And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh – Matthew 19:5
Dating is not God’s Standard for His People. There are no boyfriends or girlfriends in the Kingdom of God, only husbands and wives. Either you’re married or engaged to be married. In fact, dating is the number 1 cause of divorce.
Through dating, people learn to solve romantic problems by breaking up. Through dating, they move from person to person, and each time there’s a problem, they break up and move on. When they finally get married and their union is tested, they solve their marital problems the way they always have. Only in marriage, a break-up is called divorce.
Getting to know each other first doesn’t guarantee a solid marriage. A solid marriage is guaranteed by a solid commitment to God first and then your spouse. So make a solid commitment to God today and decide to marry that person you’re with or break it off until you’re ready to get married because you’re living in sin. Glory to God!
CONFESSION
My Father has a high moral Standard. I refuse to dishonour Him by living in sin. He didn’t make us to be boyfriends and girlfriends but husbands and wives. Glory to God!
