  8 Subtle Habits That Quietly Kill Respect (And How to Stop Them) By Coach Davie | Davecha Moments Respect is one of the most valuable currencies in relationships, leadership, and personal growth. The challenge is that it’s rarely lost through one dramatic mistake—it’s usually chipped away by small, unnoticed habits. The tragedy? You may never know it’s happening. People don’t always confront you when your behavior lowers their respect. Instead, they quietly adjust how they see you and treat you. As a coach, I’ve seen how subtle daily behaviors —even those born out of good intentions—can unintentionally erode credibility, influence, and trust. Let’s uncover eight habits that may be costing you respect without your awareness. 1. Over-Explaining Your Decisions Have you ever made a simple choice—like declining an invitation or picking a restaurant—then launched into a long explanation of why ? While you think it makes you sound thorough, it can actually communicate insecurity. The mo...

Christian Relationship Advice: You Weren’t Made to Crawl—You Were Born to Soar (By Coach Davie – Godly Relationship Coaching Blog) Are You Living Below God’s Design for Love and Marriage? Imagine an eagle—majestic, powerful—created to soar above storms. Now imagine that eagle scratching in the dirt with chickens, convinced it was never meant to fly. That’s how many singles and couples live today—settling for less than God’s design for love and marriage . As a Christian relationship coach, I see it every week: people stuck in unhealthy dating patterns or marriages because they’ve lowered their standards out of fear. Here’s the truth: God created you for more. You weren’t made to crawl—you were born to soar. Christian Relationship Struggles: The Ground-Level Trap When you settle for less than God’s best, you: Date out of fear instead of faith. Compromise your values to avoid loneliness.

The truth is, marriage is one of the most significant commitments you’ll ever make. It’s a covenant designed by God—not something to rush into because of pressure, age, or loneliness. If you want a marriage that thrives, not just survives, you must prepare well . Today, let’s talk about 5 clear signs your relationship is ready for marriage based on biblical principles and practical wisdom. 1.

Story: “The Half-Eaten Mango”

  Story: “The Half-Eaten Mango” By Coach Davie. In a quiet town, Amani and Nia—newly married, deeply in love, but still learning each other—were settling into their new rhythm of life. One evening, Nia came home drained. It had been that kind of day—the kind that makes you crave comfort. She walked into the kitchen and saw a ripe mango sitting on the counter. It was her favorite fruit, her soft spot, and for a brief moment, her heart lifted. But as she picked it up, her joy vanished. Half of it was gone. Seriously? He couldn’t even leave me a whole mango? She didn’t say a word. She simply sat down, her energy now clouded by silent disappointment. Amani walked in moments later, cheerful. “Hey babe, welcome back! I’ve missed you.” Nia barely looked up. “Mmh.” He noticed her energy had shifted. “Something wrong?” She snapped, “You couldn’t even leave me the whole mango? After the day I’ve had?” Amani was taken aback. But instead of defending himself immediately, he paused. Then gentl...

DEALING WITH RED, YELLOW & GREEN FLAGS IN RELATIONSHIPS

  DEALING WITH RED, YELLOW & GREEN FLAGS IN RELATIONSHIPS By Coach Davie – Davecha Moments INTRODUCTION One of the biggest mistakes people make in relationships is ignoring the signs. Sometimes, it’s because we’re so hungry for love that we silence our gut. Other times, we don’t know what to look for—or worse, we mistake red flags for normal behavior because we grew up around dysfunction. But listen, just because something is common doesn't mean it's healthy. And just because you love someone doesn’t mean you should stay. In this Love Talk, I want to walk with you through something I wish every single and dating couple knew: the power of red, yellow, and green flags in relationships. These “flags” are more than just popular lingo—they are tools to help you make wise, godly, and emotionally safe choices when it comes to love. Whether you're single, dating, courting, or mentoring someone who is, this will help you see clearly what many ignore—until it’s too late. Let’s ...

When Love Becomes a Trap: Toxic Women and How to Rise Above

When Love Becomes a Trap: Toxic Women and How to Rise Above By Coach Davie | DaveCha Moments I’ve sat across from too many men—strong, prayerful, gifted men—who are now just shadows of themselves. Not because they lacked direction. Not because they failed. But because they gave their heart to someone who slowly crushed it… in the name of love. Today’s article is not about bashing women. It’s about exposing toxicity —especially the kind that hides behind beauty, “wifey material” standards, or even spiritual masks. Let me tell you a true story. A young man came to me, completely broken. His girlfriend would insult him in public , control who he talked to, and always made herself the victim when he tried to express his feelings. Every fight ended with him apologizing—even when he wasn’t wrong. The girl was attractive, smart, and even served in church. But behind closed doors, she was emotionally manipulative. This young man kept saying, “Coach, I love her… but I feel like I’m losing mysel...
