congrats, but I never met, or personally knew of, anyone with that kind of dating experience. Maybe Amish???

No, not Amish. We are not alone. There are a host of families around the country who still practice this kind of hands-off, supervised courtship. Mind you, we are home schoolers, and we were teaching these principles to our children from age 4.

These kinds of things can not be easily taught to young people if you wait till they’re already in high school, especially if they’ve already been dating around and had their lusts stirred up.

We’ve been called “abnormal.” But we believe that allowing a 16 year-old boy and 16 year-old girl run around in a car together is what is abnormal.
