trigger CompareDates on TestObj1__c (before insert, before update) {
    set<string> setTstObj3 = new set<string>();
    for(TestObj1__c objTst1 : trigger.new)
        if(objTst1.TestObj3ID__c !=null){
            setTstObj3.add(objTst1.TestObj3ID__c);
        }
    map<string,TestObj3__c> mapIdWiseTstObj3 = new map<string,TestObj3__c>();
    for(TestObj3__c objTstObj3: [select id,dateTimeTestobj3__c from TestObj3__c where Id IN :setTstObj3]){
        mapIdWiseTstObj3.put(objTstObj3.Id,objTstObj3);
    }
    list<TestObj1__c> compareDates = new list<TestObj1__c>();
    for(TestObj1__c objTst1 : trigger.new)
    {
        if(objTst1.TestObj3ID__c != null){
            if(mapIdWiseTstObj3.containsKey(objTst1.TestObj3ID__c)){
                TestObj3__c objTst3 = mapIdWiseTstObj3.get(objTst1.TestObj3ID__c);
                if(objTst1.dateTimeTestobj1__c > objTst3.dateTimeTestobj3__c){     
                    objTst1.addError('date should be lesser');
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
This example is like, if a date/time field is created on account, and if a related contact is being created or updated. If value of date/time field on contact is greater than value of date/time field on account, it will throw an error.

setTstObj3 - set of Ids of TestObj3__c which arer associated with atleast 1 TestObj1__c .
