COURTSHIP – AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE!
Courtship is wonderfully romantic, old-fashioned, yet absolutely essential. Courtship is when you can spend thoroughly enjoyable days and evenings getting to know each other. This is when it is appropriate to ask the following questions, and discuss the answers honestly and fully.
1. Are you truly committed to fidelity? Are you truly willing to be in a marriage mode rather than a dating mode, specifically with each other?
2. Are your desires and goals, your philosophies and attitudes, your behaviors and methods aligned. Do you really like and respect each other? It’s not that you each must do everything perfectly. It is important, however that you don’t drive each other crazy most of the time. As you each stumble through life’s challenges, on the whole do you find each other charming rather than irritating? Are you willing to watch with concern yet keep a respectful distance, then swell with pride at each other’s achievements?
3. Are you sexually attracted to each other? If you are committed and truly like and respect your partner then you can learn to grow into a loving and tender sexual relationship. Are you willing to create this?
If all the signals are a go, then courtship has done its job. Hand in hand you both are now ready to take the next step into a successful relationsh
