Upon finishing reading my book, "Before You Meet Prince Charming", by Sarah Mally,

I encountered some life changing facts. 

I decided to read the book all over again and take notes to share with other young maidens

struggling with today's views on marriage, dating, courtship, etc...

Below are my notes and elaborations: 

Most maidens like to dream about romance. And as a daughter of the King of Kings,

our Heavenly Father has the best in store for us!

Many young maidens are consumed with dating and thinking of boyfriends,

and thus wasting the years of their youth, which could be used fully for the glory of God.

Temptation is the biggest snare in the boy/girl relationships that Satan tries to use 

in purpose to destroy the lives and testimonies of Christain young people.

A true maiden realizes this danger, and sees a need of protection.

This is not evidence of weakness or fear, but rather of courage.

For it takes courage to do things God's way.

Desire the best marriage, & be willing to make the required sacrifices and wait for the best.

Marriage is a picture of our relationship with Christ; God created marriage to be

the most beautiful, joyful, and fulfilling earthly relationship we will ever experience.

A good marriage is priceless.

It's sad, but many young people are willing to forfiet God's wonderful plan

of a beautiful marriage, in exchange for short-term thrills.

If we could grasp how wonderful God's plan is for us, shouldn't we be willing to wait?

And enter into marriage pure (emotionally, spiritually, and physically)

rather than with scars?

Satan tries to use the situtaions we see around us with those who are unhappily married,

and tries to make us believe there are no happy marriages.

Even though all marriages have trial to work through,

God's design for them is succesful, fulfilling, and joyous.

Of course, NO marriage will be perfect, but choose to desire the best,

and refuse to lower your standards to settle for something average.

 Also, there are many benefits from parents help.

Even though some may come from hurting families, or have one parent,

or parents may not be Chirstains... God has placed each one of His children

in the exact families and situtaions that He wants us in for His will.

He will never neglect us and will guide us in our need of help and leading.

"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him:

for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath

made herself ready."

     Revelation 19:7
