Footnote

a The article “Young People Ask . . . How Can I Tell Him How I Feel?” (October 22, 2004) explained that in some lands there may be cultural objections to a woman’s approaching a man about a romantic relationship. While the Bible does not condemn this practice, it does encourage Christians to avoid stumbling others. Thus, those desirous of God’s blessing do well to take the Bible’s counsel into account when deciding what to do.​—Matthew 18:6; Romans 14:13; 1 Corinthians 8:13.
