  • Dating…Why Wait? (5-13-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Josh McDowell, who came to give a talk to our teenagers at Heartlight some time ago, revealed some startling statistics about teens and dating in his “Why Wait?” research.

    Josh’s research revealed that when it comes to dating, maturity does make a difference. In a shocking comparison, a child who begins dating at age 12 is at least four times more likely to become sexually active before graduation than a teenager who begins dating at age 16. Even a year makes a difference…a 15 year old is twice as likely to have sex before graduation as waiting until age 16 to begin dating.

    Whatever your views on dating, be sure to know that waiting a few years is likely a smart choice.
