          How Does a Person Decide Who to Marry?

          "No person really decides before they grow up
          who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before,
          and you get to find out later who you're stuck with."
          -Kirsten, Age 10

          "You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff.
          Like if you like sports, she should like it that
          you like sports, and she should keep the chips
          and dip coming."
          -Allan, age 10

          What is the Proper Age to Get Married?

          "Twenty-three is the best age because you know the
          person FOREVER by then."

          -Lori, Age 8

          What Do Most People Do On A Date?


          Dates are for having fun, and people should use them
          to get to know each other. Even boys have
          something to say if you listen long enough."
          -Lynnette, age 8

          "On the first date, they they just tell each other lies,
          and that usually gets them interested enough to
          go on a second date."
          -Martin, age 10

          What Would You Do If Your First Date
          Was Going Poorly?


          "I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call
          all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me
          in all the dead columns."
          Craig, age 9

          want to mess with that."
          -Curt, age 7

          "The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then
          you should marry them and have kids with them...It's
          the right thing to do."
          -Howard, age 8

          The Great Debate: Is It Better to Be
          Single or Married?


          "I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one
          one thing...I'm never going to have sex with my wife.
          I don't want to be all grossed out!"
          Theodore, age 8

          "It's better for girls to be single but not for boys.
          Boys need somebody to clean up after them."
          Anita, age 9

          "Single is better...for the simple reason that I wouldn't
          want to change diapers...Of course, if I do get married,
          I'd figure something out. I'd just phone my mother
          and have her come over for coffee and diaper-changing."
          Kirsten, age 10

          "Tell your wife she looks pretty even if
          she looks like a truck!"
          -Ricky, age7

          "If you want to last with your man, you
          should wear a lot of sexy clothes...Especially underwear
          that is red and maybe has a few diamonds on it."
          -Lori, age 8

          to try more than one to find one."

          A TRUE STORY THAT WILL TOUCH YOU


          Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My 5 year old son asked if
          he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good. God is great.
          Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream
          for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!"

          Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby I heard
          a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country.
          Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream!
          Why I never!"

          Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me,
          "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"

          As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific
          job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman
          approached the table. He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know
          that God thought that was a great prayer."

          "Really?" my son asked. "Cross my heart." Then in a
          theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had
          started the whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little
          ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."

          Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal.
          My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will
          remember the rest of my life.

          He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over
          and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her,
          "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul
          sometimes, and my soul is good already."
