There's the exceedingly liberal approach some take in affairs of the heart, and then there's this - the hyper conservative approach.

If courtship is what two people truly desire, I wish them all the best, sincerely.
 
What about Ruth? she pursued Boaz? if it wasn't for that then how would Jesus have come about eh?
 
Yeah if thats what you want then fine go for it. Most people though arent going to be into it.
 
I skimmed through the article and I am not getting it. My philosophy is to never date a woman that I would not consider marrying. There's certainly nothing wrong with kissing before marriage. Keep your intentions honorable and you will do alright.
 
Rowina: Different people define biblical courtship in different ways. There is no agreed definition but here is my attempt at one: biblical courtship is the period of time in which a man who is romantically interested in a woman pursues her in an intentional way with the hope of marrying her. The man and woman attempt to not stir up each other's love prematurely and thus do not act like a couple or as if they belong to each other. The man treats the woman as a sister in all purity. Their aim is to reach a wise decision, with the help of their families and Christian community, on*whether they should marry or not while behaving in a way that honours God. The hope is that*whether things work out or not, each person is left undamaged.

I'm not one to compartmentalize romantic feelings like this definition seems to recommend.
 
I am choosing to keep my thoughts to myself on this. I think it could become a total BDF thread otherwise!
 
I am so impressed by all of us!!!! We totally ignored what could've happened here. I think better reactions would've come from BDF!
