Dating & Romance

Couples practicing different religions

Differing religions can complicate the dating world

Different religious beliefs can help or hinder relationships

A Google search for “dating and religion” returns a little more than 64 million results. So it’s clear, this is a topic that is greatly prevalent.

STD 3-15

Telling a new partner about having an STD

A couple is going on their third date. They never thought they’d find each other so amazing. After the movies, one of them decides to take it a step further. He decides to confess his feelings and gives hints about wanting to take the relationship to a physical level. The other person is surprised and wants to reciprocate the feelings, but is hesitant. If she gets intimate with him she may have to disclose that she has syphilis.
