If I am too young for marriage is it wrong to date?

Pastor Mark Driscoll answers this question as part of a live "Ask Anything" session in which audience members SMS questions to the pulpit to be answered in real time.

This question was answered in the broader context of a sermon entitled "Dating" which can be found at http://www.marshillchurch.org/media/religionsaves/dating

    Preach it

  • @eingram21 What he's really talking about is a guy and gal getting too emotionally and physically involved with one another, too soon. Why get so close to someone in college when you can not marry them? Why force yourself to resist sexual temptation for a year or two? Why not wait, remain friends, and when the time is right, then you date, so that you can then marry them whenever you please! After all, if God is in control, and he works for the good of those who love Him, then why not wait?

    It's not true love if it isn't a relationship that lasts a lifetime. God's love is long suffering. His love is a dedicated kind of love for His children, no matter what. We should reflect that same kind of love. We aren't doing that when we are merely in a relationship with someone (as opposed to being married to them).

  • It teaches you respect and fairness in relationships

  • Wow, that really rubs me the wrong way that he just thinks it's so obvious and black and white; it IS debatable. Just because you aren't CURRENTLY READY for marriage QUITE YET doesn't mean your motives for dating aren't to find the one you EVENTUALLY WILL marry, or that you will be sexually active. Some of the most happily married, on-fire-for-God people I know will go on record to say they don't regret dating before their spouse, because it taught them alot, and they didn't give themselves away

  • THANK YOU. Very enlightening.

  • @windingspiralcase it's wrong when you "fall in love" with SOMEONE else's husband/wife.

  • Wtf what's wrong with being in love?

  • @aggenbagh agreed brother/sister. I'm learning this now as well. God Bless :)

  • you are preaching the truth! This is awesome!
