Ep 14 Courting vs Dating with guests John & Candy Howells

Today's dating scene is more a horror movie to many parents instead of a romance one. When we heard that friends of ours were using the principle of courting with their teenage daughter we had to hear more! John and Candy Howells were so wonderful to open up about their own experience of courting for each their own second marriage and then how they are using it with their daughter Madison. It sounds something way too old to be even possible for today's world... but we had to admit by the end of this discussion we were intrigued and can see some benefits to creating this safe space for young adults to focus on a future marriage bond than letting hormones lead them to "practicing" for someday. A set of boundaries can give pause to really seek God's approval in the union instead of getting so caught up in emotions. We hope you will find this helpful as we did, that you find something in their stories that can benefit your families lives. Thank you Howells' we really enjoyed this chat!
