Kingdom principle
Guarding the heart is active, not passive. Clarity, honesty and boundaries protect both people.

- ♕Agree on boundaries in daylight, together.
- ♕Invite a mature couple or leader into the relationship's life.
What to avoid
- —Assuming shared expectations.
- —Ignoring what you already see.
- —Isolating the relationship from community.
Prayer
Lord, give us clarity and honesty. Guard our hearts and our future. Amen.
