I totally understand the confusion that many are having regarding the whole "boyfriend/girlfriend" thing. I highly recommend the DVDs entitled "The Courtship/Betrothal Series" by Dr. S.M. Davis. Our family has watched it several times; it is very well done from a Biblical perspective. It will clear up many misunderstandings. Many people do NOT understand the whole Biblical process and I am not trying to be disrespectful, but the Bates Family is really confusing many on this topic. BTW, betrothal does NOT mean prearranged marriages. Titles included in this series are the following: Seeds of Disintegration Planted by the Boyfriend/Girlfriend Philosophy, Commitment to Purity, 7 Bible Truths Violated by Christian Dating, God’s Plan for Finding a Mate, Essential Principles for a Successful Courtship/Betrothal, Ruth & Boaz a Biblical Love Story, Avoiding Defrauding in Relationships, Victory over the Dating Spirit, Questions & Answers about Betrothal, Timeless Bible Teaching about the Bride Price, and How to Avoid Confusion Concerning Betrothal.
ReplyDeletePoor Erin, she really was so sick around Valentine's Day. She still managed to look so beautiful for this video, but you can hear it in her voice that she was not feeling well. Carlin is so cute with Evan...her excitement is adorable.
