Sex, Abstinence, and Learning to Do Relationships God's Way

Can you honor God in your dating life without sacrificing your desire for love, connection, and intimacy? For many Christians, navigating dating, sexual abstinence, and the desire for a healthy relationship can bring up some difficult questions. How do you stay committed to your convictions when you're afraid they might cost you the relationship you want? And what happens when it's finally time to transition from abstinence to intimacy in marriage? In this episode of The Cozy Place Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Emily McKnight, whose personal experiences, research, and work as a coach have given her a unique perspective on Christian dating, sexual purity, and building healthy relationships. We explore the beliefs that shape how we approach love and sex, the challenges of doing relationships God's way, and why preparing for marriage involves more than simply finding the right person. Whether you're single, dating, or preparing for marriage, this conversation may challenge how you think about faith, relationships, and intimacy—and encourage you to consider what it really means to trust God with this part of your life.
