Summary

Are you confusing butterflies for a foundation? In this episode, Kirk and his son get real about one of the biggest mistakes people make in dating — chasing chemistry while ignoring compatibility. They break down why that electric feeling you get on a first date isn't enough to build a life on, what Proverbs 31 actually teaches men about choosing a partner, and why the truest test of compatibility shows up not in the highlights of a relationship, but in the hard seasons. Whether you're single, dating, or just trying to make sense of modern relationships, this one's for you.
