Biblical Guide for a Single Dating Christian
Christians and dating do not always seem to
go hand in hand, but the truth is that there are some different
biblical references that can help individuals and stand ready
as guidelines when it comes to single Christians dating. Many
people may not have been aware of the many ways in which the
bible can help us to understand how we are supposed to be dating
and what is moral and immoral for us to focus on when it comes
time to interact with others on the dating scene. There are
far more boundaries and guidelines that have been set than
many people are aware of.
The
reason that the guidelines are set is in order to make
sure that the individuals are truly in a loving and family-minded
relationship prior to acting on any impulses. Love for god
is pure, and the love that individuals give to each other,
especially to their partners, should also be just as pure.
First of all, the individual who has been raised in the Christian
home will already be aware of the fact that if they are interested
in going out on dates, they will need to do so and be chaperoned
until they reach the age of 18 or older. In order to truly
save one’s soul, they should not even let the thought of dating
un-chaperoned enter their mind before this age. Clearly this
will limit what is and is not allowed on the date. After the
age of 18, or the age that the family has decided upon if it
is later than the 18 years, the Bible still has some guidelines
for people to follow when they are entering the dating world
with their Christian values still intact.
Men will need to look for a woman who will know how to sew
and cook. Additionally, she should love the man and the Lord
as much as her man does, and she will have saved herself, sexually,
for her husband. Also, she will be willing to submit and obey
as the Bible says she should. She should also not gossip, squander
the man’s money and she should be able to keep the house clean
at all times. This woman will not dress provocatively, wear
excessive makeup, or have her hair bobbed. For this is the
type of woman that a good Christian man will want to consider
for his first date.
The Bible does not specifically address the issue of inter-racial
dating. Since the Internet has made it much easier for individuals
to connect from all the corners of the world, people are more
inclined and able to meet others from different cultures and
ethnicities. While it does state that individuals should not
marry someone who is unequal, this was used in the context
of religious beliefs. Specifically, a Christian should not
consider marriage with a non-Christian, according to the Bible.
It is suggested that if an individual is considering dating
and marrying an individual that is of a different culture,
but is still Christian, they should spend a lot of time immersing
each other in their partner’s culture in order to make sure
that the differences are understood and tolerable on a mental,
emotional and function level. This includes the discussion
of the relationship between men and women and the place in
which each gender falls in their own culture and their partner’s.
If these steps are taken, it is far more likely that the couple
will be able to love and understand each other fully, and that
the relationship will be indicative of a way in which the Lord
will be loved and praised.
