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! Indeed, our world contains the possibility of being radically altered by this ‘other,’ who, through the eyes of love, suddenly becomes much larger than we saw before.

A regular observance of the weekly dating column in “The Guide” would indicate that students and young adults choose to cohabit as a safety net due to an anxiety over dating and marriage that seems almost impossible to rectify. Yet, if the previous assertions about the risky effects of cohabitation are legitimate, much is at stake. As young adults, our futures hang in the balance and are often determined by the choices we make with our relationships. It is worth thoughtfully considering what the implications of cohabiting may be for us if we hope to secure a solid and stable future well-being.

Such raunchy demonstrations have come to be almost expected by the student body, causing many to be desensitized and to write off such events as dumb jokes that don’t actually represent male opinion, but that [...]

the summum bonum of the Love and Fidelity Network: support. It is difficult to over-emphasize the importance of a vital, flourishing community where one can openly express their deepest convictions, especially about matters of love, marriage, and sexual integrity –even personal struggles on the path to virtue. The mere presence of friends similarly convinced of the value of self-respect, the goodness of families and children, and the beauty of a 50th anniversary is sufficient to provide the bedrock on which real change can occur. Perhaps not directly transformative, but as an indirect though necessary consequence of the inner-strength we’ve gained.
