Dating. When we hear that word, each of us conjures up a set of things that we associate with it. For some it might be frustration. Others may think of loneliness. Yet, others may feel excitement and anticipation. The truth is that being single, dating, and preparing for marriage can be all of these things.
World-renowned Christian music artist, author, spokesperson, and actress Rebecca St. James knows all too well how difficult and challenging the road to marriage can be. Through her own patient journey through years of waiting for her husband, Rebecca held unswervingly to her beliefs, faith, and trust in God’s plan and purpose for that area of her life. Now recently married to her husband, Jacob Fink, Rebecca has powerful insight into the unique passage to marriage.
At the end of September, Rebecca released her ninth book called What Is He Thinking? In this book she sits down with several guys to discuss relationships and learn about a guy’s perspective on this crazy thing called dating. What is He Thinking? explores a lot of the questions and mysteries surrounding men, love, dating, and the pursuit of marriage. Recently I sat down with Rebecca to “pick her brain” on her new book, personal thoughts, and life as a married lady.

Rebecca, you obviously endured a patient journey to marriage. What was that experience like for you?
Definitely a challenging and honorable one, waiting a lot longer for this season of marriage than I wanted. I think dating and being single is a vulnerable time in your life no matter how you slice the cake. It’s a difficult thing to navigate because you’re kind of putting your heart out there on some level, and you’re also trying to guard your heart while honoring God. There are so many questions, such as, “Could this person that I’m with be the one for me?” It’s just a difficult thing to navigate, and it’s something that really needs to be covered in prayer.
For me, it was a difficult and reasonably lonely time in my life. I think being single, and even when you are in a relationship, there are so many questions that go along with the process of dating, that it can leave you feeling kind of lonely. You just don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m glad to be in this new season of my life right now, able to look back on it, and just speak to other people saying, “It’s worth the wait.” It really is.
