Christian dating questions that stay honest
Dating questions go wrong when they either stay cute forever or rush intimacy the relationship has not earned.
Spill’s dating pack is written for discernment: how someone follows Jesus, how they repair, what they do with fear, and whether a relationship deepens faith or distracts from it. The cards are meant to stay tender without becoming a trap.
Use light starters on an early date. Use honest questions when you need clarity. Keep the deep cards for a relationship that already has some weight — and if you are engaged, the engaged pack is more specific about covenant, money, and the first year.

Questions people ask
What should Christian couples talk about early?
How they handle conflict, what church actually looks like in a week, and whether they can tell the truth without managing the other person. Chemistry is a weak substitute for that.
Are these purity questions?
Some are. The pack is written to protect the relationship, not to flirt around the edges of it. If a question starts to feel like a test, stop and say so.
Can engaged couples use this too?
Yes, but Spill also has an Engaged pack for covenant prep: money, roles, intimacy, and ordinary married life. Draw from that deck when the wedding is no longer hypothetical.
