Notes de l'éditeur
- Romanticism and sentimentalism. "Puppy love." Boy-crazy; girl-crazy.
- Taking advantage of another (age, height, weight, looks, intellect, emotional maturity, spiritual maturity, social standings, social skills, psychological understanding, place of authority, financial superiority, etc.)
- Need for love, acceptance, relating, bonding, belonging, to be valued, affirmed, excitement, identity, etc.
- “my loved one is my life" – attitude.Totally preoccupied in attention and time.To say or believe that another person is “everything” or the most important thing in one’s life is idolatry, which is sin (Galatians 5:20; Colossians 3:5).
- Nagsisimulasa “crush”Nagiging “mutual understanding” or M.U.Panahonngligawan“Select and dissect” processChristian teens should still know God’s perspective on dating. Non-Christians have a different perspective on dating. You see the magazines, TV shows, and movies that tell you how you’re young, and you should date a lot of people before you get married.
- You should know the person you are dating and know their beliefs. You should check your potential boyfriend against the values listed in 1 Corinthians. Compatibility Test Questions:1. Is this person spiritually regenerated? John 3:1-62. Take time to observe their values and attitudes. Matt. 7:163. Will they pray with you? ...study Scripture? ...attend church?4. Are there common objectives and priorities?5. Discuss short-range and long-range goals. Career choices.6. Check what kind of friends they have?7. Do you have the same hobbies and interest?
- While you may not be looking at marrying anyone at the moment, it should always be in the back of your head. Why get involved emotionally with someone that you should not marry? This does not mean you cannot be friends with that person, but you should not date them.
- This also means that you should avoid “missionary dating,” which is dating a non-believer in the hopes that you can convert him or her. Your intentions may be noble, but the relationships rarely work out. Some Christians have even gotten married to non-believers, hoping that they can convert their spouse, but often the relationships end up in disaster.
- God calls us to love one another, but the scripture is clear that He asks us to be careful. While love is a beautiful thing, the breaking off of relationships is hard. There is a reason they call it a “broken heart.”
- God understands the power in love and the damage a broken heart can do. This is why it is important for Christian teens to really pray, know their hearts, and listen to God when they decide to date.So make sure you are only dating those who share your beliefs. Otherwise you may find that your relationship is a struggle rather than a joy.
- When we are just beginning to figure out who we are, we may not be firmly grounded enough spiritually to form solid romantic attachments and may be more prone to making unwise decisions that can leave us with emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual damage.
- Mag-on na kayoThe relationship is official“Marriage Preparation” processChristians need to make sure they have a clear understanding of the person they may marry before becoming engaged. This allows for the two people to truly get to know each other in a more platonic setting without the pressures of physical intimacy or emotions clouding their view.
- We need to realize that God means for us to meet the ONE person that we are meant to marry. According to Genesis, a man will leave home to marry one women to become one flesh. You do not need to date a lot of people – just the right one.
- Christian teens need to guard their hearts. The word “love” is thrown around with little thought. Yet, we often live for love. We live for God’s love first and foremost, but we also live for the love of others. While there are many definitions of love, 1 Corinthians tells us how God defines love.It is love that should drive Christian teens to date, but it should not be the shallow version of love. When you date it should be taken seriously.
- Any and all sexual and pre-sexual activity should be restricted to married couples. An unmarried couple should avoid any activity that tempts them toward sex, that gives the appearance of immorality, or that could be considered foreplay. Many pastors and Christian counselors strongly advise a couple to not go beyond holding hands, hugging, and light kissing before marriage. By essence, foreplay is designed to get one ready for sex. Logically then, foreplay should be restricted to married couples. Anything that can be considered foreplay should be avoided until marriage. The Bible promotes complete abstinence before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves (Hebrews 13:4).

- Life-long relationshipMarriage is not only a commitment, but a covenant with God. It is the promise to remain with that other person for the remainder of your life, no matter what happens.
- Marriage should never be entered into with the idea that divorce is an option—not even as the last straw.
