in east Texas and I, too, \u2018came out of the womb\u2019 tap dancing for the doctor.\u00a0 As early as I can remember, I loved to sing, I loved to perform, and that was initially what drew us together; was our love for performing and our love, specifically for music, and the stage.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You met in Oklahoma City?\u00a0 You were a

performing another at night.\u00a0\u00a0 At the ripe old age of 19 I thought I was pretty big stuff, doing professional theater.\u00a0 They brought Matt in to be \u2018Tommy\u2019 \u2013 the lead role of Tommy \u2013 in the Rock Opera \u201cThe Who\u2019s Tommy?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI have to tell you I was pretty impressed.\u00a0 He knew all of his lines.\u00a0 He had studied the songs and could sing them to where it sounded just like the album.\u00a0 But, I am pretty sure he knew how great he was!\u00a0 He was smug!\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Matt:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think in retrospect, I was the picture of overcompensation. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Is that right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Matt:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh sure!\u00a0 I mean I came into the theater wearing a shirt that said, \u201cChicks hate me!,\u201d\u00a0 dark sunglasses, and I thought I am going to come in here and blow these chorus girls out of the water.\u00a0 They are going to dig me!\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 She was 19 and

Yes\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Or young men who know better, who are okay with the right answers, because there is such a longing in their heart for a relationship; such a longing in their hearts for intimacy.\u00a0 If we can just get the right answers, then we can have what we have always wanted.\u00a0 I mean we see this as we talk to engaged couples at the Weekend to Remember marriage conference.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou have talked to know that that desire can be so overwhelming in the life of a single person

everything!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I am telling you, as a father, one of the things I constantly warned both my sons and daughters about was that after you give yourself to someone, you don\u2019t think objectively.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Megan:<\/strong>\u00a0 That is true!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You have to protect and create boundaries in a relationship so that you can ultimately hear the voice of God.\u00a0 I used to say to my kids is when you get involved sexually it is like the orchestra warming up with the drums.\u00a0 Whatever follows next you never hear, because the drums completely mask the flute, the oboes, the violins, whatever\u2026\u00a0 But, you start with the lighter instruments, as you warm up the symphony.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat is what a relationship was meant to be.\u00a0 It was meant to start getting to know another person, finding out about their values, finding out about what is the center of their lives, who is the center of their live, is it themselves or is it Christ, and how those choices are demonstrated by what we choose and what we live, and what we serve.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You and I have both talked to a lot of couples over the years who have attended the Weekend to Remember Marriage Conference and there are engaged couples, and they are struggling at this very point, because their relationship has gotten clouded with what is going on physically.\u00a0 We talk to them about the need to blow the fog away by committing to purity in their relationship no matter what they have been doing up until that point.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMake a commitment to be pure until they arrive at the altar and say \u201cI do.\u201d\u00a0 It does help uncloud some of the cloudiness of the engagement period.\u00a0 For some of those couples it means that the relationship is over.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut that is okay, because we would rather see couples come to the Weekend to Remember as an engaged couples and decide not to marry, then to come back a few years later, having married, and now they are trying to deal with some of the relational struggles that should have dealt with on the front end.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mention all that because this week is the last opportunity <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> listeners have to register for an upcoming

just breaks my heart to even admit.\u00a0 But at that point, I was satisfied with him giving the lip service.\u00a0 I guess I was just praying that God would be merciful and at some point make that \u2018lip service\u2019 a true transformation of the heart.\u00a0 No!\u00a0 I did not think he had truly accepted Christ.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well Megan, you have to know, everyday there are thousands of young women who know better.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Megan:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Or young men who know better, who are okay with the right answers, because there is such a longing in their heart for a relationship; such a longing in their hearts for intimacy.\u00a0 If we can just get the right answers, then we can have what we have always wanted.\u00a0 I mean we see this as we talk to engaged couples at the Weekend to Remember marriage conference.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou have talked to know that that desire can be so overwhelming in the life of a single person \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It can become an idol.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 That you are willing to take a lukewarm, half-hearted, lip service to Christianity and say \u201cwell that\u2019s it \u2013 we are okay now \u2013 right?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes!\u00a0 And the real danger here is that Megan was involved physically, emotionally, with Matt and \u2026 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 That clouds everything!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I am telling you, as a father, one of the things I constantly warned both my sons and daughters about was that after you give yourself to someone, you don\u2019t think objectively.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Megan:<\/strong>\u00a0 That is true!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You have to protect and create boundaries in a relationship so that you can ultimately hear the voice of God.\u00a0 I used to say to my kids is when you get involved sexually it is like the orchestra warming up with the drums.\u00a0 Whatever follows next you never hear, because the drums completely mask the flute, the oboes, the violins, whatever\u2026\u00a0 But, you start with the lighter instruments, as you warm up the symphony.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat is what a relationship was meant to be.\u00a0 It was meant to start getting to know another person, finding out about their values, finding out about what is the center of their lives, who is the center of their live, is it themselves or is it Christ, and how those choices are demonstrated by what we choose and what we live, and what we serve.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You and I have both talked to a lot of couples over the years who have attended the Weekend to Remember Marriage Conference and there are engaged couples, and they are struggling at this very point, because their relationship has gotten clouded with what is going on physically.\u00a0 We talk to them about the need to blow the fog away by committing to purity in their relationship no matter what they have been doing up until that point.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMake a commitment to be pure until they arrive at the altar and say \u201cI do.\u201d\u00a0 It does help uncloud some of the cloudiness of the engagement period.\u00a0 For some of those couples it means that the relationship is over.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut that is okay, because we would rather see couples come to the Weekend to Remember as an engaged couples and decide not to marry, then to come back a few years later, having married, and now they are trying to deal with some of the relational struggles that should have dealt with on the front end.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mention all that because this week is the last opportunity <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> listeners have to register for an upcoming
