Greetings,
I am thinking of trying to write a novel that would demonstrate
different examples of how young people find each other - in Christian ways.
My novel would be a "romance" novel for young believers. A
romance novel is basically a "girl finds her guy and lives
happily ever after" story. Of course this could go in a very
worldly direction but what I envision is a group of girls
who find their spouses in wholesome Christian ways.
My goal would be to of course entertain, but also to show young people
examples of wholesome Christian courtship as well as a wholesome church
atmosphere.
I envision the girls in the novel wrestling with questions like
young girls do, maybe briefly "missing it" and then succeeding.
Since I am an almost 60 year old guy I need a little help to understand
how courtship-aged girls think.
So I figure that the courtship examples of our people would give me
good ideas for my characters in the novel.
==================
So here are my questions:
What were the theological beliefs in the various churches regarding:
Dating
kissing
holding hands
teenagers at home versus young adults living on their own
two people parking alone - or dating alone
going on trips together – camping, to faraway churches
how to identify the spouse as the right one
faith versus acting on your faith to make the courtship begin/continue
positive confession versus embarrassing the other person
"the gift"of celibacy – any examples where someone contentedly had it?
more?
What are some testimonies, neat stories, about how people found each other?
What are some testimonies of ethical questions you had to deal with back in the day?
Kissing? Telling your friends? Maintaining submission to your parents? more?
I found this link on the board but it is short..

Ant ideas of lessons that it would be good for young female believers to know as
they come into courtship age??
