Courtship (Part 1)
Courtship can be a wonderful season in developing the romantic relationship of any couple. Courtship is also an important period. It is worthy of a couple’s utmost consideration. A bad date can be quickly forgotten. It may cost you a little time, a little money, and perhaps a little annoyance. A bad courtship, however, can cost you a piece of your soul—your emotional and mental substance.

·Dating is observation. Courtship is involvement.
·Dating is time allotment; it is an end in itself. Courtship is directional; it is moving towards something.
·Dating has no strings attached. Courtship involves some mutual responsibility, more vulnerability, and a greater need for trust.
·Dating is marketing. Courtship is negotiating a potential sale to its close.

A person once said to me, “What you are saying is that dating is casual and courtship is serious. I hadn’t thought of it in precisely those terms, but she was right. Unfortunately in our society at large most people take dating very seriously, and then they continue to date without really taking the idea of courtship seriously. Few people truly have a clear understanding about when they move from dating to courtship. Over the next few weeks, we will delve into what courtship is.
My Question For You:
Have you ever thought about the differences between dating and courtship?

My Challenge For You:
If you are in a dating relationship, consider whether you are ready or not to enter from dating to courtship.
