Standards, Being Pursued, and Co-Parenting Through Divorce

Live in Birmingham on Tonight’s Conversation, the panel answers audience questions about dating and relationships. Kim asks what it means when a man wants a woman to “act like” he’s her man without commitment; the hosts call it manipulation and a bid for girlfriend benefits while keeping options open, urging women to keep standards, stop accepting crumbs, and leave misaligned situations. Another question explores what it looks like biblically to be pursued without chasing, using standards and the story of Ruth and Boaz to argue women should be “findable” and receptive while men pursue. The episode also addresses Marcus’s divorce after 14 years, including false accusations, infidelity, and his wife’s pregnancy, advising structured, court-ordered co-parenting focused on protecting the children and discussing potential financial support.
