Christian Relationship Advice For Young Adults

Posted: Apr 29, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 621 |

To make matters worse, Christian relationship advice isn't easy to find. After all, the Scriptures are fairly quiet on the subject of dating. If you're starting to feel lost, here are some things to keep in mind.

Don't feel pressured!

You and only you are responsible for your behavior. Modern society can be pretty casual about things like club hopping and having‚ friends with benefits‚ and it's easy to feel like there's something wrong with you if you don't want those things.

Don't worry, there's nothing wrong about maintaining Christian values, so don't let anyone make you feel like uncool‚ for doing so. Compromise your morals and not only will you be angry with yourself for it, you'll end up with a relationship you're not happy with. There really isn't anything to gain from it.

Get a Christian perspective!

If you're getting your relationship advice from a hodgepodge of self-help books and daytime talk shows, well, you're bound to get confused. If you want solid Christian relationship advice, seek out material by and for Christians.

Advice on things like breaking up, dating someone of a different denomination or a non-Christian, and how far to take physical intimacy are all going to be a little different coming from a Christian than from anyone else. After all, that's the whole point of Christian relationship advice. That's not to say you should only read material written by Christians, of course. Getting a different perspective is useful, too. Just make sure you consider the source before you actually take the advice.

Hang out with other Christians!

Sounds obvious, doesn't it? But do you actually do it? If you want to date Christians, you've got to go where the Christians are. When you're busy with school, work, and other responsibilities, though, it's easy to forget to set a side time for that. You need to make a point of looking for Christian volunteer activities and fellowship groups where you can meet some new people.

Date for marriage!

If you're dating because you want to find a life partner, dating specifically for marriage will save you both time and a whole lot of heartache. Keep in mind, too, that just because a Christian isn't dating just for the chance to sleep around, that doesn't necessarily mean they're dating for marriage. They may just be dating to have some fun on the weekends. Don't be shy about asking your date if they're currently looking for‚ the one. If they're not and you are, you may want to stop seeing them and look for someone more marriage minded.

If you're hoping to find a fulfilling, loving relationship with another devout Christian, have faith that there's someone out there looking for someone like you, too. With a little determination and some trustworthy Christian relationship advice, you stand a pretty good chance of finding them.

    I recently heard from a wife whose husband had been telling her that he would always love her, but he still wasn't making any moves to come back home. She said, in part: "I've been trying to stay positive and upbeat. And this has helped a lot because I've noticed that when I do this, he reaches out more and he's not so reluctant to be around me. The other day, we were laughing about something and having a really nice time together and out of the blue he said: 'you know that I'll always love you.
