Should You Compromise?

MARILYN WHITEMAN

When you start to date, you soon find that some of your partners have a different moral standard than yours.

It's good to screen your dates, choosing ones with a similar background or those you have met through friends. At some point, however, you can find yourself with a date who wants you to say Yes to something you believe you should say No to. Then what? Do you immediately say you never want to see him or her again? Should you try to reach a compromise? Or should you just let things drift until one of you radically raises or lowers his standards to meet the other's?

A girl I know found herself in just such a situation. She very much wanted an answer that her friend could accept too. She set out to discover how Christian Science could help.
