Comments on: Why shouldn’t I steady date in High School? http://ldswhy.com/qa/why-shouldnt-i-steady-date-in-high-school/ Questions and Answers Sun, 26 Feb 2012 06:34:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Jenny http://ldswhy.com/qa/why-shouldnt-i-steady-date-in-high-school/comment-page-1/#comment-9815 Jenny Sat, 26 Nov 2011 06:26:46 +0000 http://ldswhy.com/qa/?p=634#comment-9815 We have seven children. I have witnessed how difficult it is to keep this commandment. When they have the commitment to postpone steady dating until after the mission, THEY STAND ALONE. Everyone seems to kind of ignore this counsel from our modern-day prophets. But I just want to say that I have seen huge blessings come as a result of the determination to follow this counsel. Things such as: *High school years are void of the typical boy/girl drama *They greatly increase their chance of remaining morally clean. *By dating many different people they realize things they would and would not be happy with in a spouse. *They still do perfectly fine learning how to show affection. *They have a quiet confidence that they are following the prophets. *They end up with amazing, wonderful spouses who are as committed as they are to keeping the commandments. -just to name a few! How much are those blessings worth? The responsibility to understand this principle, lies with the parents. We have seven children. I have witnessed how difficult it is to keep this commandment.

Steady Dating is one of the hardest temptations for me. It's hard for me to date at all lately because I'm afraid I will eventually give into temptation and it will eventually lead up to steady dating. This helped me understand more clearly how important it is to be dating, just not steadily. This is really great. Steady Dating is one of the hardest temptations for me.

In a group, reactions to others will often show the persons " true colors" and leave you with a better understanding, especially over time, of whether they are truly a compatable match for you... try it out.
