1. Dating
a) One of the things that Christians can mostly agree to disagree upon is the subject of dating. Perhaps this is because that word "dating" is not even used in the Bible, yet the idea of relationships between men and women are laced throughout God's Word.
b) Dating is defined as "when there is a relationship between one man and one woman which goes beyond friendship and continues into marriage; dating would be the time they spend with one another."
c) Some Christians hold to the "courtship" view, which is a way for the man and woman to get to know each other, and each other's family, with the permission of parents. Generally, the man and woman are chaperoned during a courtship.
d) Bible verses about dating then could include most any verse that speaks of relationships and the importance of choosing a like-minded Christian as a husband or wife.
2. Choose Someone Who Walks With the Lord
Psalms 46:5
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
2 Corinthians 6:14-15
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
