The Bible and Although the wordBoyfriend and Girlfriend is not found in the Bible, we are given some principles that Christians are to go by during the time before marriage. The first thing to realize is that we must separate from the worlds view on because Gods way contradicts the worlds (2 Peter 2:20). We are told by society to date around as much as we want, going through as many people as possible. Instead, we should discover what kind of person we are getting into a relationship with before making such a commitment. We should find out if the person has been born again (John 3:3-8), and if they share the same desire to be as Christ was (Philippians 2:5). Why is this important in finding a partner? A Christian person should be careful not to marry an unbeliever (2 Corinthians 6:14-15) because this could weaken your relationship with Christ, or compromise your morals and standards. When one is in a committed relationship with someone, it is important to remember to love the Lord above anyone else (Matthew 10:37). To say or believe that the other person is your everything or the most important thing in your life is idolatry, which is a sin (Galatians 5:20, Colossians 3:5). Keep in mind, if the purpose of is to meet and get to know the person whom God has created for you to spend your life with, why are people already looking at age 9? Or even at age 16? No one is prepared for marriage at that age, and premature could lead to temptation to go all the way ahead of schedule.
