Good Love Institute's 12 commandments

I went to "Have a Good Date" talk in Richmond with a few friends on Jun 16,Saturday. I wanna share these meaningful commandments from the organization's website with you.


-只考慮基督徒作為發展長遠關係的對象,若心儀的對象不是基督徒,暫作普通朋友交往,等候 神的帶領;
-與異性交往,雙方關係當保持清晰明確(普通朋友、考慮拍拖或已開始拍拖等),不可含糊隱晦,或用「好朋友」、「兄妹」、「契兄妹」等名稱掩飾;
-已有固定伴侶的,願意與其他異性保持距離,以示尊重伴侶及避免誤會;
-願意定期約見導師或守望你的長者,並為關係作階段性評估;
-把約會當為神所擁有的,神有主權。若關係沒有進展,願意放手,並為神在此「暫時的」關係中感謝祂;
-即使分手,也尊重對方是曾經愛過的人,不作傷害他的事及不說傷害他的話,也不作傷害自己的事;
-當面對分手,願意給自己時間療傷(一年或以上),不趕急進入另一段關係;
-積極培養有助建立成熟關係的質素和能力:獨立自主、能作決定、穩健理財、表達與聆聽、幽默感、有愛心、忍耐、忠誠、坦白、肯認錯、能饒恕、責任感、自制;體恤別人、願意分享與承擔、能委身、能建立親密關係;
-不可作媒人撮合他人或散播別人戀情的消息,或在別人的戀情上亂加意見;
-不可有撬牆腳、一腳踏兩船、三角戀等不良行徑;
-應當竭力追求聖潔、及以聖經作為戀愛及建立婚姻的最高標準;
-婚後努力培育關係,遇有困難,及早求助;靠著神的恩典直到一生一世。

Nice. I think a lot of things are common sense, but it's still nice to point out.

I see this one is quite tough.

-不可作媒人撮合他人或散播別人戀情的消息,或在別人的戀情上亂加意見;

But if I'm not doing this "亂加意見", then it's okay, right? :)

Clara: Thanks for sharing. I would go to this event too if I'm in Vancouver :)

Mansun: Does that mean you do a lot of "作媒人撮合他人或散播別人戀情的消息" ? HAHAHAHA XD

It sounds like a relevant and useful seminar.

Mansun, you can do whatever you want to do as long as you feel the peace (from God) in your heart and this action does not have conflict with bible's teachings. Ha...you should know more than me. :)

Donna: you never know :)

Clara: what you said is too abstract :P
