Asking a single person of marriageable age to chaperone is cruel. Anyone younger (say, a 13 year old sibling) doesn’t really qualify, and WILL be scarred for life, just ask Sabrina B.

The best chaperones are those who understand what it’s like to be so in love that you’ve made the HUGE decision to get married. They can actually smile a little when they see the telltale signs of love:

• the incredible lightness, clarity, and easy humor
• the radiance of a woman who knows she is beautiful
• the comfort and confidence of finding the one who makes you feel special “just as you are”

I firmly believe that it is the responsibility of happily married people (especially those who have children) to help engaged couples maintain chaste courtship. Especially if you have a favor to return.

Making excuses is like waiting for something bad to happen, but making yourself available to chaperone is doing your part to prevent something bad from happening. Besides, if you need a refresher, love is contagious. Catch some!
