Summary

Let's talk about spicing up your dating life! We have to do things different to increase connection! Whether we want to admit it or not, sometimes things can get a little stale in our dating lives… On today’s MINISODE, Kait sits down with Matt Jones to first & foremost laugh a TON, and second, walk you through what they think are 3 different stages of dating. Then in proper form, they thoroughly discuss fun different date ideas for these various stages (laughing required). To review the Dating Stages: Stage 1- Get to know one another phase. Take the pressure off and get to know someone for who GOD made them to be. Stage 2- DTR it up! AKA, Define the Relationship. Be Clear, honest, intentional. Get a little deeper with the conversation & slowly reveal vulnerability. Stage 3- In it to win it. You are doing relationship work, probably on the trajectory for marriage… but have to continue to be creative with your dates. We hope you are encouraged by this fun and practical episode!
