Does Faith In God Mean Ignoring Logic When It Comes to Romtic Love?

We recently got a comment on TikTok in response to a clip from episode 15 of our series, where we talked about the importance of “revelation” in romantic decisions—specifically in the story of Isaac and Rebekah. The viewer asked a fair question: “Aren’t we supposed to use logic? God gave us brains to think critically, right?”

Totally valid. And honestly, if you’ve only seen the clip and not the full episode, we get how that might come off confusing or even extreme. But this is a conversation worth diving into, because it’s something so many people wrestle with—especially when it comes to love.

Let’s zoom out and look at the full story. Abraham sensed it was time for Isaac to get married, so he sent his servant 500 miles back to his homeland to find a wife—not just “any” wife, but the one God “revealed”. The servant prays to God for the right girl to show up and respond in a specific way so he’ll know it’s God’s choice. And before he’s even finished praying, Rebekah was already on her way—before he even asked. That’s how in sync God is.

Their conversation confirmed she was the one. It wasn’t years of dating, analyzing compatibility, or building a spreadsheet of pros and cons. It was minutes of supernatural clarity after a 500 mile journey in faith.

Now imagine this: You’re standing between two amazing people. You’re equally attracted to both, they both love God, and you could build a solid life with either one. Logically, either one is a great pick. So… how do you choose?

This is where “revelation” becomes everything. When logic has done all it can, when the options are equal, what breaks the tie? You ask God. Not because He’s going to control you—but because He actually “knows you” better than you do. He sees your future, your blind spots, and the ripple effect of who you come into relationship with.

Do we throw logic out the window? No, we use our logic to remember the ways of God in the romantic. We remember the loves stories where God set up Adam with Eve, Isaac with Rebekah, and Boaz with Ruth. These are the stories we draw our faith into God to divinely align us with His choice. Logic returns the question of who is His best for us to God for His answer. We are a new race of humans who no longer rely upon our own understanding, we live by faith, by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

At the end of the day, logic cannot secure a divine confidence, only revelation can do that.
