I've always loved the idea of a more committed relationship no matter who or how old. Personally, I believe in no kissing, chaperone unless in a public space, holding hands after talking about it and careful hugs. But I do frontal hugs with everyone so that's not too much of question. And spending more everyday time with a potential spouse is so important! Not just dating. Thanks again. :)Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681262430878067008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723715985773422530.post-68161081967970268122015-02-25T15:56:04.617-08:002015-02-25T15:56:04.617-08:00Thank you for your comment Brigid!

With being at school away from our parents, I thankful for my sister for support and encouragement in things like this, not that we're starting any relationships or anything, but it is on the minds of a lot of people our age.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416639597672218720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723715985773422530.post-67532326366640220292015-02-25T12:40:41.655-08:002015-02-25T12:40:41.655-08:00Thank you for so clearly and thoroughly answering ...Thank you for so clearly and thoroughly answering all my questions, Rebecca! Your answers never disappoint! <br /><br />I agree that romantic relationships shouldn't just be for fun... and purity is very important indeed. But I don't think, that if I ever find my guy, I would set such rules. <br />You see, here where I live, and in my family and wider family, everyone just kisses (on the cheek) and hugs to say hello/goodbye; so if I were in a romantic relationship (I'm also sixteen, so that'll be for a while yet!) I *would* kiss and hug, seeing as I do those with any other person I know. But it's interesting to know that people don't *do* that where you live! Where I live EVERYONE kisses hello - like, it's done more than handshaking, weird as that may sound.<br /><br />And haha, it makes me laugh when Michelle Duggar totally freaks out about frontal-hugs. :-P<br /><br />Thanks again! Very interested and greatly written!<br /><br />~ Miss Molly GibsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723715985773422530.post-82328117002677059822015-02-25T08:11:12.095-08:002015-02-25T08:11:12.095-08:00Loved this post!!!

I whole heartedly agree with everything you said, especially what you said at the end about running as hard and fast towards God and if someone comes up next to you introduce yourself..... that has been one of my favorite phrases to live by and hold myself accountable to!!! Again, great post!!!<br />-Madison<br />www.1minniemuse.blogspot.comMadisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324285553861788504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723715985773422530.post-2998319451308647912015-02-25T07:27:03.289-08:002015-02-25T07:27:03.289-08:00Love, love, love this post Rebekah!

All of your points about the physical contact that you feel is appropriate, to the reason behind courting, I love and agree with! (: I'm not in a relationship at the moment (unless you count my horse, hehe!) and I'm very happily waiting. I think most people see courting as a boring, strict route and think to themselves, "who will be willing to be so strict with me? Everyone wants to DATE and have fun, not be so serious!" but I think that if a true man of God comes along, he will be willing and even want to pursue that kind of relationship not only to honor the Lord, but to honor his love as well. <br /><br />I've heard so many people tell me that no one will be willing to court me because my rules appear so much stricter than most girls and boy's rules our age. But I always say, if he's not willing, he's not worth it! (: Great post!!<br /><br />www.magicallyordinary.wordpress.comKalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011912207459834938noreply@blogger.com
