Dating
There are few things as special in life as finding the person with whom you desire to spend the rest of your life, but there is a right way to go about connecting with this special someone.
It is good to begin this journey by first praying and asking God to help you find a mate that He would be pleased for you to marry.
Avoid engaging in pre-marital sex, heavy petting, or other immoral behavior.
Seek godly counsel from counselors, parents, and church leaders.
Avoid engagement to anyone who is not a Christian. The Bible tells us to avoid being unequally tied to
unbelievers.
Dating customs may vary depending on cultural backgrounds. Regardless, dating is not a dress rehearsal for marriage. Certain habits such as couple vacations, purchasing a house, living together, and sexual intimacy are activities that should be reserved for marriage.
Dating is a time where individuals get to know one another better to determine compatibility for marriage.
Until the covenant of marriage is entered, individuals should live holy lifestyles suitable for Christian singles.
