Courtship is a relationship between a Christian man and woman during which they seek to determine if it is God’s will for them to marry each other. The main difference between dating and courtship involves the goals to be reached by spending time with each other. Courtship strives to answer the following question: how can [...]
For a while now, I have been meditating on the word “courtship” and I found that it is actually two words combined. Court and ship. We all know that a court is a place where rulings and judgement are made regarding a case and that supporting evidence is presented (yes, I have watched far too [...]
We are all responsible for ‘something.’ When you are in a courtship, one of the responsibilities both you and your partner have is to stay (sexually) pure until the wedding day. It is important that you focus on God, and that you try to do that together. It is written in Proverbs 27:17 (NIV): "As [...]
Imagine yourself in a relationship with perfect communication, but no trust due to past disappointments. As a result of all the let-downs, you will not seriously build on what your partner tells you anymore, so every promise spoken word will face your scepticism right? On the other hand, imagine yourself in a relationship with complete [...]
In current days, it is deemed normal to date as much as you can to find the right person to settle down with. But is that not the reason many get stuck with a broken heart and are singing the "had I known" song? You know, the song that you sing when you wish you [...]

Courting is not about pleasing your partner but it’s about pleasing God in unity. The end goal is to marry someone who has the same purpose in life. Many times you see people placing their [...]
When two individuals are courting, it means that they are preparing themselves to eventually get married to one another, right? It's not all too unusual that their focus is then shifted towards planning the wedding and preparing for marriage. However, correct me if I’m wrong, courting someone does not necessarily mean that the person you [...]
Here’s me being honest: I don’t like courtship. Better said: I used to not like it. Before I start pouring the tea on that, here a few wise words: ignorance can keep you from your blessing! For Proverbs 3:13-15 (NIRV) says: “Blessed is the one who finds wisdom. Blessed is the one who gains understanding. [...]
Forgiveness can be one of the hardest things to do as a young female Christian, especially in courtship, relationships and other aspects in life! In Ephesians 4:31-32 (NKJV) it says "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even [...]
