Most women still want to be princesses, and most men still seek to win a woman’s heart. Hefner and Sanger diminished the person to the mere sum of parts, yet we know that men and women are remarkable and multifarious, fantastic and so much more. There is still magic in the differences of the sexes—and what a joy it is to encounter them!

While marriage may seem like a distant goal, the behavior and relationship habits formed in college lay a foundation for future patterns. Yet, many students may find themselves caught in the throes of the hook-up culture, or may have participated in it previously.
