When you begin dating, date someone who you think would be a good spouse. If someone wants to date you, don't say yes, unless you think they would be a good spouse. You might be right. You might not find someone right away. Don't be discouraged, because you'll be so concerned about NOT finding someone, you might miss GOD's plan for you.

Don't have sex before you get married. Have the courage to wait for your wedding. If you do have sex with someone and don't marry them - you could have just had sex with someone else's SPOUSE!? There is only one purpose of having sex. It is a holy and sacred act that GOD has allowed us. All the rest of the "stuff" about sex is extra. Having sex with your spouse is your honor & privilege. It is an expression of love. It is not love.

Love is how you treat someone. "I love you" means that I treat you with the highest level of respect and care and expect nothing back. When you get married, your relationship will evolve. Be ready to accept and evolve along with your spouse. You might evolve at different times and at different rates of speed, but you will change. It's not that you're falling out of love, but it means you're growing as a person. Remember that once you marry someone, that person is really Jesus in disguise. Love, Honor, and obey them accordingly.
