Adolescence is a transition between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence is also often felt as one of the most beautiful times. Adolescence is a very important, critical and very vulnerable period because if humans go through their teenage years with failure, it is possible that they will find failure in the next life journey. At this time also teenagers can not be separated from the feeling of love that must be owned by everyone. The feeling of love that blossoms in adolescents, is expressed by dating. Dating behavior can have positive and negative impacts. Unhealthy dating can cause teenagers to slip into mistakes that have a bad influence throughout their lifetime. Therefore, the role of the Christian Religious Education Teacher as a counselor is a strategic role in accompanying dating teenagers by instilling Christian values so that dating is in accordance with God's word.
