American Family

This week you read about intimacy, love, dating, and marriage. Think back over

your teen years. Who taught you about intimacy, relationships, and sexual

health? What was your dating life like? Did you want to get married one day? If

so, what did you imagine it would be like? If you are married now, is marriage

what you expected? Why or why not? What qualities are important in a mate? In

your experience, what makes a healthy relationship? Is intimacy the same as

sex? If you could go back, is there anything you'd do differently? As you think about those questions, write a letter to you as a teen, giving

relationship advice. Your letter should address at least 4 of the questions above

as well as any other topics you'd like to include. You may share your experiences

as well as material from our readings and any other scholarly sources you find

helpful. Write 250 words.
