Can you be making out with your girlfriend/boyfriend and still be glorifying the Lord? Should making out be part of a God-seeking relationship?

"Making out" may cover a lot of territory, so I'm not sure how you would define that. For some, making out might be a closed-lipped kiss that lasts 10 seconds. For others, making out might be a full french kiss that includes roaming hands. Because of the wide variation in defining 'making out' I would suggest that the answer to this question lies in the purpose for such physical closeness.

In my experience, most couples who 'make out' are not focused on spiritual things in the moment of the "make out." They are typically focused on how good they feel physically with this other person. Physical affection can be shown in many other ways that allow a couple to keep healthy boundaries in tact, yet express deep affection for one another ( i.e. holding hands or non-sexual hugs). I would suggest that "making out" should not be on the list of activities for a God-seeking relationship.
