Dating ContractAbout a year ago at my best friend’s house I noticed a very peculiar contract on the fridge. It was a dating contract that his brother and his girlfriend entered into. At first I thought it was weird especially just on the fridge like that, but after he explained it to me it made more sense. Him and his girlfriend wanted to date right under God and their parent’s authority so they wrote out not only things they did not want to do, but foundations they wanted to build their relationship on. Foundations like studying the bible together daily and praying together, and not spending too much time alone or apart from their families. I’m not gonna lie at first I thought this was kind of old school and perhaps a bit over the top, but now I think it’s incredible. To actually have a document holding you accountable before God and your parent’s is a lot more binding then merely talking about it. It’s funny too because they are engaged and are getting married in April, and I look that them and can immediately tell a difference in their relationship versus other relationships, even other relationships in the church. Because they chose to make that pact with each other and make it under supervision and authority applying the same motives and methods as courting. By signing something and making it binding, it does just that, it makes it binding. It also lays everything on the table and makes intentions clear. This is something I will do if I am ever lucky enough to seriously consider dating a Christian woman.^ this is awesome, def what I am going to do when I find a Christian man, gotta be on the same level and of course have Christ be the center of our relationship!
