What is Beyond Attraction ?

It's Time to Go Beyond Attraction

Dating can feel overwhelming when chemistry is strong, intentions are unclear, and every relationship seems to raise more questions than answers.

But finding a meaningful, faith-aligned relationship requires more than attraction. It requires discernment.

Dr. Emily McKnight introduces a different approach to dating—one grounded in biblical truth, supported by over 20 years of peer-reviewed research, and designed to help Christian women make more confident, intentional decisions about love.

Through her Beyond Attraction framework, Dr. Emily shares how to recognize the difference between chemistry and character, identify meaningful signs of spiritual alignment, and approach relationships without compromising personal values or faith.

This isn't about following another list of dating rules or waiting for the perfect person to appear.

It's about developing the clarity, wisdom, and discernment to recognize a relationship built on the right foundation.

Whether returning to dating, navigating new connections, or seeking a more intentional path toward marriage,

Because the goal isn't just to find someone. It's to discern someone whose character and faith truly align.

What others say about Me

Dr. Em helped me connect the dots between my faith, my patterns, and my behaviors in a way that felt safe but also stretching. I’ve realized this isn’t just about relationships with others—it’s about wholeness within yourself and your commitment to God.

I stumbled across Emily’s social media page from one of my friends who reposted something she posted on Instagram. I don’t remember what exactly the post was about but I knew this was someone that I needed to follow. I definitely believe it was a sign from God running across her post.

About Me

Dr. Emily McKnight

Author - Speaker - Relationship Coach

My Doctor of Philosophy in Family Studies and Masters of Arts in Psychology, combined with my spiritually-honed intuition, allows me to hear the hearts and spirits of my clients and bring them through a self-reflective discovery process to find themselves, God, and, ultimately, love.

After my own path to intentional dating was riddled with rocky relationships, heartbreaks, and hard lessons, I eventually embarked on a new journey to search my soul. In the process, I deepened my connection to Christ, discovered myself, and embraced a new approach to dating and love, including abstinence.

Now married to the man of my dreams, I transparently share my inspiring personal story to show other women that their happily ever after awaits too. From flirting to following God to the altar, I meet women where they are with real answers to real questions about romance, dating, and love.  

Driven by my passion for positive marriages, I launched my coaching practice to restore hope for women who wish to be wives, teaching you how to identify and celebrate men who desire to be husbands. Offering more than just advice, I have an ability to translate my own as well as esteemed scholars’ research, tried-and-true theories, and natural girlfriend-next-door genuineness which makes me the dating coach every Christian woman needs by her side.
