Gotta love it when your religious parents give you this as a 20 year old... lovely.
Anyway so I thought it’d be a good idea to post how stupid this is because relationships, dating, and marriage is not the same as today compared to when the Bible was written. I also wanted to post this to open up a conversation.
Please comment below with your non religious/ atheist dating advice. If you’re not dating then comment something you wish you knew while you were dating.
I need to do some car maintenance. Is there anything in the Bible about that?
Yes, the little-known 11th commandment! Thou shalt changeth thine oil every 5.2 million cubits!
I feel that dating should be all about developing a friendship. A serious relationship must develop on it's own and it takes some time to be sure it is not based on infatuation or the comfort of being in a relationship. If it develops that's great but do not attempt to force it because you want to be in a serious relationship.
...my 3sisters received a similar book in high school(catholic).After they were happily married they joked about it(30 somethings).
Their critique was it saw they dater's responsibility to society the community the church. NOT EACH OTHER. Humans have
to experience an exploration of themselves and others(notably the opposite sex) before
they understand what they want and who they would be compatable with::there is no short cut-when dating at any age the process will involve a level of questioning reminiscent of
a job interview,but with emotions/&hormones.
Saying I don't know (or hypothetical questions)are beneficial. Be honest;patient;
and try to enjoy(create) a PROCESS of learning for BOTH, trying to keep pressure
at a minimum. Good post!!
