Understanding the "Ring by Spring" Culture

The phrase "ring by spring" is used to describe students' desire to find a partner and become engaged before they graduate college.

Exploring the Impact

From where does this pressure come? Who is most impacted? What are the consequences of this culture?

Insights and Support

This book begins to explore this complicated dynamic that is unique to Christian colleges by describing the experiences of Christian college students and alumni. The author provides additional thoughts on how to support students overwhelmed by this culture, and how to foster positive relationships of all kinds on college campuses that too often make romantic relationships too serious too quickly.
