This week: Love Before Marriage
The conventions have not changed much in a hundred years. It's still a ring announcing to the world a girl has got her man: it's still a time of waiting, of saving, of preparation, and of stress. Being married presents problems enough. Being engaged to be married brings problems of its own. Is virginity old-fashioned? Do you save for a home or spend on your courtship? It's a testing time - and a trying time.
