Courtship: How should it be?
It's Another awesome week my country people😂 hope we all enjoyed out weekend?😁
Yeah! Back to my purpose of writing and thanks to the coordinator of this great contest because it is an avenue for us to learn especially the singles here.
COURTSHIP: As I was taught, Courtship is different from dating as our generation tends to merge them together due to lack of understanding. Courtship is meant for matured minds who have the intention of marriage while dating mostly in my country are done by kids who are yet to know there bearing in life.
Yes I do! I'm a Christian and it is Important because it's an avenue for you to know your spouse. You might have been friends but now, the situation is different. You plan, pray, talk about each others vision and purpose, your strength and Weaknesses, your family background, you just need to talk about almost everything.
His likes might be your dislike 👎 your hobbies might not really interest him so you need to balance it all. I hope I'm not counselling here already (smiles). it's just a gift given to me. Let me properly counsel you then, it won't cost you anything than your vote...just kidding anyways.
Ooppsss 🤐
From my own end, perspective and understanding, I won't accept the word "years" a year atmost is fine by me because extention can be a dangerous one. What do I mean? Especially as a Christian, it is very dangerous because the longer the time, the heavier the temptation. How can I be inlove with a man as cute as that and for years we'll be doing "don't touch me oo" when one of the purpose of God according to His word of is for you to touch(Gen 1:22)...winks
Courtship is the foundation for the building of a home which is marriage. How well the two (man and woman) agree during the period of courtship will determine how well they are ready to build a successful marriage together.
It's a NO for me. Our Dear Mother's told us stories of how they were virgin when our Father's met them. They told us stories of the pride and honour in those days which still exist now. Any woman who falls into sex before marriage intentionally, definitely doesn't know her worth neither does she have any pinch of honour in her. What's there to present after the wedding or what if the courtship got broken? Will she then move the shame and dishonour to another man who she will believe will accept her past just like that? It's not so easy but as a woman, we should hold fast to our pride, honour and worth.
Yes I do. Don't mind me ooo but I've got some little words for us all.
• Firstly, make sure you both present yourselves to God to help and direct you on the journey.
• Don't give room for self confidence(like nothing can happen)
• Be open to each other, tell yourselves the truth always
• Learn to control your emotions and not your emotions controlling you.
• Buy the truth in God's word walking in righteousness and purity through prayers
• Love each other
I will love to specially invite my friends @bisolami, @aprendeconkevin and @bessie2023 to join this contest.
