Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I would like to know how those of you who teach your children about courtship have impressed upon the teen the "how to's" in doing so?

We have a teen boy ready to go off into the world; and although we have stressed the importance of following God's will for getting his education first (and that God will let him know when marriage -- *if* that's His will for our son -- is in the plan), I know that interest in girls may be upon him -- he won't talk about it with us, though. Should we be worried about that fact?

He is our first to "go off into the world," and I'm naturally worried about his future friends after being in solely home school environments.    We have expressed that hanging out with guys and girls in a group setting is best and that it is wise to avoid any one-on-one time alone with a female (for other reasons as well).   Yet, besides praying fervently, I wonder if there is more that we should be telling him about courtship. (Courtship wasn't taught in either of our homes when we were growing up.)   Any thoughts?   THANKS!

I remember a great thread Ruth started regards courtship/dating there was some invaluable practical advice shared here.
