Christian Dating - Spiritual tips

For Christian dating singles, to live upto the modern times of challenges and temptations, it is important to come out unscathed through such tests by following simple steps in a good dating environment.

Christian Dating Tips to build a Strong , lasting Relationship !

• Pray before you go for a date– Prayer is the most important constituent to help a relationship. Before leaving your home to meet with your date, it is indeed a good step to spend some time on your knees asking God to help you to honor Him and your date. Prayer can always be your shield and help you to ward off any wrong doing. It can also help your mindset and your focus with your date.
• Get talking – Talking helps you to know each other better. there is no better way than talking to know someone. However it is better to talk about each other than about a host of other unrelated topics. The more you get talking, the more idea you get about each other.
• Be Friends first! – This tip may be the most important of them all. Being friends builds a unique bond between two people and cannot be taken for granted. It is important to note that until you are married the person you are dating he/she could be some one else’s future mate. If you choose to keep your date relationship friendly, it could help you to have a gradual shift from being a friend to being a life partner rather than jump to the life partner mode immediately. Friendship helps to build a trust. And after all isn't it a fantastic feeling to marry your best friend?

• Honor God with all your heart The ultimate aim of our being on earth is to honor God with our actions which he sees very clearly although we may not know it. All our actions should reflect God's teaching and we must strive that our actions do not contradict God's teaching.Prayer is an intimate conversation with God and can draw two people together in ways not intended if you are not careful. It’s better to pray together when you are with other Christians. This will help keep the focus on God and not allow thoughts and emotions to wander to prohibited areas and forbidden things..

• Avoid kissing on a date – This may be tough in such a modern world but we must try and avoid the kiss as it is a meeting of two bodies. If you follow this tip, it can help you with the rest of the tips which can be easy if this is followed. So untill the date of marriage, keep the kiss as the first suspense and when you kiss on your wedding day, it would be the most wonderful experience you ever imagined and you will be thankful to yourself and me for it.
• I know some will consider this abjectly ridiculous but before you have fun with that thought it may be worthwhile to note the following when it comes to kissing.

A kiss tends to to sexually stimulate a man (and woman) instantly. It is the initial physical stimulus which leads to other sexual activity

If you aren’t kissing then you won’t become tempted to take things to a more intimate level. You’ll be protecting yourself and the purity of your date.

If a Christian man is kissing his date and it gives him an erection (often just the possibility of a kiss can do this), is God or his date being honored by this action?

Is this healthy for the man to get sexually aroused time after time without sexual release? When men become sexually aroused a large amount of blood flows to the genitals and If ejaculation does not occur, the build up of blood can hurt.

A kiss will surely break down certain barriers and leave you in a vulnerable position that could ultimately destroy your relationship with your date and disengage you from a close stroll with God. Self-control is clearly the better option.

Just think how magical and triumphant that first kiss will be if it is saved for your wedding day!

• Treat each other with the due respect– If you respect the person you are with then you won’t say or do things that will intentionally hurt them. Ask yourself "what would Jesus do?" and then do it!

If you have read the above tips, try and use them in your dating situations rather than just read them for the sake of reading. Dating can be a wonderful experience and the joy of loving someone is undescribable.  If you came in quest of these dating tips and landed onto this page then surely you have the desire to honor your date and honor God with the choices you will make while dating with someone.

I hope and pray that these dating tips will change the way people date in pursuit of  temporary happiness and actually use these tips to enrich their life for a permanent bonding relationship while their actions honour God and his word.

Christian dating tips for Christians

As Christians we are expected to set an example of good standards and practices so that others who watch us or observe us can emulate and our actions can show to others that we practice what we preach.

As human beings, and as Christian singles, our bodies are in a battle every day. However we must not forget that we have been called to a higher standard of living than when we walked in our desires of the flesh. Apostle Paul wrote quite meaningfully in 1 Cor 6, verses 19-20 " Don't you know that your bodies are the temple of the holy spirit who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God. He bought you for a price so use your bodies for God's glory"

So it is not about our age. Young or old, the battle of our flesh is present in all of us and we must move against this battle and merge victorious in the eyes of God. Especially when we are dating . We must respect God's word and also respect the person with whom we are dating.

In this area, we thankfully got help. The help comes from the holy spirit who guides us and we know that Jesus has overcome the world! We don't have to face the battle all on our own. We are not alone in this war

Listed as under, you will find some very easily practicable dating tips which you can apply for dating. For some these dating tips may seem a bit impractical and too strict to follow, but when followed you’ll find that you end up with a beautiful relationship which has the promise of a lifetime and there can be no regrets with such a clear and clean approach to dating.

We don’t want to spend a great deal of time on some of the more obvious dating tips, but we thought these should be mentioned none-the-less. These first six items are really basic and somewhat laughable, but when it comes to dating, some guys self-destruct before leaving their home.  So here are some well tested dating tips (mainly for the guys) that should happen whether you are going out with a woman or just going out with your family.

• (1) Present yourself nicely. Dress well and wear well ironed clothing. Your dress sense makes a lot of impact
• (2) make sure you are well groomed and that your hair is well combed to complement your personality
• (3) Make sure you have a pleasant odour. Brush your teeth and if there is any doubt of a bad odour, it is advisable to chew some mouth fresheners before the date.
• (4) Spray a deodorant or any good perfume so that you smell good. It can also take care of your sweat and bad odour
• (5) make sure that your attitude and the articles that you handle are clean and if you are  driving by car, do ensure that your car is clean and neat.
• (6) Relax yourself and do not panic for anything. Try to be humorous but if not do not put on an extra humorous approach. try to be normal at best.
• (7) Do not speak ill of others to your date. At best speak little of others and do not be critical of someone unnecessarily
• (8) Do not propose on your first date. be friends first. Proposal will follow automatically
• (9) Do not fondle and kiss on your date. Keep it as a suspense gift for your partner on your wedding day

In times of break-ups...

The hardest time in the life of an individual is when a loved one is gone. "Gone" however could mean in many ways. Death is "gone". A break-up in relationships is also "Gone" for many. And the effects of such situations have known to be devastating and sometimes even life changing for many in this world.

It is therefore very important to control one's emotions at the times of break-ups. It may be easier said than done. But if one gets completely bogged down by the memory of the person who has "left", it can only do you more bad than good.

Getting rid of the memory of the person who is "Gone" is therefore most crucial especially in the short term. Our human memory is short and if we can handle the break-up in the shorter term there are good chances of handling long term effects.

The best way to handle break-ups is to mentally prepare yourself in advance. This may sound very unreal but believe it or not, it can help you. One should always pray to God to help you to handle the worst should it come your way. This way you prepare yourself mentally and consider all options of helping yourself out in case such a predicament presents itself in front of you.

It is very important to be in the company of friends and family who will comfort you. talking to family and friends is essential to wriggle yourself out from the mental state of agony that catches up with you. Although it may be difficult, try to go out with friends and family at these times and always have a high opinion of yourself. A high opinion will always offset many negative complexes of inferiority and helplessness.

The first few days after the break-up are the most difficult to handle and once you are able to withstand the onslaught of the initial whiff of memories and trauma, you will turn out stronger and eventually emerge resistant to such thoughts.

The thought of suicide should always be shunned firmly. Suicide helps no one and besides being the most sinful thought, it is also a very selfish idea since the whole family has to bear the stigma of the unsavory episode and the family is left shell shocked. Suicide is also foolish as it serves no purpose. Rational thinking is very important at such times. Your life is given by God because he loves you. never forget that

Life is too precious and is given only once. We are very precious children in the eyes of our Lord and we should do everything to ensure that we do not let him down with our silly actions.

Finally, for all kinds of answers related to any situation in life, the BIBLE is the ultimate book. There is nothing that is not answered in the Bible. Be it from the past, the present or the future.

May the love of our Lord reign in every heart that is broken.

The Valentine hangover

Valentine's day has come and gone. 14th of Febraury has been looked forward to by lovers and common people alike all over the world as if the day had everything capsuled inside to ensure that Love remained completely insulated if the day was diligently observed.

Contrary to common opinion, Valentine's day has very little to do with Christianity and if only St Valentine had to be followed diligently we could spread love around us more constructively.

Thankfully over the years the Valentine's day has extended its boundaries to include Love of all kinds including love between parents and children or between cousins, or better just between colleagues at work. However the love between man and woman still remains a hot favourite as the synonym of the special Valentine day.

So after Valentine's day is over, what next?

We need to inculcate in ourselves the same feelings for our partner for the entire year or else the meaning of the day is completely lost. We need to show similar care and concern for our partner, talk to our partner and always evolve as a couple. Every day should be considered as a Valentine's day. Becasue life is so much beautiful if we do all the small things of life the right way and ensure that living in the ways of God is the best possible method to get true love.

Welcome to Christian dating singles

Welcome to Christian dating singles site. We are a Christian site offering the platform for meeting for Christian singles as a means to know each other better. Knowing each other as friends is sometimes essential to understand the likes and dislikes of a person and does help in making a qualified decision on the most important aspect of marriage.

It is our endeavour that you find the right partner by applying the correct advice when it comes to dating. Dating is certainly not a means to have fun. It should only be a means of knowing the opposite sex better so that you can find a suitable life partner for yourself.

We must always keep in mind that our bodies are like temples of God and should be utilised for his glory. Our minds need to be clear and clean and we must always strive to speak the truth.

Love is of course the bond that we need to continuosly imbibe. Without Love our life is meaningless. And without God we are nothing.

As I put up this first post of mine I call upon the Lord to bless this blog and through the power of the blood of his son Jesus Christ may the holy spirit always look upon this blog to be holy and never to succumb to the meaningless desire of the evil one.

May your dating experience be a fruitful one and may you get the partner that God had already chosen for you.
