- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – A ZENIT DAILY DISPATCH WHERE HAS HEALTHY ROMANCE GONE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE? Pro-Family Activist Connie Marshner Surveys the U.S. Scene WASHINGTON, D.C., 31 JAN. 31 2002 (ZENIT). Courtship and healthy dating among young people seem to be on the endangered-species list in the United States. So holds Connie Marshner, a longtime pro-life and pro-family activist in the nation’s capital, who is author of "Decent Exposure: How to Teach Your Children About Sex" (Legacy Communications, 1994). Dating as the secular youth culture currently defines the term is little more than a euphemism for serial sex partnering. Every public high school student knows that to be "dating" somebody is to be sexually active Where do they grow these idiots? The teenagers I know think dating means dating. It doesn’t mean being sexually active at all. What is it with these pro-life morons that every statement has to be a lie? Rest of this sphincter’s bullshit snipped.

LOL- I know! After I read that it was just so appalling that I had to post and let everyone see it. That women should be institutionalized Dawn

So holds Connie Marshner, a longtime pro-life and pro-family activist in the nation’s capital, who is author of "Decent Exposure: How to Teach Your Children About Sex" (Legacy Communications, 1994). She is also chairman of the Cardinal Newman Society, which works to maintain the religious identity of Catholic colleges. In this interview with ZENIT, Marshner discussed the state of romantic dating and how young people can be helped in this field. Q: A few months ago there was a study by the Independent Women’s Forum on college-campus dating that basically said courtship is in decline. Is that a fair assessment of life on U.S. college campuses? You’ve done your own research in this field. Marshner: First, we must define our terms in order to avoid misunderstandings. Most parents think of "dating" to be something like it was in the 1940s and ’50s: what was sometimes called "playing the field." In other words, a girl might go out with one fellow one weekend, and with another fellow the next weekend. However, that is not how most people who are doing it define dating. What kids mean by "dating" now is what previous generations called "going steady." You go out with one person, but only with that person. Dating as the secular youth culture currently defines the term is little more than a euphemism for serial sex partnering.
