My youngest introduced me recently to a song that her sister introduced
her to: Maroon 5’s “One More
Night”. She was hesitant about the song
at first because, she said, the lyrics seemed to be “very inappropriate” (her
words . . . obviously introjected from a lifetime with me). But as she listened, she decided that the
lyrics actually had a pretty good message.
But baby there you again, there you again
making me love you
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you . . .
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you . . .
“I think,” she
said, “that this is about how now that they’ve had sex, they're having a
hard time leaving even though they realize this is a really lousy
relationship.” Looking at the full
lyrics, I think that’s a reasonable interpretation.

However, what is a
blessing and a bond-enhancer in a marriage can be disastrous in a dating
relationship. Have you ever met anyone
who is in a relationship where there are being treated like crap? And you’ve wondered, why in the WORLD do they
put up with this? Why can’t they see
this for what it really is? I bet you
that nine times out of ten, that couple is sleeping together. Sex clouds your vision. And you do NOT want your vision clouded
during the part of the relationship where you are figuring out if you can trust
this person with your heart.
I’m very glad my
daughter gets this. And very impressed
that she seemed to get it before I even brought it up. Not bad for a twelve-year-old.
