What the bible says about dating and marriage

Friendship involves three foundational elements, commitment to fulfill the responsibility of a friend, care and concern for the welfare of your friend, and affection.

This is especially clear from the fine that a man has to pay for sleeping with an unmarried virgin (Exodus -17) and from the requirement that a woman should be a virgin on her wedding night (Deuteronomy -21). So there is sexual immorality that is not adultery.Gen. says, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." This verse tells us that marriage involves the husband and wife severing ties of intimate relationships with parents to cleave to each other.It involves coming together into a permanent bond of unity.It means becoming physically intimate with each other as one flesh.Marriage involves three elements, commitment, care and concern, and emotion.
