We are discussing dating in our Youth Group. It is important to try to lay a foundation for them when it comes to whom, when, how and why to date.
It seems that so many people date and marry for so many of the wrong reasons. I've tried to explain to them before & restated it last night that true love is about giving, not getting. Yet, so many folks are only after what they can get out of a relationship. And, usually, once they get what they want, they get out of the relationship.
I try to emphasis that they should date with marriage in mind; if you wouldn't marry them, don't date them. The longer you are involved with someone, the easier it is to fall in love with them. So, don't date just to date which is stupid dating; date with potential marriage in mind.
Today's word is a quote that sort of goes, "A happy person marries the person they love; a happier person truly loves the one they marry."
What I want our young folks to know is that we should be less interested in finding someone we want to get something from, and find the one that we love enough to give ouraelves to. If they will approach dating with that in mind, maybe we will start a new trend - smart dating.
Be Blessed,
