For dating Christians, having a relationship full of fun and love must be weighed with self-control and upholding the faith.

At times, Christian principles of chastity, honesty and worship present challenges but these same foundational guidelines also promote a wholesome and holy relationship based on trust, love and respect.

As a man or woman dedicated to the Christian faith - and with a devout focus on God’s place in our daily lives - navigating the waters of modern dating can be tricky indeed.

The place of faith and God within the context of a new relationship can often bring to mind questions that are not so easily answered or put away.

However, even among Christians, there are differences as to whether you should or should not date.

The choice is up to you and your parents, but Christian teens should still know God’s perspective on dating.

There are things floating around that have little or nothing to do with the Bible.
