Hey Friends —
Want to hear some shocking statistics?
According to Match.com’s annual singles survey, 55 percent of singles have sex on the first date.
That’s 66 percent of men and 44 percent of women. And 55 percent of men believe couples should be sexually active at least by the third date.
Wow.
Whereas I promised myself I wouldn’t get involved in the 50 Shades of Grey debate, I’m guessing you know how I feel about the situation. (Remember this rant?)
As a woman, a wife, a mom, a passionate follower of Jesus — I’m super concerned about the messages we are sending our women, especially in the media.
Thus the reason I am THRILLED to help share the message of Old Fashioned, a film that brings to the big screen a story of courtship and healthy relationships, and offers a view of what dating looks like when the first goal is respect for your partner.
Can I get a Woo Hoo?!
“Old Fashioned” is the faith-based tale of a former frat boy and a free-spirited woman who attempt an old fashioned courtship.
The film is the exact opposite of the popular “Fifty Shades of Grey,” which will be released this weekend.
The filmmakers wisely waited to release their film at the same time as “Fifty Shades” to present an alternative message about courting, relationships, and love.

Here’s what marriage expert Pam Farrel has to say about Old Fashioned —
“OLD FASHIONED is a fresh look at the real meaning of desire, romance, and love. We hope it becomes a new fashion to be a bit more old fashioned in the way we all handle relationships! Make an OLD FASHIONED movie date and share popcorn and a little true love.”
That’s right: relationship experts recommend OLD FASHIONED. Why not go see it with your honey this weekend? Now that’s Valentine’s Day made simple!
