CLICK HERE FOR CHRISTIAN DATING
1. Don’t Date Just To Date
Although dating can be seen as harmless
and fun, dating for the sake of dating can really screw with someone’s
head. Not only is it unfair to the individuals you are seeing, but it’s
also unfair to yourself. Don’t purposely put yourself into situations
that will only mess with your emotions. There is a maturity and
responsibility that comes along with the action of dating, and if your
only reason for dating is “just because,” I would really encourage you
to take a step back and not move forward in your pursuit. The motives of
your heart play a big role in your dating life and will continue to
play a role in any future relationship. Evaluate your motives.
2. You’re Allowed To Have High Standards
Your standards need to be somewhat
obtainable, but don’t let anyone tell you that your standards are too
high. The reality is that you’re looking for the person you are going to
spend the rest of your life with, so inevitably you have every right to
be as picky as you want to be. Don’t settle for something mediocre when
God has something exceptional for you.
3. Purity Paves The Way To Intimacy
I’m not gonna go ultra-conservative on
you and claim sex before marriage leads to death, but I will say the
wait is worth it. Not only does purity show a sense of respect and honor
to one another, but it will also show the depth in which your
relationship with God stands. God intended sex to be for marriage, and
as a follower of Christ it’s our duty to protect this sacred gift. The
world around us has turned sexual activity into a recreational sport,
when in fact God intended it to be a spiritual joining of two people.
Don’t let the world poison your view on sex. God intended it for more.
4. Prayer Is The Key
This tip speaks for itself. And although
it might be a no-brainer to most of you, you’d be surprised to know how
many people leave prayer and fasting out of their dating lives. When it
comes to Christian dating, any relationship that hasn’t been
prayerfully considered is a relationship I’d re-consider. I’m not saying
you can’t find a wonderful person without praying, but why would you
want to ignore the opportunity to seek wisdom and guidance from the
creator of the universe? Don’t make sense to me. Spend time in
conversation with God, and allow him to guide you towards someone he
sees fit. There is no such thing as a prayer-less Godly relationship.
