Namoro
O namoro cristão deve ser vivido com sabedoria, pureza e propósito. A Bíblia orienta sobre escolher um cônjuge, guardar o coração e honrar a Deus em todo relacionamento.
Guardar o coração
Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, guarda o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida. O namoro exige vigilância e sabedoria.
23 Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
14 Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what partnership has light with darkness?15 And what harmony has Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believes with an infidel?
3 Can two walk together, except they are agreed?
33 Be not deceived: evil companions corrupt good morals.
Pureza e santidade
O corpo é templo do Espírito Santo. A Bíblia nos chama a fugir da imoralidade e esperar no amor com paciência e respeito mútuo.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have of God, and you are not your own?20 For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
13 Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
9 But if they cannot have self-control, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor awake my love, until it pleases.
4 Let marriage be held in honor by all, and the bed undefiled: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
A esposa prudente vem do Senhor
Deus criou o homem e a mulher para completarem-se. A casa e os bens são herança dos pais, mas a esposa prudente vem do Senhor.
18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.
14 House and riches are the inheritance from fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
14 And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
