We have gotten to know a lot of fine young college and post-college folks over the past year. We are very privileged that they want to hang around with us old fogeys, especially with our rambunctious kids. Of the many conversations we had in the past, one topic that consistently comes up is relationships. I admit that I’ve been out of the dating scene for a long time and that this topic isn’t on the front burner any longer. However, for these young ‘uns, it is very important. Evers and I decided that for the next several weeks or maybe months, depending on how much free time we have, we will write about relationships. We pray and hope that young folks will find the series helpful as they pursue godly relationships with the opposite sex.

We are considering writing about the following topics:

• The courtship model
• Is it okay to be a spiritual accountability partner of the opposite sex?
• How to assess the fitness of a man/woman as your husband/wife
• Physical attraction and personal evaluation
• Relationship resources

If there are any other topics pertaining to relationships, please let us know (privately or via comments) and we’ll do our best to address them.
