Understanding what holds relationships together and what breaks them apart is the purpose of this POSITIVELY WAITING message. The truth is, many people (not just youth) have no idea what healthy relationships look like.
Whether it’s single adults or high school students, our culture promotes temporary commitments through serial monogamy. This often leaves both partners emotionally bruised. The heartbreak of “trial and error dating” can be avoided by following sound, scientifically studied principles. Basics like:
Principle #3: Develop "social superglue" by forming a "dating advisory committee"
Principle #7: Find out if they’re savers or spenders.
Principle #9: Pay attention to what they do when they’re mad or disappointed.
We walk our audience through all 10 essential steps to healthy relationships with humor, real world illustrations and then finish with two challenges: not to repeat the mistakes of previous generations, and to help their friends avoid marrying a “weenie!”
Of course, because it is a POSITIVELY WAITING! message, we emphasize and promote the benefits of sexual self-control (abstinence outside of marraige/faithfulness within marriage), as the ONLY way to eliminate all the dangers of non-marital sexual activity.
