I know that we are told that dating is good preparation for marriage, but what does that really mean? How does it help you? Well that is what I am here to tell you about :)
The three Ps for dating:
Planned.
Paid for.
Paired off.
Not only is this a good indicator as to whether or not you are on a date, it is by these three Ps that we prepare for marriage.
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we believe that the men of households have the responsibility to preside, provide and protect. When you plan, you preside. When you pay for, you provide for your date. And when you are paired off it allows the men to protect you. Now it is easily seen how dating can truly prepare you for marriage. If the man you are dating cannot properly date you (according to the three Ps), you may reconsider how successful of a relationship it is. Just some food for thought :)
