The 411 on the 143

This blog is inspired by the musings of two sophomore youth min majors. Let's give a warm welcome to Nicolle Layman... for her privacy let's call her Suzy :-D *

The 143...the "L-bomb"...or those three little words all equal the same thing...I Love You. Although love is a good and beautiful thing, all things happen in strides, and in their due time. So this is the words of two people as they try to make sense of this..."interesting" phenomenon.
 

Rule 1. DO NOTTTTTTT RUSH INTO THINGS!!!!!!
             ...or else you will get dumped
            .... or worse....married
Rule 2. No dating until AFTER Thanksgiving
              As stated in a previous blog, this gives you enough to get to know somebody before diving (head-first) into the shallow end of the pool of life.
Rule 3. Do not assume you are dating unless it is facebook offical
             Let's face it, nothing is true unless it is published of facebook first. Who wants to "keep things private" anyway?
Rule 3.5....aka the 3.5 month rule
             PLEASE in the name of ALL that is good and holy...wait at least....AT LEAST! 3.5 months before dropping the 143.  Seriously, how authentic is your love if it popped up over night? we are talking about LOVE...not daises. How much could you possibly know about this person before said time restriction?
Rule 4. Do NOT start planning the wedding prematurely
             We repeat....DO NOT start these hypothetical wedding dreams until you get a ring...and by ring, we mean ENGAGEMENT ring. Promise rings need not apply. Also, if you're planning to get married on July 15...don't.
Rule 5. If you're not sure you love the person....don't. say. anything.
              If you have any hesitation in any way, shape or form...shut up. Because let's face it...once you say it, there is noooooo going back.

So this is our point of view on the 143, and as always....welcome to Christian school
