1. One part of the video that stood out to me were the part where Cristillina talked about her past lifestyle and how she just stopped it and started practicing chastity and abstinence until marriage. Another part was when Jason talked about imagining your future wife getting pressured into have sex because that is very inspirational for me. The last thing that stood out was the part when Jason talked about the girl from Texas being sexually abused and being put in a latrine, and when the kids were stuck in the school and the dad came to get him, because these parts were sad and I’ll never forget them.

2. The most challenging part is devoting yourself to one girl and staying abstinent until marriage. This is hard because there are a lot of girls that I could just have some type of sexual relationship with, but not have any true love for. It makes me think about my life now, because there is a girl that I really like but there are also a lot of girls that I could hang out with at times and be with them, but I always have the girl that I truly like in the back of my head, so I don’t do anything with those girls that don’t mean anything to me. It’s hard being a guy and not thinking about all girls in a sexual way and not lusting for them.

3. The most inspiring part was when Jason was talking about knowing how your future wife might be with some guy pressuring her into having sex at that very moment that you are thinking about getting married and being with her for the first time. Thinking about that happening to me would be extremely inspirational to be abstinent until marriage, and hoping that my future wife wouldn’t let any guy pressure her into sex so that we can save ourselves together for marriage.

1) "Which part of the handout stands out to you the most and why?"2) "How could you use your 'Must Have' and 'Can't Stand' to help you know if you are infatuated or 'in love'?"

1. The part that stands out the most is in the middle where it says infatuation is being together forever and not risking losing them, and love is being patient, not panicking, and planning your future with confidence. This stands out the most because that is one of the key concepts of love, being patient and not panicking. Love takes time and has to develop itself. Infatuation just happens in a second because it is so sufericial and fake. Love is time-consuming and needs to grow over years.

2. Your must have and can't stand list can help you know if you are infatuated or in love because it will make you realize if your list is really what you want in a girl/guy, or if you are just looking for something to do. Your list shows what you truly want in a girl, and if you are infatuated, your list won't truly matter to you. If you follow your list and base your love life off of that, then you are probably in love and not infatuated.

1.) Dating today is going out to dinner and a movie, and really getting to know the other person. You are exclusively dating someone when one asks the other person to be their girl/boyfriend. Dating is either just called "dating" or "going out."

2.) A disadvantage to the Olden Days is that the woman would control who could call her, and the advantage is that it is a more organized way to find a partner. A disadvantage to the Classical Era is that marriage is not the main goal, and an advantage is that they were unsupervised.

3.)
1. Sexual attraction
2. Fun
3. Getting out of ourselves
4. Companionship
5. Joy of give-and-take
6. Thing to do
7. Ego boost
8. Marriage partner

I ranked them this way because to me, dating is about finding a person that you are sexual attracted to, but can also have fun with. Also, dating should be about finding out about other people and having someone there for you. Dating is also something to do so that you don't have to sit at home all the time by yourself. Dating isn't an ego boost or a way to find a marriage partner because those aren't important to me at this time in my life.

4.) The easiest guideline to follow is to have an equal relationship because it isn't hard to ask your partner what they would like to do or where they would like to go. The hardest guideline to follow is to see beyond gender stereotypes because I am a very sarcastic and comical person, and it is hard not to make my partner realize that I am just joking around.

1. Good listening skills are important because it is critical to success and is essential to caring and loving.

2. You know you are doing a good job of listening when the other person keeps talking and tells you about what is important for him or her. You are listening well if you have good body and spoken language.

3. The nine guidelines are quiet your own speech and be attentive, communicate an open attitude with your body language, stay in eye contact, avoid assuming anything about what the other person will say, give signals that you are listening, help by summarizing occasionally, ask clarifying questions, check your perceptions of the speaker's body language, and let the person know if you cannot listen at the time.

4. The easiest guideline for me to follow is to act clarifying questions because I'm not shy. If I don't understand what they are saying, I will ask them. I know that they won't feel discouraged if I have to ask them what they were talking about.

5. The hardest for me to follow is to stay in eye contact because at times it feels weird to just keep looking at someone. It's hard to keep eye contact with someone, especially when they are talking to you and they aren't keeping your eye contact.

1. Body language is the way we communicate with others non-verbally. This can be scene through bodily gestures, facial expressions, posture, tone and pitch of voice, rate of speech, clothing, and the use of physical space. Body language is more readily believed because body language is natural and responsive. We usually don't plan what we are going to do with our bodies like we do when we plan on lying, so it is thought the body is easier to be believed than verbal communication. Nonverbal behavior is less conscious, less subject to control. It is the "real" message.

2. Humans feel the need to touch and be affectionate, but as we grow older we might feel scared to touch our family members and feel that affection. Touching is needed when affection is desired and wanted, and the other person is aware of it. We need touching when we want to care for ourselves and other people. Touching is loving and caring. The guideline is touch to give, not to get. This means touch to let other people know you are there for them, not so that they give something to you in return for being there for them.

3. After observing my classmate on Tuesday, I could tell when he was interested and bored. When he was interested, he sat up and was paying attention to the teacher, while asking questions when he didn't understand. When he was bored, he was slouching with his hand on his head. On Wednesday when he was interested, he focused on the teacher or the speaker and did a lot of nodding. When he wasn't listening, he put his headphones in and was paying attention to his computer. Thursday was much of the same stuff. He did a lot of the same motions, except when he gave a presentation he was very fidgety and was looking all around the room, which showed he was nervous.

1. Carl Jung says to become whole, a person must bring the idea that all males have a feminine dimension, and all females have a male dimension, to awareness and allow it to be integrated into his or her personality.

2. Jesus transcended sexual stereotypes by crying when life demanded sorrow, and being forceful when life demanded courage. He expressed his sexuality by directing its energy and power into his ministry. He was free of these sexual stereotypes because he didn't care if people talked about him when he wept because he was in pain. He knew that it was ok to cry and let out his anger.

3. In some places, that is true. In others, it isn't. Many dads, especially those who were in the Army, try to make their sons the manliest a man could be. They make them play rough sports and always yell at them so that they don't grow up to be a wimp. In other households, the parents take care of their son and just try to make them the best human he could be, not necessarily the manliest.

4. She says that men say that women can't do anything for themselves and always need help doing things. She also says that they say that women don't have the same rights as men, or any rights, and that Christianity came from a man and a woman.

5. The second stanza describes me the most. It does because it shows a shared life of parenthood, and I believe that a family should all be equal and have an equal say. A wife and husband should have the liberty to say what they want, but still listen to what their spouse says and wants to do. Freedom is important, but equality is more important.
