Make Your Courtship Purposeful
Courtship is the period between when two people agree to marry and when they
actually do. A successful courtship is a necessary step towards a successful
marriage.
The reason many people experience misunderstandings and all kinds
of trouble in marriage is because they did not have a purposeful courtship.
There are certain factors that enhance the quality of your courtship.
Spend Time Talking Together
To ensure a qualitative courtship, you must create time to be with your fiancé(e),
during which you share things about each other: your dreams, interests, view
points, calling or assignment, etc. That is why it is important to spend time talking
together, not just looking at each other and saying, "Oh you're so beautiful. I love
you so much."
Your words are an indication of your thoughts and the direction in which you are
going. If you want to know if he is a serious Christian, listen to him talk for five
minutes. I discovered that it is impossible to separate an individual from his
words.
If your fiancé(e), for instance, only talks about money, it is an indication that he or
she is money minded. If on the other hand he is only interested in your physique,
you will hear him speak of nothing else. Your words are an outflow of the
thoughts of your heart.
"How can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh."
-Matthew 12:34
My husband and I courted for six years (very short, isn't it?), and every time I
heard him speak, I knew the direction he was heading. I knew his convictions,
which were my convictions also. So it became easy for both of us to flow
together.
