SEASONS TO NOTE WHEN DATING
Not Every “Sweet” Season Leads To Marriage!
Dating isn’t just a straight road to the altar. It comes in seasons, and if you’re not discerning, you may commit to the wrong person or leave someone right for you.
Here are the 4 key seasons every dating couple goes through and what to watch out for:
1. THE HONEY SEASON (Excitement Phase)
This is when everything feels perfect. The frequent late-night calls, butterflies in your tummy, sweet words, constant attention, and nothing is ever wrong about this person at this phase.
They seem like your answered prayer and the best thing that has ever happened to you.
At this phase, you need to be aware of those that show their best side, not their real side.
NEVER make long-term decisions in this phase. Enjoy it, but stay alert.
2. THE STORMY SEASON (Conflict Phase)
Here, disagreements begin to arise. You begin to see attitudes, temper, communication style and how they react under pressure.
This is the time to note if they handle conflict with maturity or manipulation.
You should find out if both of you talk things through respectfully.
This season reveals emotional intelligence, which is a must for marriage.
3. THE SILENT SEASON (Distance Phase)
At this phase, the energy suddenly drops. Calls are reduced. Excitement fades, and It feels like something’s wrong.
This is when to find out if you are emotionally connected beyond physical attraction.
Do you still enjoy each other’s company without constant entertainment?
This season tests depth. It is at this point that shallow relationships usually die.
4. THE DECISION SEASON (Clarity Phase)
This is the phase where you see them clearly. Their strengths, weaknesses, and patterns.
At this phase, you need to evaluate if you are aligned spiritually, emotionally and mentally?
Do you share the same values, goals, and faith convictions?
This is where you decide if this person is your future spouse or just a distraction.
However, you need to know that if you introduce s.e.x too early, these seasons become harder to discern, your judgement may be biased, emotions get clouded and red flags get ignored. You will begin to confuse lust for love.
Dating is not a game, it’s preparation for destiny.
