Dating and Marriage

In recent years, the definition of relationship and marriage has caused a lot of controversy. The intention of this course is not to pass judgment on an individuals choices in relationships. It is only intended as a springboard for discussion. It is important when reviewing the course material to understand that no effort is made to discuss right or wrong. It is not our intention to condone or condemn choices people may have. We wish to inform.

Before you begin this course, we ask that you follow the following rules:

  • We are not here to say if it is right or wrong. We are trying to understand.
  • Take time to discuss and talk about various beliefs. It is important to understand other’s beliefs, even if you don’t share their belief.
  • It perfectly OK and appropriate to have opinions and beliefs for what is right and wrong. You are entitled to it. But when participating in a group discussion, we never criticize anyone. We only seek to understand.
  • Don’t condemn others because they believe differently than you.
  • Don’t try to force anyone to believe what you do. You can’t force belief. You can only persuade.
