In today's episode, we're diving into an important conversation about relationships—how to recognize real friendships from faux ones, and why understanding the Relationship Ladder is crucial for dating, friendships, and beyond. Inspired by a recent marriage retreat and my latest blog post, “Friend or Faux,” we'll explore the five rungs of the relationship ladder: Knowledge, Recreation, Emotion, Spiritual, and Physical. We'll talk about which apply to all relationships and which are reserved for marriage. Plus, I'll share why I raised the dating age for my youngest to 18 and how we can help our kids—and ourselves—navigate relationships with biblical wisdom and clarity. Don't miss this one—it's foundational.
