Love Isn’t Enough: Why Faith, Values & Calling Must Align

You can be deeply in love with someone and still be completely misaligned. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the fifth step of the PREPARE for Love Series framework: Alignment of Faith, Values, and Calling.

Because let’s be real—chemistry can’t carry a marriage. If your spiritual foundation, core values, and life direction don’t line up, love alone won’t be enough to hold you together.

In this episode, we’re talking biblical truth, real-life lessons, and how to fix your “picker” by learning to recognize true alignment.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why 2 Corinthians 6:14 and Amos 3:3 matter deeply in dating
• The biggest mistake Christian women make when assessing compatibility
• The 3 alignment pillars you MUST check before moving forward

1. Faith – Is Jesus truly Lord of his life?

2. Values – Do we agree on core life choices (family, money, roles)?

3. Calling—Are we moving in the same direction spiritually and practically

• How to stop relying on chemistry and start choosing with wisdom
• How alignment brings peace—and misalignment creates tension.

✅ Checkpoint Challenge (Your Weekly Action Step):

Ask God in prayer:

“Would this person help me walk more closely with Christ and pursue the calling on my life?”

Write down what God reveals. And if you’re unsure, bring it to a mentor or spiritual friend for counsel. Clarity comes when you invite wise voices and God’s truth into the process.
