Sitting down to put this Date Night Advice (DNA) post together in the afterglow of another blessed Christmas.
Not perfect, mind you.
For instance, I missed watching the new Star Wars movie this morning with the rest of my family, because one of my five kiddos came down with a fever last night.

After all, if these are the most-read posts you know it’s gotta be good.
#5: Sex, Love & John Crist
In the testimony of victims of sexual manipulation and abuse, there is a common misunderstanding I see arise time and time again.
That said, if you understand the truth behind this misconception, it can keep you from becoming the prey of a sexual predator.
And if you share this truth with someone else, it could save them from falling for the lie too.

#1: Is it Better to Marry than to Burn?
The most-read post in our countdown two years running addresses another kind of heat: the burning passion that drives many into sexual sin.
Of course, Paul says that if you cannot exercise self-control you should marry. And, armed with this admonition, many have made a mad dash to the altar.

DNA: It’s What’s For Dating
Dug this weekend’s DNA? Be a good friend and share with your friends on the social media platform of choice: Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, or Twitter.
The LoveEd discipleship series, Beyond Sex & Salvation, will empower you to prepare for relational success when it counts: BEFORE you fall in love!
It’s NOT for couples, but for any wise individual who thinks they might want to get married sometime before they die. And would like to learn how to better build healthy relationships in the meantime.
Check out all three study guides in our store. You can walk through them on your own, but it’s more fun with friends (that and it kinda makes sense to grow in relational success in actual relationships with others), so consider putting together an FMU LoveEd small group study.
Even better? And ask a rock star married couple you respect to lead it!
