Relationships..!!!

The bible teaches plenty about relationships. The thing is, they all focus on husband and wife relationships. Encouragement and blessing is only offered to husband and wife covenants and not to temporary fleeting ones.

Emotions, hormones and commitments are to be reserved for our future spouse. When we play around with any 3 of these by offering them to others before its time, we are awakening a part of our self that is not ready. When we do this over and over again, our emotions become unstable, our hormones out of control and our commitments shallow.
We are robbing our future spouse by giving what solely belongs to him/her to the next person who catches our eye. With each new relationship, we open a window to our soul and allow them to have a place in our hearts and minds that will never be erased.

WHERE IS THE COMMITEMENT?

There is a high we experience when we enter a new relationship. It feels good. After being in a relationship for a while, the excitement wears off and like clockwork a new one is sought out. Then the cycle is repeated. This seems innocent enough when there is no matrimony commitment behind it, but what kind of pattern is being engraved in the mind of the adolescent? When things get old, trade it in? Sadly, many people bring this same mentality into their marriage. And why not when it's the same way it was done in earlier relationships? We have been programmed to deal with relationships this way based on earlier experiences.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF DATING?

Love relationships serve one purpose: to lead into marriage. Teen dating is like serving a 3 course meal and then telling the person he/she can't eat any of it. He can prepare it, look at it and even smell it, but he can't have a bite of it. The same relationship techniques used in getting to know your future spouse is used in dating, but the end is empty.

Relationships should only be reserved for those that are marriage minded. Unfortunately, they are used by many teens to fill voids in order to make the recipient feel accepted, loved and beautiful.
