Find Someone Amazing
For all the girls out there who's man treats them awfully... Please don't just deal with it and continue in the relationship. I'm homeschooled and 16 and I absolutely love my boyfriend. I know people don't like when you brag on your man but here are some of the things my boy did that made him so different.
-He talked to my Dad.
-We are both committed to purity as we are both Christians. (Even if you aren't a Christian, purity is extremely beneficial and it helps you not to be blinded to bad things by a physical relationship.)
-We are dating intentionally. We talk about marriage and kids all the time and he's never weirded out by it.
-He doesn't sexualize me.
-He is willing to serve and work hard with me. We volunteer together in church!
-He is hilarious but not dirty minded (hard to find).
-He has a legitimate passion for the Gospel.
-He takes responsibility for his actions. (We've talked about if we messed up and I got pregnant would he feel obliged to marry and support me and he said "of course!"
My youth pastor was talking to my Dad about our relationship and he said that normally, he hates when youth date each other and he always highly discourages it. But he said with my boyfriend and me, it's different. It's actually a good thing that we can be role models for high school relationships.
I know a lot of y'all are going to think this is stupid and think my standards are way too high but these things really have shaped our relationship in an extremely positive way. I know I'm just the sheltered, Christian, homeschooler... but this is real guys. I love my man so much and I hope and pray for a generation of teens who seek relationships that are loving and functional rather than today's societal norms.
