| 1. How old are you? |
 |
| 16 |
| 2. What do you like doing? Hobbies?
|
| Camping, swimming, teaching, reading, hanging
with friends, traveling. |
| 3. What are your plans for the future?
|
| Go to college for social work and work in
a large city, maybe Boston. |
| 4. Is marriage something you thought
about for your future? |
| Yes. |
| 5. Do you expect marriage
to last? What are the odds of marriage lasting today, and what do
you think is necessary for a couple to make love last? |
| Yes, but I don't think the odds
of marriage lasting are good because people tend to get married
too quickly; it should be a long and careful process. A couple needs
time, trust, truth, friendship, and most of all love and God to
make love last. |
| 6. How important is trust
in your relationships? What are things that you can do to either
build or destroy trust in current relationships and future ones?
|
| Without trust in your relationships
they will fail. Trust is destroyed by lying, cheating and selfishness,
but it is built on honesty, communcation, and forgiveness. |
| 7. What is the purpose
of dating? Describe a "typical" date. Does this description succeed
in meeting the purpose and goals you suggested for dating? |
| The purpose of dating is to find
someone who completes your life. On a typical date, we would go
the movies and then hang out at one of our houses. As long as the
date is fun and we learn about each other I think the date is a
success. If you are on a single date you will get to know your date
better, but group dating is better if you do not know the person.
|
| 8. What is the difference
between love and lust? |
| Lust is when you like someone
but not for their mind and love is when you love every aspect of
them. |
| 9. How would you go about
talking to your date about boundaries? When and where? How? |
| When we are alone and somewhere
we are both comfortable. We would talk it out and make a compromise.
|
| 10. How would you handle
a relationship in which your boundaries were not being respected?
What does this lack of respect tell you about the person? And about
your relationship? |
| I would tell the person what
I think is disrespectful and that I will not stand for it. If it
does not change, then I will leave the relationship. It tells me
that they are not right for me and they are not a healthy person
to be involved with. It also tells me that our relationship is not
healthy and we do not respect each other. |
| 11. What do you hope for
in a husband/wife (your definition of Mr. or Mrs. Right)? What do
you think they hope for in a wife or husband? |
| I want a husband who is kind,
caring, open-minded, good with children, smart, and God-centered.
I think they would like the same characteristics. |
| 12. What is Renewed Virginity?
|
| Renewed virginity is when one
loses their virginity and then asks God to restore it. |
| 13. Have you made any decisions
since coming to Care Net? |
| To keep myself more God-centered
and to make decisions that are better for me and the people around
me. |
| 14. Is Renewed Virginity
hard to keep? |
| Yes, it is very hard, because
you have to accept that God has forgiven your sin and has given
you a second chance. |
| 15. How do you feel about
this pledge? |
| I feel that this pledge is very
hard to keep but it is also very respectable and honorable. |
