lhan asked me what I'd tell the younger girls / someone who just started dating. Interesting question =) Since I can't sleep anyway, here's a couple thoughts... (definitely not saying I know all, or I am correct, or even that I'm doing them - b/c I'm still learning and definitely not doing all. Just a couple thoughts.. take them with a grain of salt =))
{my own thoughts mixed in with tidbits taken from Joshua Harris' books, since I've been re-reading them anyway}
-to have the right perspective
-[1cor13]
-value and respect the other as friend, brother/sister
-be honest
-definition of successful dating relationship: success does not equal to ring; the goal is grow and guard [so to look back without regrets regardless of outcome]-dwell on what is lovely [phil4:8]. in other words, give the other person benefit of the doubt.
-lastly, cause it's a bit funny on my part; curfews are pretty awesome. I know some say main reason is to protect the other - completely agree, but I've just been so thankful for curfews because I can still squeeze in some studying/etc for the day without staying up too late! hahahahaha (I'm normal, swear =))
[running late, oops, perhaps will update again when I have more time + more thoughts to share]
