Something i've been pondering, which may be a mis interpretation of bibilical standards. if its a sin to lust, how does one get married or date? wouldn't the initial attraction towards someone be a sin, since jesus himself says "but i tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (matthew 5:28). so really, doesn't this prove that an arranged marriage is the only way?

We are waaaaay over sexed. Everything is so sexualized.

If you can date for a time, stay vertical and stay six feet apart AND still enjoy each other's company - you have a shot at a relationship.

There is so much more to relationships than sex and when we start with sex the other stuff gets overlooked until your married and you find out she is a real witch.

Simply put, if you can't control your appetites you aren't mature enough for a relationship. Don't get into one until you can.

The first few months should be spent looking for red flags, not screwing.
