I was watching a video by Ken Ham of Answers In Genesis the other day and he was talking about the family.  What was amusing was that this video was made while his son was at college—the same college I attended.  We were both in the same year, the same major.

In any case, I remember the events that Ham was foretelling—his son dating and getting married.  That raised in my mind, again, the question about dating and Christians.

You see, I see all sides of the story.

I totally agree with the courtship crowd when it comes to parental involvement.  I believe that if you keep the parents out at the early stages, you’re likely to have problems later on—problems that could be avoided.

However, I met my wife on AIM¹ and my cousin met his on E-Harmony.  I’m not saying this is for everyone, but if you read any christian dating reviews you can see that there are people out there that are truly searching.

So, my question is, is it wrong for Christians to use online dating?  Is it wrong for Christians to date period?
