Godly principles on Dating by Voddie Baucham

[perseusrex]

As someone who's married with an excellent wife, this is FANTASTIC advise. 15k views on this after 6 years vs WAP song having 3 billion views.... perfect sign of the times...

I really wish Voddie Baucham could vet my potential suitors. My father died almost 12 years ago and sadly we never had these conversations.

Honestly for some couples courtship works and for others dating. The spiritual christian maturity is WAY more important than the way we get into relationships.

I love the 200, 000 dollar car analogy.

So awesome! Bro Voddie for president!!!

Love it the end especially. Want to know take on broken homes in this. No gatekeeper or one who has no value on daughter in home. What can the girl do when those fatherly roles can’t be fulfilled and the damage is done. What’s your advice then?

I wish I had a voice like this in my ear when I was young, crazy and yes very stupid.

I love the car analogy, but I don't fully understand why it doesn't go the other way. Shouldn't the son going with the daughter also have a lot of value where the parents should make sure the daughter will also treat him with the same care and honour? I know they have different roles and the man has more responsibility to protect but I don't see why all the pressure and high expectations only seem to be put on the man

I’d Vote for Vodie to be President and I think he’s awesome.. Having said that, courtship is just trash advice…

“You should have marriage at the forefront”
how does that work practically? Does the man propose immediately? What is so harmful about dinner and a movie? Courtship is great when the woman is beautiful. Courtship is horrible. Advised for any man because he is putting pressure to have a relationship with this girl when they haven’t even known each other. The majority of divorces are caused by women..

This advice can work if you are the father and they are under the age of 18 because you have to protect them. As long as they live in your house, they still need to abide by some structure and rules..

48 percent of those who marry before the age of 18 are likely to divorce within 10 years, compared to 25 percent of those who marry after the age of 25.

I think 25 is good age to marry, but if a man waits too long, maybe the great woman will be married. I’m glad that I waited for the right time and I married at 31.

My advice to young people dating under 25 is set your expectations.. the younger you are the more difficult dating and marriage will be. Do yourself are not fully grown and your brain is not developed. And you’re with someone who is not fully understood who they are.

It is ultimately the child's decision whom they marry
