Whether your single or dating someone, These tips will help you keep a Christian-based relationship:
Now, here’s a moment you may receive temptation. To date a guy/girl who isn’t walking with the Lord. We think we can convert them, or assume that God wouldn’t mind because they’re nice people. The reality is, that if that person isn’t living a Christian life, then you shouldn’t even consider dating them.
Now that we got that out of the way, there’s more to Christian dating than just dating a Christian. The relationship should be pure, innocent, and serious at the same time. What’s the point of a relationship if you plan on breaking up with them anyways? Above all, Christ should be the center of the relationship. Neither one of you in the relationship should be afraid of talking about God, or feel weird praying for each other. Both of you should stay away from the appearance of evil. Something as small as being in a room alone, can bring temptation to both the guy and the girl. I know it sounds cheesy but…Chaperons. It can be parents come along, or even group dating works well too. Invite some friends to the movies with both of you. Not only will it stop the temptation, but also relieve some stress of trying to make the date perfect. Now the last important point I’m going to share is…Go slow. So what if you had a boyfriend for like 3 months and haven’t kissed? That’s beautiful! Don’t believe society’s lies. Obvioulsy, the way society portrays relationships isn’t working. 50% of marriages end in divorce! The statistics of teen parents are rising, and the age of teens dating is getting younger and younger…Anyways, what I mean is…that if you go in your relationship with a Christian remember this.
1) It’s not about just you two, God is also apart of the equation. Keep Him in the center.
2) Keep it pure, and stay away from the appearance of evil. If they really love you, they won’t force you into sex. (besides! If your both Christians, you shouldn’t even consider having sex before marriage!)
3) Keep it slow and innocent. Be best friends before anything!
4)Dating isn’t about kissing or sex. Its about getting to know someone you having feelings for. There’s nothing wrong with hand-holding, hugs, ect! Even kissing is fine. As long as you don’t have ‘passionate’ kisses. point is, don’t do anything physical that may open doors for hormones and make you want to go farther.
5) HAVE FUN! Don’t think that Christian dating is boring. It really isn’t! Don’t believe society’s lies. Because right now I’m dating my boyfriend Christian, and I’ve never been happier. Young love is beautiful thing, and God isn’t against it! (:

A bitter loneliness within her, a stinging pain in her mind. Looking across the room she saw a girl she thought she knew. Confusion quarreled in her thoughts and her eyes poured out tears. She wanted to listen to the truth, not the lies. She thought about everything wrong…everything wrong she’s done, everything wrong she’s thought, and everything wrong about her. “I deserve this!” She thought. So she pulled out a drawer, and took out an appealing, silver blade. She wanted to see love, she wanted to see blood. Started with a frightful scratch, then a horrific scar. No, I’m not speaking of the scar of her arm, but the scar on her mind. Somethings she’s done that she can never turn back from. She took a lie and believed it true. That she could be healed by her wounds. Not knowing that the price was already paid. Jesus Christ already bled for her, me and you. We are healed by HIS wounds. Yesterday he was beaten, whipped, and bruised. Today he lays there dead inside a tomb. Tomorrow he will rise and live. LIVE, that’s what he wanted, not this. Not self-hatred, and evil thoughts, and the insecurities! We were born beautiful! Why are we abusing it? Tearing it down, destroying it with our lies, and insecurities. Now go live daughters and sons. Love who you are, because you are worth dying for.
