03 Oct Top Three Dating Questions: Boundaries, Cohabitation, and Older Singles
Last week, Pastor Mark answered questions around dating, courting, and pre-arranged marriage.
A flood of questions was received this week, so we’re continuing on the topic of dating this week, answering the top-three questions received on the subject.
- Where is the “line” in dating? What is the boundary that should not be crossed with regard to physical relationship?
- What does the Bible say about cohabitation? Does God allow a dating couple in a romantic relationship to live together prior to marriage?
- How should older singles approach dating?
Watch this week’s video, and check out Pastor Mark’s recommended reading on marriage and family for more information.
