Maybe and maybe not. Not touching would be hard. At least they get to hold hands. Makes me wonder if the courtships for Mennonites are very short. Otherwise it would drive the couple crazy.

Yes, engagements are very short. According to Bible Doctrine and Practice, which is an explanation of the faith and practice of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, "Due to the heightened excitement and temptation that accompanies the waiting before a marriage, it is only wisdom to keep the engagement period to as brief a time as is practical." Personally, I think that's great advice!

I’m trying to decide if no contact would be better or worse. In the LDS faith, I’ve seen a lot of bad marriages (my first included) because kids are so eager that they don’t take the time to get to know if it’s really a good match. But maybe with no kissing, they might take the time to ask the hard questions? I don’t know. Lots to think about though Leave a Reply. |
