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 Do not be unequally yoked together [with] unbelievers; for what fellowship does righteousness [have] with lawlessness? And what partnership does light [have] with darkness?15 And what agreement does Christ [have] with Belial? Or what part does a believer [have] with an unbeliever?
3 Can two walk together unless they are agreed?
33 Do not be deceived; evil companionships corrupt good habits.
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 who commits fornication sins against [his] own body.19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit 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 Meats for the belly and the belly for meats, but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body.
9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, why should you stir up or awaken [my] Love until it pleases?
4 Marriage [is] honorable in 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 a helper suitable for him.
14 Houses and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers, and a prudent wife [is] from the LORD.
14 And above all these things [put on] love, which is [the] bond of perfectness.
