Sadie Robertson Huff and husband Christian shared their advice for anyone who has high standards when it comes to dating.
“Once you become a strong believer in Christ…you realize the goal of marriage should be to glorify God and to do what the Lord has called us to, to become one flesh and be fruitful and multiply and to do this life together,” Sadie explained. “It’s not so much about being picky…but I do have high standards in the things that matter.”
She added, “I think you can set your standards high — and you should — and [on] the things that matter.”
Christian jumped in, saying he favors “authenticity” over all.

“If you’re not practicing what you’re preaching, I don’t care how pretty the person is, how well you get along — if those core things on just being authentic aren’t real, then your relationship’s not going to be strong,” he explained. “If the person’s authentic and genuine, that surpasses any level of beauty or attraction.”
Sadie agreed, saying, “The standards have to be high when it comes to authenticity, when it comes to honesty, integrity, godliness. Those are things you want your standards to be high in, because those things really matter.”
The DUCK DYNASTY star also had some advice for anyone in a relationship where their standards might not be aligned.
“Go to counseling,” Sadie said, “[And] pray and ask that God would align your standards to one another.”
The couple have previously spoken about the role faith plays in their marriage, with Sadie telling PEOPLE, “Everybody knows my faith is really important to me and his faith is the most important thing to him, so I think having Jesus at the center is really what makes our relationship work. And it makes it exciting because we’re equally as passionate about this hope we have.”
In a 2025 episode of her “WHOA That’s Good” podcast, Sadie shared, “I cannot imagine the past six years of our life not being rooted in Jesus Christ, not having a foundation of faith that we both were able to come back to when we were both struggling, when we both were going through something that was crazy or wild.”
She also reassured other couples that disagreements don’t always mean that things are going poorly.
“You can actually have a great marriage and also have some bumps in the road,” Sadie said.
Sadie and Christian’s advice is a reassuring reminder that standards aren’t too high when they’re about the things that truly matter.
