What are your expectations for a relationship? What do you think your significant other should look like, be like, act like? During this episode, I'd like to discuss the ways in which we frequently become extremely disappointed due to our often-unrealistic expectations. Please join me!

I recently heard a gal say, "I don't really want to date. I just want to fall in love and get married." Reality check! With very few exceptions, there really is no way of getting around the dating process. Join me as we discuss what it is that makes us 'date-able' or not!

It's storytime, everyone! Come have a laugh with my co-host in crime, Mike T., as we share a few personal "disaster date" stories from each of our dating lives. (I'm guessing there are at least a few of you who just might be able to relate..!) We'll also read emails from listeners who were bold enough to share their stories with us, as well. Don't miss the fun!

During this episode, I'll have a special guest with me, friend and fellow chick flick expert, Leslie, to continue our discussion on the various themes and schemes of some of our favorite girlie films. Don't miss the fun!

Ladies - be honest. Do you have a hard time receiving compliments? Or perhaps you feel guilty when someone gives you a gift for no reason, or does something for you just to show they care. Do you realize that you're blocking yourself from close relationships when you don't fully receive these things? We'll discuss this in detail, and prayerfully consider how we might be self-protecting when we're not receiving.

We'll be discussing some of the finer points of our favorite chick flicks -- what we can gain from them as far as dating and relationships go, and what we need to leave behind! We'll uncover situations and dialogue from When Harry Met Sally, Runaway Bride, Something's Gotta Give - just to name a few. ("He's Just Not that Into You" may need to be an entire episode in and of itself!)Hope you can join us!

Don't miss part II of our Q&A session with our go-to guy, Mike T.! We'll continue our conversation, addressing your questions on what at least one guy's perspectives are on dating and relationships.

Mike, our go-to guy, will be answering your questions about the Christian dating life! Thanks to so many of you who submitted your questions. Mike and I sat down for about an hour and only got through 4 of them, so we'll definitely have a Q&A session, part II on our next show!

My special guest for this episode will be my friend Mike, a Christian single guy, who is "navigating the treacherous waters of dating and relationships" along with the rest of us! He'll give us some insightful perspectives on what a guy might think or feel when it comes to women and dating. Don't miss it!

What is my motivation in looking for a mate? Am I looking for someone to fulfill my life - to 'complete' me? Is my "soul mate" really out there?In this episode, I'll have a special guest joining me. My brother Norman, married for 15 years with 3 children, is currently a Bible Study Fellowship leader in Colorado Springs. Norman will help give us the Biblical perspective on these issues and challenge and encourage us to live and walk as Jesus did.

So you’re currently single. Congratulations - you represent 51% of the population! (According to the Barna Group, www.barna.org) No need to be ashamed or embarrassed. No need to feel like singleness is a disease and marriage is the cure! We're the majority!What makes me so sad is when I meet Christian singles who feel like they’re somehow sub-par; that they’re less than worthy, they’re not normal…… either that or they get into the ‘something’s wrong with me’ mentality. Ok – I admit it – I’ve felt that way at one time or another in my solo life. And it’s ok to be real with God and wrestle with Him on these issues. But, friends, we have to remember that marriage is just another season of life. People who get married are not superior to those of us who are unmarried. We don’t “graduate” from our single life into being a part of a married couple. We don’t suddenly become supreme beings as married people! Aren’t we all equal in God’s Kingdom? Don’t we all have a purpose in life as Christians, whether married or single? The answer is, of course, yes, there’s room for both of us! And we, as solo artists (so to speak), have a lot to offer!
