Rebekah Gole had an excellent question on her blog... She asked married men to give advice about marriage. Well, we have a group of guys who fall into both categories of married and unmarried.

Is there questions you want to ask (singles) or advice you want to give (married fellas) regarding relationships? Let's not exclude it to marriage: are there things you would avoid while dating? What helped you to find your wife? What was it like for the married guys to sort through the dating game and what is it like now?

Let's dig into this!

  • How much time is a healthy amount to spend with eachother while dating?

  • I fixed the time, thanks.

    I think that the dating time question has more to do with how you are spending your time than how much time you are spending.

    If you are spending time alone, in a dark room, watching a pointless movie, without family/people home... there could be a serious problem no matter how much time you are spending in that environment.

    If you are spending a great deal of time in community service and other such programs, it could build up the relationship; however, it must carry the quality time mark: that you are getting to know each other more deeply.

  • Yeah, I don't care how "holy roller" you think you are. A lot of secluded time alone with each other inevitably crosses a threhhold. It's a threshhold you thought you'd be fine with, but it may "accidentally" turn into a "point of no return".

    Sorry for all the quote-marks I'm using. The point is to set your boundary line early enough. For example, if your goal is to stay dry, is it better to keep the fence around the pool locked or to try to change your momentum and grab back on to the diving board once you've started to spring off of it? Don't ever go near the edge of the pool and chances are that you will not get wet.

  • there is such thing as too much time. my friend failed college classes, falling two years behind, because of spending too much time with a crush, waisting time and money, missing classes, etc.

    there's a distinct line between "quality time" and idolitry of a cute person. like with addictions, if you are unable to maintain a normal life, there is a problem.
