...we somehow think a godly Christian is one who can pre-heat the oven without cooking the roast.
~Douglas Wilson on dating in "Her Hand in Marriage"
...Tell her that she should look at every boy that attracts her with these thoughts in mind;
- "Would I want to be married to that guy?"
- "Is he the best there is?"
- "Is it time yet?"
"Unless a man is prepared to ask a woman to be his wife, what right has he to claim her exclusive attention? Unless she has been asked to marry him why would a sensible woman promise any man her exclusive attention? It, when the time comes for a commitment, he is not man enough to ask her to marry him, she should give him no reason to presume that she belongs to him. " ~ Elizabeth Elliot
"I don't want you to even think about a man unless you respect him as you respect me." Father talking to his daughter. ~Douglas Wilson in "Her Hand in Marriage"

Hey Mel! I recognize most of those quotes actually. Pretty cool. I like not thinking of a guy unless you respect him as you respect your father. If you can't, then something's wrong! With him or with you.
Okay, ttyl sister.
