It may work but...

To the extent that we were able to follow the scriptures in preserving purity until we were promised (betrothed) and then married, to that extent I would encourage your readers and others to rejoice with us, and be encouraged that there are very practical and doable biblical alternatives to the typical American romance and proposal.

The Bible isn't as impossible to follow as our culture would have us believe.

I don't know whether to say that I agree fantastically, or disagree incredibly with this... so I had better explain myself:

1)I agree completely that Scripture works. God promises us that 'all things work together for good. And this obviously includes his plan for marriage.

2) However some may read this as saying that we should only obey Scripture if 'it works'. I am sure this is not what is meant, but it could possibly be heard. We obey Scripture because it is Gods Word, not because it 'works for us'.
