The Ten Commandments of Christian College Dating
By Reverend John Stumbo
Thou shalt not marry an idiot, including but not limited to the person who claims, “God told me you have to marry me.”
Thou shalt treat engagement as engagement, not as marriage.
Thou shalt marry a friend, but not thy only friend
Thou shalt not attempt to create thy partner into thine own image.
Thou shalt listen to the questioning voices.
Thou shalt give greater priority to thine holiness than thine happiness.
Thou shalt marry because thou hast found the right person, not because thou dost desire to be married and happen to be dating someone.
Thou shalt not kiss passionately anyone with whom thou canst not pray passionately (but just because thou canst pray dost not mean thou shouldst kiss).
Thou shalt never require thy partner to be God.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength and thy partner as thyself.

Thou shalt not use words like “exegesis” or “hermeneutics” nor any other word that sounds like something you should see a dermatologist or proctologist about.

10 Christian Dating Tips:
1. If he tells your that you are hot…
Tell him God made you hot.
2. If he wants to hold your hand…
Give him a Bible.
3. If he tries to get closer…
Tell him the Holy Spirit is wooing him.
4. If he asks to pay for dinner…
Remind him that Jesus also paid a debt He did not owe!
5. If he reaches his arm around you…
Tell him that nobody will ever be as close to you as Jesus is.
(or ask him if you instead could “lay hands” on him in prayer)
6. If he tries to kiss you…
Remind him that a kiss killed your Savior.
(and you’re not ready to “speak in tongues”)
7. If he asks to come inside…
Ask him if he has asked Jesus to come inside his heart.
8. If he tells you he loves you…
Tell him that Jesus loves him.
9. If he gets angry that you won’t put out…
Clarify to him that W.W.J.D. does NOT mean “Who would Jesus Do.”
10. After you dump him…
Tell him that Jesus Christ will never leave or forsake him.
