Looking For The Middle: The Christian’s Guide to Modern Dating

Oh this is a great question and such a tricky thing to figure out sometimes! Every family and friend group is different, so there will always be some variations to this, but some things are just always a good idea! Those things are what we're talking about in this CouchCast.

CouchCast Countdown is here!! We're counting down to season 4 with a new CouchCast every weekday! This question is a great one! It looks specifically, in this case, at denominational differences and which ones are ok to compromise on and which ones aren't. Also, how submission to your husband would factor into that as well.

The final installment of our Winter Q&A series is here! We will be back next week with our Season 4 premiere! And in the meantime, we have a CouchCast countdown coming at you for the rest of this week and next week too! Questions for today... 1. How can you tell if Christian guys are into you or if they’re just being nice? 2. Why is it so hard to find a godly guy in the local church? 3. How do you...

We get a lot of questions about our personal lives, hobbies, interests...random stuff! So, we wanted to take a few minutes and answer some of them and let you get to know us a little bet better!

(spiritual, family, socio-economi...

We really got into this one! So much so that we only had time for two questions... They were a bit intense. 1. How do you still honor your parents when they don't completely approve of your significant other? 2. What is the best way/timing to bring up the conversation of physical boundaries?

Welcome back to another Q&A series! We're using this break between seasons to answer your questions. These are questions we have gotten that are a little more 'intensive' shall we say than a typical CouchCast so we're tackling them here. Today's questions are: 1.

This is our season finale and the final interview in our Men Tell All series! We have had such a great time with this series and learned so much too!

Today we're talking about love languages and does it really matter if you know yours, if you know your boyfriend's, and if you should talk about them or not.

Part 2 is here! We laughed a lot in the making of this episode and I think you guys will too! Gabe is hilarious, but quite insightful. We think you'll learn a lot about how guys think from him!

Here's our latest CouchCast! The question is "Whenever I start dating a new guy, he always ends up annoying me. Will I ever meet someone who doesn't at all?"   Enjoy! :D  

The day you've been waiting for is finally here! This is part one of our three part series digging into the minds of some of the men in our lives. Up first is Brett... he's Kristen's brother and this was definitely a fun one to record!

As you all know, we both went through break-ups this summer. Well, we've had time to process and reflect on that and now we're ready to talk about it. We're offering up some of the things we've learned and the perspective we've gained through all of this to hopefully be helpful to you if you have to walk this same road.

I think we can all relate to this on some level! Practical ideas (or more like, idea... haha one main idea for this one) comin' at you this week! :)

This week's episode is not what we had originally planned... we've been getting so many questions about flirting lately though that we bumped our original episode into next season and we're talking about flirting right here and now. This is a combination of answering your questions CouchCast style and then a regular episode all in one. Enjoy! :)
