“It’s more than okay.” We laugh, the sound of our voices echoing off the canyon walls.

It’s the fall of my freshman year in college, and I’m attending the local state university. Since Dad insisted moving away for school was not God’s will for me, I’ve decided that some kind of college education is better than none at all. The only problem is that being at home means I’m still subject to Dad’s rules—like attending a single sisters’ retreat led by Grandma.

I asked Dad to let me skip it, but he refused, saying as long as I lived in his home, I’d go to these retreats, and anyway, she was my grandmother—where was my respect?

“Besides,” Dad said with a wink, “Matt has asked for permission to court you, and since you’re in college now, it’s high time you learned how to be a biblical, godly wife.”

I wanted to say Matt loved me for who I was and had even loved me while I was in the middle of my “rebellious” high school years, but I knew such justifications were futile. Courtship meant attending “biblical womanhood” retreats.
