundation.

So, if you feel your fire slipping;

• Pause
• Reconnect
• Return to your first love.

No matter how amazing they are, only God can satisfy your soul. You’re not just dating for fun, you’re dating for purpose, and purpose starts with staying connected to the One who holds it all together.

Shalom!
