Jessica Martin, Examiner.com writer and author of The Christian Lady’s Dating Constitution: A Memorandum Addressed to Teens, Their Parents, and Young Adults addresses the world of dating from the Christian perspective, using Biblical principles to essentially draft a constitution or Bill of Rights. More importantly, this is not the typical abstinence or purity pledge book; instead, the different points outlined in the constitution examine the sometimes-clear triggers of an unhealthy relationship. A stat supplied on Jessica Martin’s website reveals a harrowing fact: Teen suicide-the third leading cause of death in teens-is linked to depression, loneliness, and stress over relationships.

Geared primarily to Christian pre-teens, the principles presented in the book can translate to men and women of any age. In her own words, Martin states, “I believe Satan attacks young adults in two major factors in their spiritual life: ignorance and doubt.” Not surprisingly, these two elements run rampant as young adults face major developmental changes during this life stage; however, Martin argues that Bible teachings and Scripture can be used as a shield to protect young adults from Satanic attacks.

An interesting argument in the book is that parents have an increasing responsibility to not assume that children know their limits and rights in a dating relationship. Topics such as sex are delicately handled among young adults. However, Martin adamantly states that, “You have to instill into your children values that will shape their future
expectations of relationships.” In other words, most people at the age of fourteen are emotionally and mentally fragile, and more often than not, seeking attention and approval from those around them (e.g. peers, family, etc.). We live in an era where media opts to market sex-appeal, whether it is in magazines, films, etc. Hence, it is more important than ever to instill the proper knowledge and Word of God within children at an early age.

Jessica Martin’s own experiences reveal a glaring truth: people on the outside can say what they want about abusive and unhealthy relationships; however, the nature of the beast is entirely different from the inside. Growing up, Martin ridiculed those who allowed their boyfriends to be abusive and controlling. Martin, a perfectionist, found herself trying to make a relationship work that was mired with emotional, verbal, and spiritual abuse by a boyfriend who was allegedly a “Godly-man.” The point is that, no matter how strong one is, guilt, ignorance, fear, and love can alter an individual’s perception.

Ultimately, The Christian Lady’s Dating Constitution: A Memorandum Addressed to Teens, Their Parents, and Young Adults is a must read prevention guide seeking to educate young adults on recognizing and removing one’s self from unhealthy relationships.
