Some believe you shouldn’t date unless you’re open to marriage; others believe casual dating is okay. I believe either should be purposeful. For instance, don’t date a non-believer. And, protect young children. Kids under five bond fast and then they are hurt when the person is no longer around. Finally, date with purity and balance consistent with how you taught your kids. Even empty nest parents need to model how to handle infatuation and put God at the center of their relationship.
