• Jun. 24, 2006 - You know you believe in courtship if....
I'm
still working on assembling my article about camping, and, hopefully
soon, an update about my life. I don't exactly have lots of time at the
moment, because I'm preparing to lead the Hemet CI with Jay, and am
getting ready for the Sacramento conference, and for an employee picnic
today, and for Mally's party tomorrow (she'll be 2!), plus various
other time-consuming things.
While you're waiting for an update, here's a hilarious article by Gretchen Glaser-Acheson.
You Know You Believe in Courtship If....
 Your first kiss is at your wedding.
 Your first date is on your honeymoon.
You own nearly 50 books and tapes on relationships and similar topics.
Every time you’re asked for a date you answer, "You’ll have to ask my dad."
You’re the only one at the Valentine banquet who has their brother for an escort.
You cringe every time you see an unmarried couple kissing—whether in a movie or on the street.
You know who Bill Gothard and Josh Harris are.
You know who Josh Harris’ wife is.
You can talk for hours about the right way to approach relationships, without ever getting tired.
You’ve never been "out" with a guy before, don’t have a boyfriend or crush, and never plan to.
When asked if you have a boyfriend you reply, "No, and I never want one! I’d rather just get married."
You don’t spend time alone with a guy—until after the wedding.
Words like "betrothal" and "winning her heart" sound comforting—not terrifying or restricting.
When asked by a guy to go to
a basketball game, you respond "Sure! My little brothers have been
wanting me to take them. It’ll be fun to go together."
Your little sister tells a fellow 3-year-old, "We don’t believe in boyfriends and girlfriends."
You compare notes with friends on what you learned reading Best Friends for Life and Of Knights and Fair Maidens.
You frequently shock other girls your age by saying, "I’ve never had a boyfriend in my life!"
The closest you get to a deeply romantic conversation is a discussion about an evolution/creation quiz.
When asked about your boyfriends, you start listing the male horses, cows, cats, and dogs your family owns.
Your idea of a "romance novel" is the book of Ruth.
You’re the only young lady in your youth group who doesn’t consider a single girl older than 18 to be an "old maid."
Your idea of a "date" is having breakfast with your dad.
You love shocking people
with the statement that you’re "never going to date, but plan to get
married and have lots of children."
