For many teens and youths of today's century, loving, dating, break-up and all sort has been the normal. From wanting a feeling of care and affection to wanting to be secure and so on. Many still did not know the reason and purpose of dating. That's why many felt heartbroken after months or years of commitment to the wrong thing.


One of my adored writer and model, Late Myles Munroe, in his book "WAITING AND DATING" highlighted three principles to stand upon when ready for a dating which you envisage will lead to marriage.


1. BE AWARE OF THE BENEFITS AND DANGER:

Dating should be an opportunity to know someone the more and be closer to them.

Many never thought of the dangers involved in going into an emotional commitment to someone before actually starting. As much as there there are benefits of going into the dating zone, there are dangers to watch out for too.

Did you know if you are ready psychologically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally? Are you ready to be committed and accept the person for who they are?

The dangerous part of it is now getting committed too much and it doesn't work out at the long run. Many have turned themselves into a victim of 5years dating and they felt like, they can never love again.

No, there is still time and chance to love again.


2. UNDERSTANDING OF GOD'S STANDARD FOR RELATIONSHIP:

Myles Munroe, in his book "Waiting and Dating" wrote, 'our modern society has come up with some dating criteria. Some say that a person is ready on entering the puberty or becoming a teenager. The only criterion for a believer and a follower of Christ is to find and folloe God's standard.' This, i strongly agree with. He further wrote that 'dating is no place for trial and error. You should not even begin a serious relationship with anyone until you understand what God expects and requires of you. If you are not sure, find out first'

That's awesome. All in all, there are two choices; either you follow God's standard by deliberate choice or you follow world standard by default.


3. NOT COMPROMISING ON GOD'S STANDARD:

Many of us are always ready to compromise godly or moral standards for worldly standards just to get a girl or boy friend. That's immature and could end in trouble. Standing strong on your believe is a sign of spiritual and emotional maturity. With that, you can not just be tossed back and forth by the wind of peer pressure.


Close attention of these three principle will help us ensure we all have an healthy dating life for both you and the person you date.
