The Romantic reformation

Dating Culture Is Broken. God Is Not.

We are watching a generation burn through relationships and call it freedom. Endless options—Disposable intimacy—Romance stripped of responsibility

And then we’re surprised by the wreckage.

God of the Romantic exists to confront the cultural lies.

Not gently—Not quietly—But faithfully

God never designed romantic love to be casual. He designed it to be creative—to build life, lineage, and legacy. When culture removed God from romance, it didn’t make love safer. It made it hollow.

We know that we know, GOD IS A MATCHMAKER.

Not in theory—in practice and in theology…yes, we can prove it biblically. He transforms people as He aligns couples. He orders desire before He fulfills it. He protects life before He promises pleasure.

We know it is not popular. It is biblical. For years, we refused the wide road. We didn’t date out of fear. We didn’t settle out of pressure. We didn’t outsource discernment to chemistry or algorithms. We waited with God. And waiting cost us something.

It cost approval—It cost comfort—It cost the illusion of control—But it did not cost us life.

In the waiting, God dismantled what would have toxified love later. He healed wounds. Corrected appetites. Sharpened obedience which is His love language. And then—only when His timing was complete did He join together what He had been preparing all along. This is not a fairytale, but a love story experience of biblical porportions.

We are unapologetically PRO-LIFE.

Not as a slogan—but as a biblical standard and a personal experience in choosing life as a “hardcase”. We believe romantic love must protect life—before it creates it. We believe romance that consumes without covenant is not romantic at all. We believe desire without discipline leaves destruction and abandon in its wake.

We’ve been set apart to bring a Romantic Reformation.

We are not here to make singleness comfortable or dating easier. We are here to call people back to a love that costs something because it’s powerful to create something and little someones. If you’re looking for validation in culture’s ways in the romantic, this will not be the place to find it.

But if you’re looking for truth—a way out of the psychology of the romantic—into a divine love that leads to life—Welcome to the reformantion, the return to the theology of the romantic!

And they said it would never happen…

So, Who is Gary & Kim Elliot anyway?

We’re not commenting on the psychologies of romantic love—we’re taking you into the theology of romantic love: God’s ways in the romantic…

Before God of the Romantic was a teaching space, it was a personal conviction. We chose to trust God with our romantic lives when it was misunderstood, inconvenient, and often lonely. We waited when culture said hurry. We chose faith in His ways and His words to us when desire wanted control.

Those years were not empty. They were filled with transformation—deep intimacy with Christ, healing where love had been broken, clarity of purpose, and a strengthening of faith that did not collapse under delay. When God brought us together, it wasn’t rushed or accidental. It was recognizably ordered. Mature. We felt the “fit” immeadiatley. Covered in peace. Not perfect—but anchored.

Our love story is not our brand. It’s our responsibility. We teach what we have studied and lived out. We guard what we’ve been given. And we refuse to sell a version of love we wouldn’t stake our own lives on. We are not posers. We are not the stop-the-scroll eye-candy. We’re vintage, hard-core followers of Christ, tested and tried and have come out of our single-era deeply rooted, full of gold nuggets on love and LIFE to give you.

We rebelled the cultural ways of the romantic and it shows. We’re here because we believe God still transforms people as He forms divine unions—and that love rooted in His ways creates life of love and purpose that lasts until death parts.
