This week brings Valentine's day. So to celebrate, Tamara's church youth group decided to invite me along with Tamara's sisters' boyfriend Tim for a little Q&A on relationships. Here's the list:
- How did you meet?
- What attracted you to each other?
- What characteristics do you look for in a person of the opposite gender?
- What factors did you consider before starting to date?
- What are your views on dating?
- What role did your friends & family play in your friendship? Is it important to have their approval?
- What do you see as important factors in developing a healthy relationship?
- What advice would you give to a sibling about dating?
- How should Christian relationships differ from those who aren't believers?
- What boundaries are important in a dating relationship? What boundaries have you set?
- Describe a relationship you have observed after which you would like to model your relationships.
- What is one thing that your girlfriend / boyfriend doesn't know about you?
Number 5 is very generic. Quite a hard one to answer I think. As for number 11, I'm tempted just to say "Jesus, the groom, and the Church, the bride". I don't really have any relationship role models otherwise haha. Well those are the most amusing thoughts I have so far on those questions. I talked with Tamara a bit about them while we went for a walk this evening.
Goals
I have goals for this week, besides just sleeping normally. By the end of this week, I want to feel like I am on top of Calculus again. Usually I measure that by attempting to do every problem assigned to me thus far which I have neglected to solve. However, I'm going to have to come to terms with the fact that such an ambition is impossible for me to fulfil. I just have to get on top of the topics at hand, and if the concepts are derivative of previous concepts, then I will be forced to understand them anyways. Anyways, a word or two of prayer would be appreciated on that note.
