Our goal is to provide you with perspective to help you build a healthy & godly relationship. New episode of "The W Podcast" drops every Tuesday! We are Tim & Pauline Wheeler. Before we met we were both in ungodly relationships that left us empty and hurt. This led us on individual journeys to learn God's way of dating. When we met we decided to have a relationship that honored God but was still fun and exciting! We eventually started helping other couples through small groups to learn to date God's way. We have been married since 2018 and have a beautiful son.
