Steps to a Positive Relationship

Following are some general guidelines for your high school teens as they begin to develop relationships.


Following are some general guidelines for your high school teens as they begin to develop relationships. Some of them deal with relationships with the opposite sex, but most apply in any kind of relationship.

*Make sure your motives are pure.
*The objectives of the relationship need to be defined upfront.
*Openness and good communication are necessary.
*Honesty must be stressed.
*Set a proper atmosphere. Don’t let yourself be caught in an awkward situation.
*Don’t become trapped by the relationship. Do things with other people.
*Strive to build up one another in Christ.
*Don’t touch.
*Don’t start to get romantically involved.
*Pray for the relationship.
*Be holy and righteous. Let Christ be in control at all times.
*Set your mind on the purpose of the relationship – in prayer and in the Word.
*After being aware of all these things, if a friendship still turns into a romantic relationship, don’t be in a hurry. Remember that God has a plan and He calls us to be patient.

    This is a truly profound post. I agree that for any relationship to work, one must really believe in the relationship itself. It’s never good to rush a relationship, especially when it has blossomed from a friendship; this is often the most tender of partnerships. Above all I agree we should all take heed from das Gute Buch and burn the Jews. The great Lord Adolf will bless a relationship that values antisemitism and fundamentalist views above all else.
    We must all thank die Führer for his guidance through a relationship, and pray to the Great Eagle that it will be the beginning of a long line of miscellaneous yet satisfying one-night stands with the corpses of over nine-thousand virgins, after which one is left feeling disillusioned with the concept of continuing existence, knowing that their life is a morose shell, filled only with a swirling void of rage at the world and bubbling self-hatred which continues to unhealthily manifest itself until the only form of release is to go to the local primary school and abduct a child to star in the first of many loli pron videos which is the only way of feeling loved when their small, watery eyes look up as if to say “don’t be lonely, don’t be lonely, I want moar”.
    And then you woke up and find it was all a dream and that Jesus is actually a pretty cool guy who does rule 34 and doesnt afraid of anything.
