Dating is not a covenant relationship, and it ought not to be. It is time to get to know the person you are dating to tell whether you ought to get married. ~ Bill Greguska

2 Corinthians 6:14  Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

“FALLING in love” is a DANGEROUS mix of words, like falling off a high cliff onto the rocks below; the end can’t be good! Please do NOT ever “FALL” into LOVE. True love takes careful observation, communication, seeking the Lord, getting His clear go-ahead, faithfully & continually holding the relationship before the Lord, willingness to give it up at any time the Lord says, “STOP!” True healthy LOVE is a beautiful growing Gift that has roots deep into the water of the Word.

Patience would probably be the most prominent dating advice that I can offer you. If you rush into a relationship or marriage, you will have an excellent chance to end up divorced. Be wise and be prayerful.

6. Do they like learning new things?
7. Any particular subjects interest them the most?
8. What’s on your “Bucket List”? i.e., What do you want to do in life? Goals? Prayers & plans to reach them?
9. Future Hope? Prov.24:20 only evildoers have no future hope!

Dating Advice: The Leading Of God, Not Of Your Hormones

1. “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” That’s how the old saying goes. But as you start getting to know the other person, ask questions, and learn about your date before you begin to consider letting yourself fall in love.
2. Ensure your values and goals do not clash; if you would love having children and your partner is not interested, it would be an excellent example of a conflict. It is also suggested that your spending habits ought not to clash with your date because money is an issue that creates arguments.
3. Are there standards for movies and television like yours?
4. Are they the type of person who keeps their word?
5. Share on an as need basis, which means not to disclose over personal shortcomings initially, yet at some point when more will need to come out in time.
6. Do not get involved in any romantic relationship with someone who is a non-Christian. You can be friends, but do not date someone who does not hold similar spiritual beliefs. It can be a point of division in the long run.

When You Date The Right Person, You Will Know It!

Dating Is A Process, Not A Race!

1. Observe your partner’s personality be sure that they are loyal, how they handle their temper, are open to what the Bible teaches, are not addicted to any drugs or alcohol, tend to be unselfish, honest in all areas of their life, like how they handle decision-making, values, respect, forgiveness, etc. But most importantly, how their faith in God influences their life.
2. Practice manners from the start and keep them a high priority throughout the relationship. If you don’t hold this respectful attitude when the foundations of marriage are being laid, it will be almost impossible to start them later.
3. Don’t expect your partner to be perfect, which means things the media conjure up in our minds (muscular men/shapely women). Looks are fleeting, but good character is something worth more than silver or gold.
4. Date with a purpose in mind. Guard your heart, and don’t allow yourself to be disrespected. Have high standards. Don’t settle for something mediocre when God has something exceptional for you.
5. God intended sex to be for marriage, and as a disciple of Christ, it’s our responsibility to protect ourselves when we get married. The world has turned sexual activity into a recreational sport when, in fact, God’s purpose for sex is for it to be a spiritual bonding of two married people. Don’t let the world influence your view on sex.
