Hadn't really thought much about emtional/spiritual boundaries... these are interesting thoughts:

"You should go on intentional dates with a man to determine if you enjoy spending time with him, have feelings for him (you know, the butterflies), and to see if he is a man pursuing his relationship with Jesus each day. The rest of his heart is meant to be explored in marriage.
This kind of intimate relationship is created for forever relationships – your sisters in Christ, your family, and your husband."
“The wise young woman who takes things slowly, carefully guarding her heart in premarital relationships, will walk down the aisle toward her groom carrying a treasure far greater than riches – a whole heart that is ready to bond with his for a lifetime”
Want to be able to come back to this... I'm kinda tired of searching through every single (of the hundreds, I'm sure) favorites tabs to find something, which is why I'm putting it here... =)

"If you commit time to him daily, you have started “doing life” with him. And that’s something created for…(drumroll)…marriage! Your time with your boyfriend should be spent going on intentional dates.
A great question to ask yourself is if he has taken the roles of your closest sisters in Christ. He should not know the inner workings of your heart... The excuse we tell ourselves is if we don’t spend a lot of alone time with him and we don’t know everything about him, we won’t know if we want to marry him. With this line of thinking, we are making marriage about us, when it’s really about God."
