Her face was downcast and her eyes moist as she recounted the events of the previous week: “I’m not sure what happened, but he said we needed to take a break. He wants to pray about the relationship. Christian courtships are about as straightforward as the Cha Cha Slide: You take two steps forward, then one step back. Just like that, my friend was sent into a tailspin.
