Marriable

Christian dating always have an objective; marriage! That's right! the objective of Christian dating is marriage. Why not? What else could possibly be the objective of dating? For Christians, the objective can't be sex-that's fornication. Fornication comes from the root word porneo; from that word we get the English word porn. God established the rules for Christian dating; the rule is sexual abstinence before marriage. The objective of dating can't just be social interaction; that can be accomplished without the commitment expected with dating. From the Christian perspective, a single Christian content to be along without a compelling desire for a soul mate should rejoice in the knowledge that they are complete and lack nothing from the Lord. Going out for fun, social interaction, and fellowship wouldn't be considered dating. It would simply be what it is. However, if their is a growing desire for companionship; if there is burning passion for the opposite sex, dating serves a God given purpose of attracting, qualifying, and marrying the person you will love, and give yourself fully too. So let's be clear, God expect single Christians to practice sexual abstinence as a living sacrifice to Him. The reward is joy, peace, and power in the Holy Ghost. However, if you are dating or looking to date, prepare yourself for the spiritual, emotional, and relational challenges; and remember, godly boundaries doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the process.
