QUIZ: Is It Time To Give Up Dating?

by Becky RoachLove and Relationships, Morals & Values, Quizzes, Vocation

Our culture sends us so many messages about who we should date, how we should date, and why we should date that it can be difficult to find the truth for ourselves. Once we enter the dating scene, we quickly find out that dating and relationships aren’t always as glamorous and simple as the movies portray them to be.

Whether you are an experienced dater or just beginning, it can be helpful to take some time to evaluate and reflect on your reasons for wanting to be in a relationship. For some, that may mean stepping away to find clarity.

This quiz will guide you through a reflection on your past dating experiences and the views that are important to you with the hopes of challenging you to consider a dating fast during Lent.
