I totally understand and agree with that.  At my church, my pastor
takes a couple, that comes to him and wants to get married, through a 6
month or longer program or something.  Right now that doesn't concern me
because I'm only 19 and Marriage is not one of my top priorities on my TO
DO list.  I'm not even dating anyone and won't be dating anyone else until
after I've graduated from college.  I'm too young to be tied down to one
person.  As far as other people approving my choice of a mate, I was
talking about my family and friends.  I do not need their approval in
Corey's life.  The didn't ask for mine and I won't ask for theirs.
