I completely respect them, but I don't get why kissing is a big deal...that's not sex.

-_- ;....uggghh. I don't know where to start so I'll just be mean. I've had one boyfriend and I'm nervous as all hell about it, we've never kissed but we're getting married. We've never dated anyone else and the only understanding of love we have is whatever this tingly feeling is and it feel alllll right. I'm pretty sure it's god so everything should work out. We're doing this because it's super imposed by our community of FUCKING RETARDS.

@ZAPdontlook True, but kisses are special too. Instead of just kissing this boy or girl a million times, breaking up, and doing it again with someone else you maintain the indea of the sacredness of kissing and making love to someone. Courting is becoming friends before girlfriend/boyfriend. So that one day, when you marry that person and when you both get old, you still both love eachother for their love, not for looks or a place in society. :) That's what I've been taught. God Bless!

Okay, folks, live your lives and best of luck to you. But, people, when any public figure starts preaching against birth control, please stand up and protect the rights of people to CHOOSE whether they want to have giant families where the dad is the king of everyone. Most people in modern society believe in family planning. (Not to mention dating being a normal thing rather than some sort of deviant behavior.)

mmhmm eat that pickle.

I like the concept of giving your whole heart to someone rather than bits and pieces. But I do feel like you learn a lot about yourself from dating and thinking about marriage scares me and I couldn't go into a relationship with that as the end goal.

Why do they have to have chaperones? Isn't that why you teach your kids right from wrong, so when you're not there it'll stick. If they feel they need to have chaperones then the parents didn't do their job.

The merry-go-round scene is so strange! His body touched hers by accident. They looked down as if they were thinking: "Uh oh, what did we do?". Then his head passed near hers... for a moment, I thought he was trying to kiss her.

The entire family acts so awkward towards even holding hands or hugging.

Giving these people a reality show only reinforces their notion that they live a superior lifestyle compared to the rest of the world. It's one thing to trust God; it's another to try to rationalize your trust with faulty logic and manufactured morality.

i can understand that they won't have sex before their wedding but no kissing ? kissing doesn't kill u!

[49redskies]
