Becoming the one vs. finding the one. In my marriage prep class, Dr. Caroll urges us to instead of focusing now on finding “the one” we should focus on becoming “the one”. One of the ways I think we can achieve this in dating is by keeping “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” in our minds. In reading the Proclamation we learn that “By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families.” Young men, show that you are capable of doing this as you date a girl. Show her that you will preside over her well as you date. Be an example to her in living righteously and letting her know that you have a testimony. Fulfill your priesthood duties worthily and respectfully. Never take the power God has given you to use lightly. Show your girl that you are able to provide for her by being responsible and keeping a job. Show it by putting money away into savings. YOU

Across my plate, I see greasy strings of cheese Restricting my meal Like the web of a spider. Throughout the noodles, under the sauce The fork penetrates. An oozing squish is heard. Under my chin Lying before me on the table The meatballs rolled with care Glisten with oils. I edge my chair closer, as the waiters rush by. Moist sauce sparkles, catching sunlight on its surface. I’ve lost my appetite. (Written by Sian-Amy and I in our creative writing class)
