So much advice to young people during purity culture told them that they would protect their hearts if they only “courted”–or dated once they were ready to be married. I don’t have time to write a big article this morning because I’m running really late for some interviews, but let me throw this out as food for thought. Most were in agreement that we really need to revisit the book Passion and Purity because what it’s showing to be a healthy relationship is anything but.Īs the discussions started happening everywhere, though, there was one theme that emerged that I’d like to comment on a little more. My article yesterday on how Elisabeth Elliot’s courtship with Jim sounds quite toxic and unfair to Elisabeth blew up on Facebook and social media. Just because you’re not going to date doesn’t mean you don’t get your heart broken.
