Keeping God at the Center of Your Relationship With the Opposite Sex

I know you have probably heard this before but dating in college is very different than dating in high school. In high school most of us had curfews and rules in our house regarding the opposite sex. When you come to college, you don't have all the rules or supervision, there are many opportunities to fall off track and have sex with your boyfriend or girlfriend or someone you may have just met.

It is easy to get caught up in your relationship and forget about all the other important things in your life, mainly God and your relationship with Him.

When you do meet someone and decide to date or have a relationship, one of the most important things that I have learned is that if Christ isn't at the center of your relationship, the relationship is doomed to have problems and most likely end. Having God at the center of your relationship means that you rely on Him for your happiness not the opposite sex and you put God before the other person. With both of you having strong relationships with God and continuing to strengthen that relationship with Him and with each other, your relationship should not have many problems. You are going to have some disagreements but in the long run, you will understand each other better and your relationship will be glorifying God through it all.
