Christian Relationship Advice For Young Adults

Sound Christian relationship advice is even more important today than it
was just a few decades ago. Let’s face it, these days navigating the
dating minefield is hard enough even for those who do let Hollywood movies
and popular magazines dictate their opinion. When you plan to stick to
moral values that sometimes go against today’s social norms, though, it
gets even more complicated.

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.
