I was surfing through multiply when I saw a blog entitled To Date or Not to Date?
The article on this blog was basically taking about the book of Joshua Harris I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Apparently, according to this article, dating is solely there for the purpose of marriage. If dating is not for this purpose then kiss it goodbye.
Does dating necessarily have to end in marriage? I believe dating is there so that you could get to know each other and see if you have a connection which can eventually evolve in a relationship. But dating with marriage in mind is one scary thought I tell you...
I just can’t understand it. Somehow it feels that the premise of this statement is somehow based on love at first sight. You only date somebody that you believe you can spend the rest of your life with. How would you know that unless you go out on a date? Moreover, the decision to live with somebody for the rest of your life doesn’t even happen immediately. I personally subscribe to living together first. That is, as far as I’m concerned, the best way if you can stand each other’s idiosyncrasies on a daily basis; and if you live with that then you can decide whether or not you want to get married.
If all people would have marriage in their heads when dating I would definitely kiss dating goodbye... I mean it....
