The Grief and Relief of Obedience in Dating
The Grief and Relief of Obedience in Dating  
Podcast: With The Perrys
Published On: Mon Nov 10 2025
Description: Lean into part two of the Perrys’ conversation with Melody and CD Fabien for even more real talk on dating discipleship. They unpack what healthy boundaries look like – whether you’re dating later in life or after a previous marriage – and share why they believe couples should enjoy long dating seasons and short engagements. CD challenges men to consider what true, Christ-like leadership looks like in dating, with the reminder that Scripture calls both husbands and wives to “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” The Fabiens also acknowledge that godly dating often involves discernment and sometimes grief-filled obedience, yet they encourage singles that even in those hard moments, peace can be found in the pain.Scripture references: Ephesians 5:211 Thessalonians 4:3-6This Episode is Sponsored by:https://gominno.com — Get your first month FREE when you use code PERRY at sign up.
