Courtship means accepting a man's marriage proposal after Devine approval.it is a period between when a lady accepts a man's marriage proposal and actual wedding day.the courtship period is intended for knowing each other more intimately,affectionately, spiritually, religiously, socially etc with exclusion of sexual intercourse.it is a mutual marriage commitment made between a man and a woman.
Advantage of courtship
Marriage without courtship often leads to crises because it involves two complete strangers that are going to marry each other.its not a waste of time and should be encouraged by parents pastors,mentors,prophets, counselors and even the would be couples,no matter the case
1.it helps the courting partners to know each other more intimately.
2.it helps them to make necessary adjustments.
3.it helps them to promote understanding and
4.it helps to promote dignity.
5.it helps to develop a sense of security.
6.it saves courting partners from furnications and attendant sexually transmitted diseases.
7.it facilitate inter family relationship with inlaws.
I wonder how long this period is and why there's a proposal to someone you do not know or like already.
Why say "yes" first and next find out this is not the one for you?
