DTR week

In continuing with the topic of wuv <3 and vawentines day, my college is hosting a campus wide "DTR week" in which they promise to teach us everything we need to know about relationships. Through extra chapels, luncheons, movie nights, and evening seminars, they will echo the message that "Love Matters" and define the important principles of healthy relationships.
...really Biola?

Half of me thinks this is ridiculous. Being a private Christian University already adds unneeded pressures to find your husband the first week of school and get married by senior year (shout out to my brother and his wife)... so do we really need a whole week dedicated to such a focus? We are already commonly known as the "Bridal Institute of Los Angeles", and jokes about "ring by spring" were never funny.

However. The other half of me, (the loud, romantic, marriage-counselor that is dying to come out one of these days) loves it. I loved yesterday's speaker on the "climate" of your relationship in which he defined how your interactions with people exist within a certain climate based on communication, trust, commitment etc. I'm also unashamedly excited for upcoming seminars entitled, "Dating 101", "Love Hurts", and "SEX". (baha).And to give the school a tinsy bit of credit, the speakers are emphasizing all kinds of relationships, not just dating-married people ones. So that's exciting.

The finale of the week will result with the event, "Boy Meets Girl"... as they bring in 20 TONS of REAL SNOW so that people can mingle and go sledding. Pushing the week to its limit of insanity, I'm sure this night will also be the cherry of bringing many couples together.
Awww. Maybe I'll counsel them one day.
