PARENTING TEENS :  WHAT ABOUT DATING?

Baca:

"Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Thoughts for the Day


Teenage dating is an important concern. Help your teenager choose dates wisely. Teach your teen to look for more lasting qualities than appearance or popularity in making choices. Teens need to understand the importance of choosing dates with the same characteristics he or she would like to have in a wife or husband.

Make your dating teenager a matter of serious, prayerful concern. Pray daily for God to guide and protect him.

Encourage specific activities that will expose your teen to godly members of the opposite sex. Youth groups at your church, summer activities at church camp. Have youth groups in your home with godly teenagers. Have parties to which your teen can invite appropriate friends.

Consider this . . .

Encourage sexual purity. Virginity can only be lost once. Even if the loss is regretted, it can never be recovered. After covering yourself with prayer, discuss with your teen God's reasons for delaying sexual activity until marriage. Talk about the dangers of promiscuity, even with protected sex.
