  • Discerning marriage review

    This is a lovely podcast for all stages of preparing for marriage. Hearing the talks and stories about different subjects is so helpful to sit and pray about in singlehood.

    P.S. I do miss the longer stories/podcast!

  • Told me a lot about myself

    This is my first time writing a review for a podcast and it is literally because this one is so good! There are super profound insights in each episode. I listened to the breakups part 2 and I would give a lot to go back and follow Elizabeth’s advice! Also, thank you for naming out the stages of grief. We all need that. And for being so you and personable!

Can Couples Have "Romantic Talk" Before Marriage?
Q: Is it okay for couples to have romantic conversations before marriage?
It's important to reflect on the intentions behind such conversations, as they should not lead to arousal without the ability to engage in marital union. If arousal is the goal, it's inappropriate.
