Double Trouble

(Edited)

The concept of double dating has become a widely accepted social phenomenon, but I strongly believe it's a practice that has been grossly abused. In my opinion, every individual should know their worth and understand how it's valued and respected. Unfortunately, the lack of discipline in my generation has led to a devaluation of personal worth.

People's self-worth has become as volatile as the naira, fluctuating wildly without any sense of stability or self-respect. To truly understand one's value, it's essential to come from a standpoint of dominion, where one's core values are reflected. These values should be rare, scarce, shiny, and glittering, held in high regard.

The term "double dating" is often used unashamedly, but I believe it's a concept that's fundamentally flawed from the start. The idea of two couples dating simultaneously is not only misguided but also undermines the very foundations of a healthy relationship. As the Bible says, "A man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife" (Matthew 19:5). This scripture emphasizes the importance of a monogamous relationship between two mature adults.

Every relationship should be viewed from the standpoint of marriage, with the ultimate goal of building a lifelong partnership. However, many relationships today are founded on misconceptions and a lack of focus. Two unprepared individuals meet, and without a clear vision for their future, they embark on a relationship that's doomed to fail.

As a Christian, I believe that the concept of double dating is not only unbiblical but also unwise. The scripture clearly states, "Husband of one wife" (1 Timothy 3:2). It's essential to prioritize what's truly important and focus on building a meaningful relationship with one person.

Double dating is not a viable or healthy concept. If a relationship isn't aligned with one's vision for marriage, it's best to reevaluate and prioritize what's truly important. By doing so, we can build stronger, more meaningful relationships that honor our values and respect our worth.

Let thy joy be built up from within not in finding substitutes, In contrast, double dating can lead to emotional fragmentation, confusion, and hurt. By pursuing multiple relationships, we risk spreading ourselves too thin, neglecting our own emotional needs, and compromising our values. Moreover, double dating can be a Band-Aid solution for deeper issues, such as fear of commitment, low self-esteem, or a lack of purpose.
I choose to glorify God in acts and deed...
Say No to double dating now!!!

Thank you for this nice piece.
If the bible was emphasizing about monogamy but why is that great men in the bible have two wives?

I'm abit confused there, for years I've been pondering on this and I haven't gotten an answer yet.

Thank you for reading through...
The great mean just like us had flaws, I've not seen where God ordered someone to marry so many wives, they did it out of self will my dear.
As we all are working to beholding Christ, you should expect mistakes also and that's why our sample for living should be Christ.
We learn from the men of old and be careful not to repeat their mistakes Sir.

I am sorry to say this but I don't think the Bible ever frowned on polygamy because a lot of great men had more than one spouses in the Bible. The very same Bible told me with more than one wives to treat them all equally

Interesting, thank you for going through, please permit me to refer you to the first comment I replied.
I addressed the issue of polygamy and monogamy.
To add on that, your point on equality came from the old testament, we live in the new convenant now, God is not unjust to tell you to treat your wives unequal, it has happened and you'll need to right the wrong by representing Christ to them no matter the troubles Sir.

Hahahahahah as long as the Old testament is still a part of the Bible then I am sorry to say this it still counts after all Jesus Christ himself said he is not here to change a fraction of the law
So tell me what is the new covenant

I'm sorry dear I'm not hear to make you believe me, I said what it's right, it's left for you to be opened to understanding and not trying to be defensive, if polygamy works for you, fine... But I'm sure we'll always have stories to tell.
Let's draw this curtain up 😊 Thank you for engaging

Double dating stems from stand point of weakness and lack of contentment. The end result is always calamity..

You couldn't have said it any more better than this. It's something that you commit to in totality. So if someone is not ready to commit one person, then such person should forget about getting involved with someone else, trying to see which of them would work out.
