Perhaps for the physical intimacy thing, just let them know it's not bad, in and of itself. It's perfectly good, in marriage. But, the point is that it's intimate, too imtimate for people who might break up. If they question "How far is too far?"... too far is when areas of your body that are always covered by clothing in public are touched. Also, stress that love in marriage is different from we've been dating for 2 months love. :)
And try to keep it lighthearted. If it's too heavy, people might not get much out of it.
well, you could talk about conditional and unconditional love for 2 and 3 and you could talk about the differences between being "in love" (chemicals in your head which will wear off in less than two years- that's what i meant by the love comment at your house over the break) and loving someone. You can talk about taking it slow as to see if you love the other person and are not just "in love"
1. You are an awesome Christian and always good for wise advice. Thanks for all that you have given me. 2. Ummm... I don't know. I can't think of one, unless you count the ones you made. 3. Sonic's!! Heh. 4. Awesome!
1. You have had some troubles and we annoy each other but I have hope for you. 2. Probably anything by ICP (which I never listen to) since you and Kev introduced it to me. 3. Ummm... no clue. 4. Depressed.
The last one is the most important, yes, but in a way it's the least important. God calls us put Him first, then everyone else, then ourselves. So, I wouldn't say that loving yourself is the foundation of all the other kinds of love, I'd say the individual that accepting God's love for themselves is the foundation of them truly loving someone else.
So, the most important thing is the individual accepting God's love and grace and then sharing that love with others whether they be family, friends, or signifigant others. On that train of thought, I'd say true love is seeing someone as God sees them and being ever mindful of "What does God want for their life?" and keeping far above anything that the person might want in the relationship with that person.
I think that you have to love yourself before you can love others. You have to accept God's creation and how you are part of it. I don't mean you should be prideful- you should be humble, but you should also like who you are and what God has made you to be. All that is part of loving God anyway.
It's a pyramid. Loving God helps you love yourself which helps you love others. Yay! Loving yourself is important, and enables you to reach other people, but your love for God and love for the people close to you should inspire you to love yourself. So maybe it's more like a circle....
1. You are one of my bestest friends in the world and I have learned many things from you. 2. My driving or happy times CD's- or anything Disney. 3. Stir-fry, and italian, and crawfish, and Diet Cherry Vanilla Coke, and... 4. Supercalifragilisticexpealidocous. (I think that is spelled right...)

And I haven't really figured out enough about the subject myself to advise you on it. Sorry.

I hope that helps a little.
Take care and God bless.
