Stop Test-Driving Your Girlfriend
by Michael Lawrence, Boundless Webzine

Excerpt of article

“How do I know if she’s the one?”

I can’t think of a question I encounter more often among single Christians. The point of the question is clear enough. But a rich irony dwells beneath the question. In a culture that allows us to choose the person we’re going to marry, no one wants to make the wrong choice. Especially if, as Christians, we understand that the choice we make is a choice for life.

Real Advice: I’m secretly dating

I met this really nice guy at a youth camp and he asked me out. I told him no at first because I’m now allowed to date, but then I really thought about it!

So the next day I told him that I would secretly date him and he’s fine with it! We really like each other and he’s so sweet and perfect for me!

I’m not allowed to date for 3 more years and Im 14. I love him and I know that he loves me and I don’t want my parents to find out that I’m dating him.

But I want to ask them if I can again so if they say yes I can! How can I ask them about dating. If they say no it is going to be even harder to keep my relationship secret! How can I ask them and have a relationship at the same time? I know that whatever they say Im not going to break up with him cause I love him! Got any answers to my questions? Sincerely, Tyrha (more…)

Real Advice: My boyfriend hits me

You are supposed to be loved, not harmedI love my boyfriend, but he hits me and says cruel things when he is angry. Last night we were walking in a dark parking lot and he pushed me and called me a (derogatory term) just because I didn’t agree with something he said. He has his good moments and that’s when I realize how much I love him. I’m torn. Carey W., Age 16

Real Advice: My Soul Mate

I’m 19 years old and lately I’ve been praying that God would send me my soul mate and that I would know who that special person was when the time is right. I’ve always wanted to be a wife and a mother more than anything else in world. I’ve always felt that that was meant to be. I haven’t really dated much. I’ve had a few close guy friends, but not boyfriends.

I’m just worried that I will never find the right person.

Real Question: Feelings or a Real Relationship


~Real Question~

Recently I started talking to a guy who’s in my church choir. We’ve been talking for some time and I told him that I had feelings for him. He said he had feelings for me too and also he said that he has never been in a relationship before. He wants a relationship where he can be with someone wholeheartedly, but until it is the right time we don’t communicate as much.

I agree with him and respect him for that. But then I got in touch with a guy I knew from way back. We went out for his birthday recently and I had a great time with him. I stopped liking him before because he was a player. He used to say that he does the “on the side” thing. I don’t know if he has changed from then and I like him what should I do?
