Relationships are very important. A relationship can change the course of your life, especially if it leads to marriage. That is why it’s so important to recognize that in a relationship you can experience many emotions that look and feel like love but are not true, lasting love. The emotions we often call love can come and go quite easily, but true love (the kind that lasts a lifetime) must be developed and cultivated.
We encourage you to invest time in understanding one another’s goals and dreams. Also, you should both study the Word and pray regularly so you can be led by the Spirit of God in establishing a marriage foundation that will last a lifetime
Life changing is how “in-love” feels in adolescence because it is a far more moving and compelling relationship than the young people have known before. The experience is all consuming — so each is always on the other’s mind. This is the person they want to spend all their time with — so time with good friends is often set aside. It is a merged relationship — so each one feels part of the other, not quite whole when they are not together. They are highly sensitized to each other — so both are alert to subtle interpersonal signals and are easily hurt by small slights from each other. The intimacy is deeper than with anyone else. Too feel so deeply known and deeply knowing makes other relationships seem shallower by comparison
Break ups of in-love relationships in high school are particularly painful for the one who is broken off and feels hurt, helpless, betrayed, abandoned, or rejected. Sometimes the response to being jilted in an in-love relationship seems to be sex linked.
