21. After years of meaningless dating, and the option to dump or keep such a relationship, such habits, are commonly taken into marriage. " If you don't like your wife or husband, get a divorce, and get someone else that you will be happy with." This concept is just as prevalent in today's society, and I believe, that the heart of divorce, is relationships started on the wrong foot.
22. Let's take point 21 one step further. If you don't want, or don't love your child, do the same thing you did with other relationships, dump it somewhere, or kill it. This no commitment dating is habit forming. Love is not an emotion, but rather true love is a commitment. To love someone, is to promise your heart soul and mind over to a person, and to be willing to die for them, and that no problem is ever big enough to stop your love for that person. Jesus has shown us the perfect love, and we ought to have our love modeled from His example. So I would like to urge you to act as you think Jesus might have acted, and have perfect love, and wait for God's time. There will be a time where you will show that special someone how much you love them, God has set a time. For if Jesus had died too soon, and had not waited for God's timing, we would not have an example set by Jesus on many things, and would not have His teachings. The same goes with relationships, Jesus showed His great love for us when the time had come, and now we can be His bride. So I beg you, when the time comes for you to show your love, God will direct you, but until then, just wait.
23. "God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of sexual sin." I Thessalonians 4:3. The Bible states that even the thought of something is the same as doing it, just as hating someone and thinking about killing someone is the same as murder. Dating often can cause impure thoughts, and often raises expectations of physical contact, even if it only be holding hands. Physical contact causes a feeling of closeness, which we are supposed to have in marriage, but to use physical contact to make you and your boyfriend or girlfriend feel closer, or as one, is completely a selfish, lustful, and sinful way of thinking, and an abuse, if not a mockery, of God's gift of physical contact to Married couples.
