Courtship: Reality Check

Thursday  in the early morning  Mystie

Yet another gem from Cindy at Dominion Family, who has — I just learned a few days ago — 9 children, 8 of whom are boys. No wonder she has such good posts on raising boys! :)

[Courtship: A Many Splendored Thing?](http://dominionfamily.com/blog/2007/06/love-many-splendoured-thing/)

“It is not an easy topic to discuss because people have violent opinions and the younger the children the more violent the opinions get. [...] The sin we need to shelter our children from is not just outside our homes. Sin is right now lurking in our own homes. Courtship can’t help with that. Preparing your daughter or son to marry a sinner is much better than training them to marry their perfect knight. Applying the gospel to romance is the only real antidote and I don’t believe you can create an institution out of that. You must walk beside your children teaching them when you rise up and when you lie down. Plugging them into a model that you heard some speaker touting is not applying the gospel.”
