My personal perspective on courtship

Hello everyone am very happy to participate in this contest organised by @okere-blessing which talks about My personal perspective on courtship.

My personal perspective on courtship

In my understanding, courtship is the coming together of a man and a woman before getting married, and through courtship, both genders get to know more about each other, like what their partner likes and dislikes.

The verb form of courtship is courting, and so courting is a laid down process for couples to know themselves and any particular activities they might do together as part of this process.

Some courtship activities include: going on dates, gift-giving, meeting each other's families, dancing, eating together, traveling together, working out some projects together, and wearing special outfits.

How can people in courtship maintain a good relationship that can lead to marriage?

• Communication: This is the basic and very important aspect that can lead to marriage because a relationship that lacks communication is never going to work out. Imagine staying with your partner for Two weeks in a house without talking to each other; the relationship will be dying slowly. So, for courtship to lead to marriage, it requires good communication.

• Love: Love is also a strong key to maintaining a good
  relationship will lead to marriage. When both genders love themself very much, the relationship will grow to the extent that no outsiders will put a mouth or try to separate you, people. So love is very important, and love should be equal like the man should Love the woman and the woman should love the man too. In some relationships, the man will be the only one that does who loves, cares, and others, it should not be so.

• Care: They should care for one another by checking up on them; you can do that by calling them, texting, and asking if she has eaten something; by doing all this, the feelings will grow.

• Trust: In any relationship that lacks trust, surely that relationship will never work out, so for courtship to lead to marriage, trust must be there.

Are there things to be hidden during courtship? If yes, what are they? If No back your answers with your reasons

I believe that since is courtship everything should be open. So my answer is that nothing should be hidden. For some of my reasons, courtship is where the partners will get to know each other more, so there is nothing to hide. The more you hide something from your partners, the more the relationship will be in hiding, so my advice is that people who are still in courtship should never try to hide anything from each other.

Being open in a relationship will make trust your partner because you might have heard something about your partner back, some people will jump to conclusions that their partner is cheating on them, but in a situation where the man or woman is open to each other, the man will just come home and his partner if this is true or not. So my opinion is that people who are still getting to know each other should not try to hide anything from each other because hiding things from each other will result in many things like, lack of trust, and many other things that will hinder that relationship to lead to marriage.

Do you think there's a time frame in courtship? Explain

I don't think there is a time frame for courtship.

Understanding each other and being ready to take it to the next level is the most important thing. When partners put a time frame in mind while in courtship, it ends up rough, and it leads to pressure which is not a good one in any courtship.

Is courtship a guarantee for a successful marriage?

No courtship is not a guarantee for a successful marriage.

But with courtship, you can get to understand what makes your partner happy and what he or she doesn't like. Like I said courtship is not a guarantee that one is going to have a successful marriage, but courtship will expose you to many things that you will see in marriage, so it will get you prepared for what you are going to see in marriage.
