Chapter 4

Hey Girls

Sorry about last week, you will understand when you get maried how crazy life can get.

1. What can we do to ensure that we put our hope and confidence in a relationship with Christ instead of the false security of a relationship here on earth? (pg 60)
2. What is the "ugly" side of the temporary dating cycle? (pg 61)
3. What is the consequence of our future marriage if we lower our standards physically in casual relationships now? (pg 61)
4. Reflect and respond on this statement: "Leslie, don't try to build me into your life anymore. Instead build your life around me." (pg 65)
5. Why wouldn't a book titled "10 steps for achieving a perfect love story" help us in our endeavor to find true love? (pg 69)
6. What was one thing that caught your attention in Chapter 3?

Let's hear your responses. Remember to sign your name so we know who is writing us.

Chp. 2 - A Sweeter Song

Oops! Sorry, I am late!!!!


Loved this chapter with the comparisons from the Odyssey! Must be the English teacher in me.

1. Has it occurred to you that you have a desire for a "better kind of love?"

2. How would you define the "the beautiful side of love?" (PG. 26)

3. Do any "SHALT NOTS" interfer with you interpretation of what love is, or could be? (pg. 28)

4. How can we lower the volume of "the song of temptation" in our lives? (pg. 32)

5. What does a "sweeter song" consist of in our lives, especially our love lives? (pg. 34)

Favorite quote from this chaper "And when you hear this greater song , you, too will realize that it is ten thousand times more magnificent than your most grandiose imagination."

I love this because no matter how many times someone told me this while I was on my journey seeking romance did I take heart or believe them. Now, I truly know the meaning of this. So girls, trust that the right relationship that God has in store will beat all the expectations that you ever had.

Hey, when you post will you sign with your name!

Questions for week 1

Intro.

1. "I am the author of true love; I am the creator of romance." Do we truly believe that God has something better for our love story? (pg 11)

2. "You have searched for true love in your own way. But my ways are not your ways." Can you think of a scripture that is similar to this statement? (pg 11)

3. What are your initial thoughts to the question, Will you let God write your love story?

Chapter 1

1. What was the purpose behind the conversation between the babes and the big egos?

2. Debate the pros and cons of both Kevin's and Eric's philosophy on dating. (Kevin--God doesn't want us nagging him about our love life. Eric--I'm waiting on God to show me the right girl.)

3. Give your random thoughts and responses.
