Thoughts That Touch My Heart

"In years gone by, a man would court a woman to be his wife. But in our day, a man courts a woman to be his girlfriend. How lame is that? Woman are left holding the short end of the stick, giving away their hearts to men who have not yet declared their intentions and in most cases don't even know what their intentions are. In our public teaching on this topic, we frequently tell women, "Don't give your heart away until you know what he plans to do with it." And we tell the men, "Stop being irresponsible. Don't try to win a woman's heart unless you plan on keeping it." So women, please listen up: a man has nothing permanent to offer you apart from a marriage proposal. Don't settle for second rate!"-Gerald Hiestand and Jay S. Thomas
