Teenage and college life implies a very important problem for teens and students, a problem that leads to the second most important decision in one’s life-choosing a life partner to marry. This dating and marriage process is probably on the first place for everyone, that’s why it is very important for teens and college students to pay more attention to it.

These are some questions concerning dating that we have received:

What do you think about teen dating? What is the most appropriate age for it? What is the way things with dating should happen? Should dating progress into something else? Should we kiss? Some people consider one shouldn’t date before going to college, others believe the contrary. What is your opinion about it?

These questions are very good ones that torture many Christian teenagers once they start getting acknowledged with dating.

But the answers to them are very hard to find, because teenagers are almost never prepared to decide important things in their lives when it comes to this. Besides, if we take a look at humanity’s history and compare our time with the past, we will come to the conclusion that our ancestors had their marriages arranged for them by somebody else in their early or late teen years. Unlike them, we are the only ones to choose whom to marry and we do it later and later with the passing of centuries.

We should admit that Bible doesn’t always answer directly all these questions. Still, it does give advice for young people, advice they should take in count when beginning dating, when choosing the one to date and when having to face different problems with it.

Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals, (1 Corinthians 15:33).

Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? For we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people,” (2 Corinthians 6:14-16).

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own; for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body, (1 Corinthians 6:18-20).

These passages should teach us very important things, like: we should always avoid bad company that corrupts our good morals when coming to date someone(1 Corinthians 15:33);it is vital for us not to become “unequally yoked” with an unbeliever, which is also very important when it comes for us to choose whom to date (2 Corinthians 6:14-16); and finally, but not of the least importance, we must make all that’s in our power to “flee from fornication” (1 Corinthians 6:18).
