Lust
as described by scripture is an inappropriate and excessive desire or
craving for something that preoccupies our mind and actions. When a person
becomes preoccupied with lust and desire until it affects their perspective on
everything else around them there is a problem. Dating relationships among young
people are often ruled by emotional and sexual desires that fuel into addiction
later on in life.
When
a young spiritually immature mind believes it is ok to have sex before
marriage, or even if they don't, but have not been taught to respect the opposite
sex, they will have sex before marriage. This is what dating is. This starts
the validation to have sex with others, to view naked people having sex, and to
think on sexual things when they should be thinking on more important things
for their growing up years.
