I guess where should I start. Your heart is the most important thing in the world. It is the thing that you should guard it with your life. For instance, do not let girls sway you guys from the truth and understand that just be prepared in all circumstances. In a relationship, prepare for the unexpected like issues between each other or families. I know for a fact Nicole's parents never liked me in the beginning just because I was older than her and her first boyfriend. So just be prepared to hit some snags along the way.
A verse that goes along with relationships is Proverbs 4:23:
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
Just remember that no matter who you like or want to date. Guard your heart because you do not want to get hurt by the girl you thought was the "girl of your dreams." Listen to what God has to say to you and in terms of following your heart. Do not always follow your heart because it can mislead you. For me it mislead me, to the point of feeling bad for myself during my first year of college. I remember crying alot at home because of the pain inside of me and also knowing that I did not guard my heart and prepare myself for the outcome. I always hoped that my ex-girlfriend and I would get back together. Such lies that I played out in my head and in my heart. So just remember to guard your heart and never lose sight of God. God will lead you along the right path and in terms of dating, He already picked out that special person for you.
Question to think about:
Relationships in the world are portrayed as the feeling of comfort, love, and care, but what is God's idea of a genuine relationship?

I think Ron made a great imagery of how people in relationships should be walking side by side towards God. If people become closer to God and more like Christ, they'll naturally be more caring and loving towards each other.
