GUIDELINES FOR A GODLY PURE RELATIONSHIP

We will not caress each other. For us this excludes:

1.Rubbing each other’s back, neck, or arms;

2.Touching or stroking each other’s face;

3.Playing with each other’s hair.

4.Scratching each other’s arms or back.

We will not cuddle. For us this excludes:

1.Sitting entwined on a couch watching a movie;

2.Leaning or resting on the other person;

3.Lying down next to other;

4.Playfully wrestling with each other.

We will guard our conversation and meditation. For us this means:

1.Not talking about our future physical relationship;

2.Not thinking or dwelling on what would now be sinful;

3.Not reading things related to physical intimacy within marriage prematurely.

We will not spend undue amounts of time together at late hours.

A specific area of concern for us is time together late at night. We’re more vulnerable when we’re tired. Even if we haven’t compromised, please ask if we’re spending too much time together at late hours.

Appropriate physical expression during this season include:

1.Holding hands;

2.Man putting his arm around woman’s shoulder;

3.Bried side hugs.
