The Courtship

Since writing this piece I need to update it by telling you that I met, and started dating a man called Niall MacCárthaigh who attends the same Church that I do. We applied most of the principles from the book we had both read adn it worked out very well for us. Because we had both been in physical relationships before we were saved be were weary of putting ourselves into any intimate situatios where we might sucumb to temptation so we were careful. We got engaged in June (10 months after my conversion... God is so good) and kissed for the first time on our wedding day on November the third 2002! Now I know this whole event seems hard to believe, but in truth, without the help of the Lord, it would have been impossible for Niall and me to want to go down the lane that we did, let alone have the willpower to succeed! I am delighted to report that there have been no doubts or horrible regrets since our marriage, and can only say that it was definitely the right thing for us to do.
