I have shared before that I live in the Salt Lake City area --- lots and lots of Mormans, and a very strong culture. Well, one of my friends that is Morman told me when her sister (one of 9 girls) was in high school, she wanted to 'go out' with this guy, and her parents were sort of uncomfortable for whatever reason, but they were so smart -- they said, sure, you can see him as much as you want -- in the front yard. And so they hung out in the front yard for a while, the girl figured out he really wasn't for her, and they all moved happily on. The kids were protected, and the parental relationship was in tact. Smart!!!! Maybe the LC elders could learn from the Mormans!!
