One thing I was kind of hoping you'd get to was contact. Like, no sex, no kissing, that's obvious. But like, where do you draw the line? Can you hold hands?
Ok, that aside, I thought the Abundance Mentality (a mature way of saying there's plenty of fish in the sea) was helpful, even though it honestly DOES NOT feel like it. I grew up believing all women are feminists, and I don't think I'm alone. Probably depends heavily on where you live.
The early over-communication thing was super helpful, and honestly, I don't think the Thrift Store Outfit Challenge would have ever crossed my mind. Priceless.
Great stuff! I think doing this in a community is important too. Get to know her family if possible. Let her get to know yours, if possible. Go to church together. Sit under other older Christian couples if possible.

Thanks for putting this out there, Michael!
