ESSAY: Explain your views on relationships.
So, what do I know about relationships? Some might argue that I know absolutely nothing about relationships because I have never been in a relationship. I would argue the same thing. However, you don't necessarily have to be involved in a relationship to observe relationships around you and make valid justifications.
Physical relationships...why? A relationship is bond of love between two individuals. Sure...being physical in a relationship is just a show of affection, but can't these emotions be expressed just as easily with words? It's like swearing. If you're upset with someone, you can call them an idiot...or you can swear at them. You're getting the same point across...you're mad at them. However, with swearing, you're just making a bolder statement. That's the very aspect that attracts people to cursing. They feel that if they swear, they're making a tough statement that expresses their own personalities as being tough. Are we as Christians willing to give up our morals just to make a bolder statement? So why do those in relationships need to jump straight into the physicality to make a statement? You might as well just go into any city's town square, rip off your clothes, and "do it like they do it on the Discovery Channel". Now wouldn't that be a bold statement? I say that you just go back to the old fashioned "I Love You", and leave the making out behind. If you go to FHS, I'm sure you've become disgusted with the traditional scene of a hot couple making out near one of the stairways. Disgusted? I'm sure I was. So do it in private? Nobody's watching, so it won't matter...uh...did you forget that God's watching?
If you wanna go to a dance, go to a dance...with that special someone. If you're gonna dance with that special someone, dance like they're your best friend...after all, that's what they are. Are you going to bump and grind against your childhood best friend (same gender) who you always used to climb trees and get into trouble with? I sure hope not. How is bumping and grinding showing your affection towards that special someone? You're basically having full-proof protected sex. I went to one dance out of the twelve dances I could have gone to, and I'll tell you, it didn't go well at all. And it used to occasionally bug me...but I'll tell you, I wouldn't trade that nightmare for an unbridled night of dancing passion if it means giving up my pure morals. I might have been ditched, but I didn't lose any respect or dignity. And trust me...if you're one of these people who have bumped and ground at a dance with that special someone, and you say to yourself "I didn't lose any respect or dignity either.", don't be so sure...because people are watching. And whether you know it or not, some people aren't impressed with what they see.
I apologize if I've offended anyone that this applies to. I'm just giving you the one-up on what I truly feel should be the basis of a relationship. Don't base your relationships on the physicality that you desire to show towards your man or woman. Base it on the true emotions that you feel for each other, and express those feelings to them daily with words. Then, other people will see the true love of the relationship expressed through the feelings you express to each other, and you'll be able to respect your own relationship without guilt. Then, God will smile down on you and bless the relationship that has blossomed into what He intended it to be. Later dayz!
