voiciblanche Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I don't know for sure. I do agree with what people are saying about not messing around with God's plans, but we also have to take scandal into account. Obviously, a minor in a "dating" relationship with someone much older (meaning, not another minor) than him- or herself is almost always completely inappropriate. Now, would a twenty-year-old dating a forty-year-old be scandalous as well? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Voiciblanche All you need to know about dating at the age of thirteen is this. Boys smell bad. And when girls are not around, they like to fluffy air extraction a lot. There is more information about boys that will be released to you when you are 30.

Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I don't think it's appropiate for someone to marry a person who is old enough to be their mother/father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 It certainly is unusual in our culture, but that wouldn't be true of other times and cultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Teresa, physically one can parent a child at 13 or 14. (not that its a good idea obviously) But does that mean we should limit age ranges in dating to less than 13 or 14 years? If we do that, we could be missing out on some fabulous people. It might not work for you, but it may very well work for others. I don't feel its my place to say that a relationship with years difference is inappropriate. I'll let God decide that.

Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I'm just saying that I see it as unatural. Take it or leave it. It's just my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Well, your 2 cents and my 2 cents make 4 cents. Can we get anything for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
