Pastor J.D. shares his thoughts on dating and courtship, as well as some helpful guidelines for appropriate displays of affection before marriage.
A glimpse inside this episode:
- Courting vs. Dating
- Why I don’t agree with courting: Courting goes beyond the Bible teaches; it is inconsistent (e.g. giving flowers can be sexual); and it puts unhealthy pressure on dating when you court. But we can learn from the idea of courting.
- But I think we should keep dating light
- Dating is a road that is leading toward marriage.
- Dating is best when it is non-exclusive, non-physical, non-escalating (especially when you’re younger).
- Appropriate show of affection vs. foreplay

- Nothing in the dark
- Nothing should last longer than 5 seconds
- Nothing below the neck
- Never lie down
