Our church got to serve lunch to the Baptist Collegiate Ministry students at the local university. My husband and I were also asked to do a 10 minute devotional. We decided to speak on Godly dating and relationships. There is SO much that could be said, but we only had 10 minutes!
Here are the basics of what we shared:
-God created man and woman to be married. The woman was created to be her husband's helper.
-The husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church.
-Wives are to respect their husbands.
-When considering whether or not to date a person, you should ask yourself a few questions:
1. Would a relationship with this person draw me closer to God or pull me away from him?
2. Is this person a Christian, living out his/her faith in word and in action?
3. Do we have common interests and similar or compatible long-term goals?
4. Were we raised in similar ways or are there major differences that would affect our relationship?
5. Are we of the same religion/religious faith? If not, am I willing to change?
A good rule to follow: Don't date someone you wouldn't want to marry!
