Kissing Rules

My daughters have agreed with us on a set of criteria for them and a boyfriend before they can kiss each other. Here are our seven rules:

  1. The boyfriend needs to meet Lisa and me.
  2. My daughter needs to meet the boyfriend’s parents.
  3. The boyfriend needs to believe in God.
  4. The boyfriend needs to be honest.
  5. The boyfriend needs to be kind.
  6. The boyfriend needs to try hard at school work.
  7. If the boyfriend has a driver’s license, he needs to be a safe driver.

It will be interesting to see if they remember and hold onto those criteria. Good thing to have some focus, rather than just counting on the hormones.

Sorry, no sage advice here, I have sons not daughters. However, if I had daughters, I might consider adding "blood test" to that list ... (-;

David,
My wife and I did not kiss until we were married.

Would you like to try to have a shot at explaining why that isn't a reasonable rule, and even more, why it's not better?

I know it sounds crazy to most people. My buddy Mark and his wife Maria did the same thing two years after we did. I'll be posting the details on my site very soon, so you can wait until then to see my self-analysis, if you like!

We have 3 boys and only one daughter, so she is my husband's princess. He says standing at the front door with a gun works well too. She's only 2, so maybe he'll lighten up, but I don't know about her 3 older brothers.
