The Dating Dilemma


Book Description

Founder of the Romance Academy - an organisation formed to protect teenage girls in those early years of relationships and romance, Rachel Gardner, helps your teens to think wisely and biblically about dating and relationships. Taking on the tough questions - and sometimes having to give the tough answers for their own good, this book helps teenagers work through some of the most common and critical questions about dating and romance and helps you open up to them the life transforming power of God's true love. You know how it goes, or how it's supposed to go: boy meets girl. Boy and girl go on romantic dates. Boy and girl establish healthy boundaries, share their hearts and fall in love. Boy buys ring. Girl says, 'yes'. Boy and girl get married. Parenting and pastoring would be a simple job if that's how it always went. But... No parent, pastor or youth worker can afford not to know how to show teenagers the way to recognise real love amidst the multitude of other things that go hand in hand with it. How to separate infatuation, lust, desperation, attraction and even hate from true devotion, respect and love is vital to health in body mind and spirit when facing the dating dilemma. Rachel Gardner and Andre Adefope lead you through God's guidelines for healthy romance by looking at how God helps us to look for and become a God honouring romantic partner; confident in whom you are, supportive, worthy of respect, sure in yourself, able to nurture selflessness and generous in relationship. You need to know, because it's just too easy - and too dangerous, to get it wrong.




The Dating Debate


Book Description

Nina Barnes thinks Valentine’s Day should be optional. That way single people like her wouldn’t be subjected to kissy Cupids all over the place. That is, until her mom moves them next door to the brooding hottie of Greenbrier High, West Smith.

She’s cute and loves to read as much as he does, but she seems to need to debate everything and she has a pathological insistence on telling the truth. And West doesn’t exactly know how to handle that, since his entire life is a carefully constructed secret.

Sex, Dating, and Relationships


Book Description

Considering the pervasive immorality and high divorce rate of our contemporary Christian culture, we evidently need a biblically based, theologically compelling, practical understanding of sex, dating, and relationships. Pastors Gerald Hiestand and Jay Thomas counteract this problem with their paradigm-shifting view of purity and relationships—a view that challenges even the basic assumptions of evangelical subculture. Unlike most books on dating, this one cuts straight to the heart of dating relationships, asserting with confidence that the line must be drawn at "no sexual activity" whatever. Few have dared to define and apply the Bible's understanding of purity in premarital relationships to this degree, but Heistand and Thomas have done it. Furthermore, both authors are vocational pastors who communicate regularly with the target audience and have a proven ability to express biblical truth in a winsome and compelling manner. Sex, Dating, and Relationships adds a new, almost provocative voice to the conversation that, with straightforward theological insight, pleads with Christians to get serious about honoring Christ with their sexuality.




Healthy Dating Techniques


Book Description

Finding true love and maintaining a clean healthy relationship is not an impossible task. The trick lies in balancing your act. You need to have lots of virtues like affection, love, respect, patient and trust to be able to do that. The ingredients of a healthy dating relationship are simple and homemade. Healthy love relationships need the help of the following features: o Truth and Honesty: Being true to your partner is one of the most basic prerequisites for all good relationships. A clean honest character speaks volume, it builds up trust and no matter what, and your partner will never be suspicious or doubtful about you, as you have always been amazingly truthful to him/her.o The Act of Forgiveness: For good solid relationships, you have to forgive and forget the past. It is no use harboring il feelings towards one another and pretending to be a loving couple.o Friendship: Remember the famous quote, ‘after the newness of a relationship dies away, only the friendship and companionship remain.’ It is not sufficient to have a great physical chemistry; you should also be good friends. In every successful marriage, partners are first loyal friends to each other than anything else.o Patience: If you have it in you to be patient and determined, it will help you tide over all the rough patches in a relationship. Love relations and marriages often come to an abrupt ending due to lack of patience to work out the problems with a clear head.o Passion: Having flaming passion for your partner does wonders to your love life. Do not confuse passion with sex and lust, having genuine love and passion overrides the physical need for intimacy. It makes the relation strong and durable for many decades.o Communicating: Effective communication teaches to you to respect each other’s point of view and a healthy regard for your partner’s suggestions. It helps you to talk through all the tough issues in life.o Monogamy: A valued relationship is one, which is monogamous in nature. Complete truth, honesty and faithfulness to your partner are what it takes to keep a relationship fresh and thriving. If there is deep love and respect for each other, the question of polygamy doesn’t even arise-you will never feel the need for a change in your love life.o Equality of the Sexes: The major decisions of your lives should be decided mutually in a relationship. It is not the solo right of man alone to resolve matters that involves his partner as well. There should be complete fairness and gender equality.o Economic Responsibilities: The financial burden should be equally shared for a healthy pattern. All decisions regarding money should be necessarily made together so that both partners profit from such monetary agreements. In addition, partners in a healthy dating relationship have lots of similar traits. One should be compatible on an emotional, mental and physical level. Our life is very short, so we should value each new day and try to create a happy atmosphere for our partner and ourselves.Dating relationships should be harbored on a long-term basis. Never look for cheap fun and excitement on a date. Such temporary relationships make it hard for anyone to hold ground, even if they find true love.
