Thursday

Well it's close to Friday. What's interesting about what was posted yesterday is that most men will cheat if given chance and if they feel they won't get caught. I've always said that men are normally the ones who screw up a relationship.

If a man is treating his girlfriend or wife correctly, she won't have any reason to stray from the relationship. Does that mean I support having a boyfriend/girlfriend? No I don't. I only believe in Husband/Wife.

Today, many youths become romantically involved, even though they are too young to marry. To satisfy the sexual desires that are building up inside of them, they soon become involved in immoral conduct to the point of committing fornication.

For some, a date is a formal, structured affair—flowers, a lovely dinner, and a good-night kiss are all part of the agenda. For others, a date simply means spending some time together with someone you like of the opposite sex.

There are even couples who are constantly seen together but who claim to be just friends. Well, whether you call it dating, going together, or just seeing each other, it usually amounts to the same thing: a boy and a girl spending a lot of time together socially, often unsupervised.

Dating was not the custom in Bible times. Nevertheless, when carried out intelligently, cautiously, and honorably, dating is a legitimate way for two people to get to know each other. And, yes, it can be enjoyable. But does this mean that you should date?

You may feel under pressure to date. Most of your friends probably date, and naturally you do not want to seem weird or different. Pressure to date may also come from relatives. Some may say: Whether you want to marry the boy or not has nothing to do with it. Dating is just a part of your natural development as a person.

After all, if you always turn guys down you’ll be unpopular and no one will ask you out. One might say to themselves: Would I be cheating myself out of a good opportunity? The boy had his own car, lots of money; and I knew he would show me a great time. Should I date him or not?

A teenager should not begin dating simply because he or she feels pressured to do so! For one thing, dating is serious business—a part of the process of selecting a marriage mate. Marriage?

Admittedly, this may be the last thing on the minds of most youths who date. But really, what justification could there be for two people of the opposite sex to begin spending a lot of time together other than to investigate the possibility of marrying each other? In the long run, dating for any other reason is likely to result in anything but fun. Why so?

During this time, you may feel powerful surges of sexual desire. There is nothing wrong with this; it is a part of growing up. But therein lies a big problem with teenage dating: Teenagers are just beginning to learn how to control these sexual feelings.

True, you may well know God’s laws regarding sex and you may sincerely desire to remain chaste. Even so, a biological fact of life comes into play: The more you keep company with a member of the opposite sex, the more sexual desire can grow—whether you want it to or not.

It is the way all of us are made! Until you are older and more in control of your feelings, dating may simply be too much for you to handle. Unfortunately, many youths find this out the hard way.

If they were a virgin. Do you know anyone who lost it to a boy that you know they won't marry?

It's possible that if a boy slept around and now you slept with him, you may end up with an STD like HIV or Hep C.

You can even get something just by kissing someone. It's very serious.

Till tomorrow.
