Many would eventually like to get married and maybe even start a family. They just assume that whoever they meet and fall in love with will be another Christian, but in today's world, that's not always the case. Christian Dating Advice Most of the time, when you're dating, certain subjects don't come up right away. In fact, a lot of subjects are "taboo" in the early stages of a relationship. For example, on the first date, you usually aren't going to ask someone if they want to get married and start a family someday and what religion they are. Besides, at this point, all you know is that you're attracted to this person and would like to learn those things about them eventually. However, if you're a Christian and you want to marry a Christian someday, you need to find out if the person you're seeing is a Christian or not before you get too attached. The most basic Christian dating advice is not to be yoked with unbelievers. This means that you should only marry a Christian. the bible also states, however, that if a Christian is married to a non-believer, the Christian's faith sanctifies the non-believer. So basically, the bible's Christian dating advice is to only marry Christians. But God understands that it's not a perfect world, so if you're a Christian who happens to marry a non-believer, there's hope for the non-believer. Maybe that's why God brought you together! Of course, other Christian dating advice involves morals. When you date a non-believer, there's a chance that things that are important to you might not be important to the other person, such as no sex before marriage. This has ruined a number of relationships, even when both people are Christians. But when a Christian dates a non-believer, this rule might not be important to them, so rather than waiting, they may move on. Shallow? Yes. Of course! They should respect you for sticking to that belief. But is that always the case? No. In some cases, the other person actually respects that decision, and they go on to live happily ever after. Some Christian dating advice would lead you to believe that all non-believers are bad people. However, that's just not the case. There are plenty of good people out there with big hearts and good values who just don't have the same beliefs as you do. That does not make them bad people, but it might cause conflict if you get married and have children. Our Christian dating advice may not be what you expected, but it is realistic. Basically, if you're a Christian, your life might be easier if you marry another Christian, and that's certainly what the bible recommends, but there is hope if you're involved with a non-believer too. How's that for neutral advice? Wed, 09 Nov 2005 11:41:39 EST
