This Sunday I am teaching a lesson to all the young women about marriage standards, and setting your standards while still dating etc. So all you fabulously smug married women, whether you still are a newlywed or have past your silver anniversary, I need you to think back to your singleton days; what advice would you give other young women regarding dating/courtship on the road to finding your spouse? The advice can be serious, spiritual and even funny as long as it's true. Accompany stories, particularly the humorous kind as I don't want to be a boring teacher, are welcome as well. As always thanks for your help.
(So as not to be prejudice, if your husbands wish to offer some insights as well by all means their advice is welcome too)
Addendum:
In response to a comment I recieved regarding the title of this post; it is from a movie, a very funny movie at that and one of my favorites. I am not sure I want to be friends with people that don't have a sense of humor, but since they didn't leave their name all I can say is maybe YOU(whoever you are) should brush up on your movie quotes and get a sense of humor before you tell people to use a dictionary!

CALLING ALL SMUG MARRIEDS

My dating advice would be to never put yourself in an uncomfortable situation. go on alot of double dates (double dating keeps you out of bad situations) and have fun. Don't let yourself get to serious before you are ready. You have forever to be with just one person, so have fun and meet lots of good people.
Decide beforehand what your standards are--not just on a date, but the kind of person you'll marry--so that you don't have to do the deciding in the heat of the moment.
Also, focus less on "who to date" and more on making yourself the kind of person you want to be, and the person that the kind of person you want to marry will want to marry too. That makes no sense.
I had to teach the "Dating Decisions" lesson (what kind of title is that, btw!?) a few weeks ago, and I used several quotes from a really great talk Pres. Eyring gave in the General YW Meeting in March. That is one of the best talks ever--especially when it comes to making decisions and gaining a testimony of who you are/why you're here, etc. Really really good.
Good luck--I'm sure you'll do great!
