"He's mine, don't you talk to him!" "Don't be flirting with my girl!" During courtship, people often claim others as part of their territory, and conflicts arise when someone violates an unspoken rule: Don't try to "steal" someone else's man/woman. Is there such a rule before marriage? There are situations when two people are attracted to the same person. How do you avoid conflict in your courtship when another person makes their interest in the person you are involved with known? Is that inappropriate? Can you "steal" someone's man or woman during courtship by purposely attracting them away? Today we'll look at two friends who became bitter enemies after both of them decided they wanted to marry the same man. Then we'll look at two men who were vying for the same woman. Is it unethical for one person to be involved with two people at the same time, in an effort to "choose"? Or is this just someone trying to be a "player" whose ethics make them untrustworthy in a relationship? What are the rules regarding a person being considered territory that is "off limits" during courtship?
