What's
the general goal of much or most of dating today? That's right. It's all
over the sitcoms, lots of the "chick flicks," R-rated movies and conversations
among teens and young adults in school hallways and social hangouts. There's
just one primary message about what too many guys and girls want of each
other—and it's not good conversation, fine friendship or eventual
marriage.
What's
the endgame of wrong and promiscuous dating? Right again. Ragged
and jaded emotions; sinfully violated bodies (both genders); a
haunting, sad-eyed, brokenhearted, guilty conscience; premarital
pregnancies ending in either the weary and lonely existence of
single-mom-misery or tiny aborted lives snuffed out before they
can even cry for help.
Need we even mention sexually transmitted diseases and the statistical tendency of sexually active young people to engage in other risky behavior like smoking, drinking and illegal drug use with the related criminal paths that can lead to? That's a crummy kind of dating.
Two questions
Now what about you? Consider two questions. First, what kind of dating does the loving God who made you expect you to do? Correct—a better kind of dating than that described above. Second, what as a guy do you want in a girl, or what as a girl do you want in a guy?
Remember, whether you're in your teens or 20s (or later), dating often leads to marriage. Right dating provides you the opportunity in the meantime to build good character and polish your personality as you get to know a variety of people, until ultimately you find your own true love.
The most famous British leader of the 20th century, Sir Winston Churchill, observed it this way: "Where does family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl. No superior alternative has yet to be found."
