God's definition of true love is to protect and provide for another person. This means consciously making the other person's happiness, health and spiritual growth as important to you as your own. The following guidelines will help you integrate this definition into your experience with that special person in your life:
• Put Jesus Christ first in your relationship.
• Be open and honest with each other.
• Accept each other completely, including faults and failures.
• Seek your parents’ approval for your relationship.
• Avoid any setting or activity that may tempt you to compromise your commitment to sexual purity.
• Handle disagreements quickly and lovingly.
• Emphasize the “friend” in boyfriend and girlfriend.
Some Christians at my college challenged me to prove that the Bible was not accurate. As a skeptic, I spent 2 years trying to do this, and concluded that the Bible that we have today describes accurately what was said and done 2000 years ago. When I then read the Bible, I saw that God wanted a personal relationship with me. I want you to see that God also wants a personal relationship with you, one that you can depend upon in your life.
