LDS Suggestions and Guidelines for Righteous Dating

Good choice. You can understand those rules and still have no idea what your teenage Mormon friend is thinking. I want to explain a Mormon belief that is central to our beliefs that is responsible for just about every dating decision we make. Eternal marriage means that Mormons believe that if we are married with proper Priesthood authority in a Mormon temple then God will honor our marriage not just on earth, but also after we die and are in Heaven. They are the bright-line, never-compromise standards.

Mormon Dating Rules (Explained for Non-Mormon Teens!)

Mormon teenagers are instructed not to date until they are at least 16 years old, and then are encouraged to avoid dating the same person too seriously. Some Mormon youth choose only to go on group dates, others may date one person more seriously. When getting serious with one person, you obviously become more physically comfortable, which can make it more difficult to keep certain higher standards. Though it can work out, youth leaders and most parents encourage teenagers to avoid dating seriously because it is generally the best and easiest way to uphold your standards.
