< December: Living with Authority
JANUARY: dating and high school
Main Points of Class
Dating is aimed at marriage and raising a family.
Until you are psychologically, emotionally, and economically ready for lifelong commitment in marriage, it is premature and unwise to get “serious” about dating one person exclusively.
In relationships with women, you should always treat them with respect, as you would treat your own mother or sister. You should ask yourself, “Will I be a predator or a protector?”
In-class activity: Refining Communication
Love and service require communication. To give the best of ourselves, we need to try to communicate in a thoughtful way.
Not all communication is the same. Each means of communication has advantages and disadvantages.
To communicate well, put yourself in the shoes of the person you with whom you need to communicate and ask yourself, “How can I help them and love them most effectively?”.
Sending someone a letter can be a way of showing thoughtfulness and care that is difficult to do with other forms of communication, especially digital ones.
