I've only had one other relationship.  When I was 12 my parents decided I was going to marry well. They picked the girl and talked to her father who agreed. Why not have an arranged marriage to keep the kids on the right path? It wasn't a real relationship. We couldn't talk, couldn't touch, could hardly even look at eachother. Then I sinned, my sins found me out and the relationship was broken off. I was relieved. My dad still is upset about that falling through. They were about to find my sister a mate but decided I had ruined the whole betrothal idea. So courtship happened. I hope my sisters avoid it. There is no fun in a loveless marriage.
