Emily, you were such an encouragement to the family! Thanks for praying and for blessing them with your presence in the ICU. I'm so glad we have the community at Hope that reaches so far & wide into Richmond!!

you are not unconnected, because your comment alone tells me that as a mother, a former teenager, a girl, a writer--you get it. Love to you Kristen....

I also feel the burden to now write a top 10 list for girls...maybe your son can help! :)

I like your reasoning and although others might not agree, you seem like you've got a head on straight about it. Short-term and less-serious dating can help you know just what you need and want in a future husband. The balance can be tricky, of course, but you raise great points!

I agree this is difficult; I haven't posted my own reflections cause it's getting more complicated as I read responses! But I do agree that there should be a sense of how the man in question is growing...more toward Christ or away? Thanks for sharing Renee...can't wait to host you on the blog when your book releases!!

being teachable is a great trait. I wonder how you would notice it in a guy? Maybe his ability to apologize? Or to be willing to view things from another perspective..not always assuming he's right.

I like that thought...it takes the relationship out of just the fun-dating stage and into a more long-term view!

Donna, I definitely think this isn't what you are looking for in a teenage boy...rather, what would you want to tell yourself (or daughter) BEFORE she starts really dating. Dating does seem particularly tricky before you out of high school, but I guess it depends on what "dating" really means! I know I've had older, wiser folks tell me that they are so thankful their kids didn't date in high school....but I have friends who married their high school sweethearts. Love is tricky.

They need to hear that...we talked a bit tonight about these kinds of inventories as conversation-creators and how they are still in the process of discovery through their 20s. Great thoughts!
