If you are dating someone, you should date with intention. NOT the pressure to just marry the first person you date, but you should have the thought in the back of your mind. I personally would not recommend dating in high school or middle school, unless you are close to college and able to get married within 2-3 years. That’s definitely the max amount of time I recommend dating/being engaged to help you stay pure before marriage. Even then it’s difficult. I share a lot of other thoughts in this
