This booklet contains heart-to-heart advice to safeguard your deepest and most enduring happiness. It points out to you the many dangers you will meet with along your way of company-keeping and the various aids God gives you to preserve your youthful love pure and happy. If these danger-signals are faithfully observed, you will shy away from the treacherous quicksands of sin and the slimy serpent of lust which seeks to creep into your friendship to leave its sting of death. In placing this booklet into your hands I have no intention of robbing your young love of its innocent pleasures, but rather do I wish to ensure you good clean fun and pleasures which do not backfire. Therefore, direct your company-keeping according to the sound principles of the Church that it may square with Christ's law of honor and purity. Your love and courtship will then be fair, and you will be happy before and after marriage. -Fr. Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D.
