Youth Group Dating Rules

For most teens, dating rules and expectations are an important part of social interactions and development. Any faith-based or community group that seeks to support teens needs to address this issue so central to teenagers' lives. Most religious youth groups have rules that come from their faith traditions and give their members guidelines on how to date and interact with the opposite gender.

Christian Youth Groups

Different Christian denominations offer different guidelines for youth dating. The most common rule is youth should not have sex outside of marriage, which is based on Biblical passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:33, which says Christians should "flee from sexual immorality." Another common guideline in Christian youth groups is Christians should only date other Christians, based on 2 Corinthians 6:14, which says believers should not be "yoked together with unbelievers." Other Biblical advice that youth groups may apply to dating include Proverbs 4:23, which says to "guard your heart," meaning Christian youth should not get too emotionally involved in relationships too quickly, and 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, which outlines a description of what true love is like. Christian youth groups often encourage teens to create their own personal rules and standards for dating, such as staying in public areas and limiting physical contact.

10 Biblical Rules for a Happy Marriage

A quick look at the scriptures will show you what true happiness in a marriage really means. Here are just 10 Bible verses that clue us in on how a godly marriage should work: Never bring up mistakes of the past.  Stop criticizing others or it will come back on you.  If you forgive others, you will be forgiven  ( Luke 6:37 ). Neglect the whole world rather than each other.  And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process?  ( Mark 8:36 ) Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled. And don't sin by letting anger gain control over you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry  ( Ephesians 4:26 ). At least once a day, try to say something complimentary to your spouse.
