Dating can be done poorly and can lead to hurt and pain. Dating can be done well and can lead to wonderful fruits in the life of the teen and the adult single. Boundaries in Dating is designed to help you find the secrets of dating successfully and avoid the pitfalls of dating poorly.
If you will take this book seriously, seek God as deeply as you know how, establish a healthy community of friends to support you in the process, then dating can be something wonderful indeed. It can be fun, spiritually fulfilling, and growth producing. Keep your boundaries, and enjoy the process. Get involved in life, but remember God’s boundaries and the way that he wants you to live a fulfilled, but holy life.
Dating can be a great time of life, but it must be balanced with God’s boundaries of what is good. We hope that this book helps you find that safety, fulfillment, growth, and freedom.
—Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend
Part 1: You and Your Boundaries
Dating does have its risks. It works best between two responsible people. That’s why the maturity of the two people involved is very important.
Part 2: Whom Should I Date?
If you decide and know ahead of time what you will not put up with in a dating relationship, you could save yourself from a season or even a lifetime of misery. On the other hand, you might be too rigid in your preferences.
Part 3: Solving Dating Problems When You’re Part of the Problem
It’s better to find out in the early months of a relationship that you are with someone who cannot adapt to your wishes than to find out much later.
Part 4: Solving Dating Problems When Your Date Is the Problem
In relationships, you get what you tolerate. Set your limits early on. Make them clear. Enforce them and stick to them.
