DATING: A MARRIAGE MARKET

Author: -

Look out for a good "marriage material" on your dates The desire to associate or mingle with the opposite sex is as natural as the sun rises in the morning.   Young men and women growing up always have the desire to socialize with people of the opposite sex. As such, they engage in all kinds of social activities like sports, excursions, parties, picnics, birthday clebrations, shopping, seminars and even church activities. The meaning of “dating” to people in modern times is largely seen as an issue of semantics – the personal definition varies for everyone.

Let’s explore five of these myths: Myth #1: There is one special person for me Some people believe that God created just one special person for them – their "soul mate". The men believe that their "rib" was used to create one particular woman, and the women also have the faith that they were made out of one particular man’s rib; and so they have to search for that person.   That sounds very comforting and romantic, but it’s just not true. It is illogical and "untheological"!  There are over seven billion people living across seven continents in the wo...
