Found this through a friend's facebook. It mentions our favorite book, "I Kissed Dating Goodbye". I'm not breaking the link because its Huffpo.

What I find really interesting is the comments. The people commenting seem to be much more liberal than the intended target of the article.

The first one really stuck out to me. Youth groups at previous churches of mine and ones I've visited have been practically meat markets - full of Olivias and Miss Raquels and their male counterparts eager to meet their future spouse. Group socials essentially become group dates. These churches are not fundie - sometimes even fairly liberal - but the unspoken expectation that the young people will be married by the time they're in their mid-twenties is powerful and can be very stifling.

Eh, the girl in the article still thinks submission is a good thing...

That was kind of odd. It was sandwiched in with all this sort of advice for helping men and women get along. It was a very odd addition. Like she had to walk it back at the end.
