Hey everyone! I'm hoping to get some outside opinions on what other Christians think on the courtship vs dating topic. I'm always curious to know the why's behind peoples opinions!
I lead a single ladies bible study through my church as well as work with the youth, and this is a topic of high debate (the healthy kind). I believe God asks us each to seek Him first in this matter and He will lead some to dating and others to courtship, and I don't believe one route is better then the other. Each of us has different circumstances and backgrounds that may require a different approach when it comes to letting someone close.
Personally I lean towards courtship. I like to be able to see how someone treats their friends, family, and strangers before opening my life up to them. Respect and trust must come before an intimate relationship, but my history has alot of weigh in on that.
Anyway, sorry about the runaway tangent, please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions, and whys on this subject! Thanks! ~Walk In Love~
