As you are now the father of a pre teen daughter, how do you feel aboutt "courting " as opposed to "dating" (Do you know the "movement I am talking about? )
Your information is now old. I am the father of a teen. And, I don't suppose I have much to worry about right now. My daughter sends all the boys to me to get permission for every date.

As far as courting, I suppose that what I did was more courting than dating. I spent a great deal of time around my future in-laws and they knew quite a bit about me before it became official. Though I can't say for certain, I do believe that I would have been up the creek if I had not received permission from my fil to marry.

A am aware of this push for courting and, though I don't know what these "rules" are suppose to be, I have given my daughter a few gifts along the way to help her out and that is all that really matters. Somehow I don't think she will try to hide her dates unless she falls into some wild insane period like some teens.

Given that it is expected that any malignant growth my daughter will choose to call "boyfriend" will have to hang around with me, I can make certain that I give a healthy dose of good Protestant theology, including the expectation to visit and participate in my church on occation. I think we can sniff out any doctrinal incompatibility early.

She is now in fact history....very recent history...eh, that's the way it goes sometimes.


I think she definatly needs to hear the gospel though, hopefully I havent' invested too many feelings at this point to be able to just be her freind and talk about it if she wants to.

That was quick ...ummmm too quick

Now why would you need a "reform " girl if you are not sure what you will be next week or next month .

I still think it was a very quick decision

Yeah it was, as soon as she realized I woudln't compramise my morals and beliefs it started going downhill, not me mention after the first week she decided to tell me she has been "seeing" a guy for the past 3 months.....it gets better but I'm sure no one wants the details on here.
