0:00.0	You are listening to Feeding the Mouth That Bites You with Ashley Parrish and Jessica Pfeiffer.
0:05.6	A weekly podcast guide on parenting teens and launching them into the world.
0:10.0	As always, we are joined by psychologist and author, Dr. Ken Wilgus.
0:14.5	Hey guys and welcome back.
0:16.8	Today's episode is going to be a really great one.
0:19.2	This might be an episode that you want to listen to with your teen. We're discussing the dating playbook for teenagers. This is going to be a good one. In fact, this is always a conversation in my house. Teenagers and dating, who's dating who, who wants to date who, who doesn't have a chance with who. You know, this is always the story in our house a lot of
0:40.1	girl talk you got some cute girls i know they are cute and it's not necessarily them it's they

1:42.5	important in your family. I think unintentionally, well-meaning Christian parents kind of get this wrong, unintentionally,
1:52.4	because we put marriage rules on dating rules for our teens.
1:56.9	And in order to be able to help them through this, coach them through this, whatever word you want to call that, parent them through this, dating scene scenario, dating years, we want to do it well and it looks different.
2:11.8	So I'm excited for you to share with us, Dr. Ken, what the dating playbook is for teenagers because it's not the same
2:19.2	as marriage. It is not. And that's the first one. Dating in high school and college, well,
