many young cou ples face this dilemma dale and jenny are another couple who have reflected on this time bind before marriage they spent great quantities of quality time together jenny recalls we were bestfriends and just preferred to be with each other id even push aside my college studies to make time to be with dale our relationship was more important to me than the differ ence between an a and a b however after they were mar ried jobs and outside activites be gan to take on more importance dale said our time together consisted of hurried meals be tween dashes to the grocery store and long
