Courtship

Good day peeps, 

Today we are considering an interesting concept on the journey to marriage, called COURTSHIP. What exactly do we understand by this word? So many definitions exit for it but we will make do with the Wikipedia's which describes it as “establishment of an agreed relationship for a more lasting type”. In other words, there must be an agreement between the intending couple to have a long-lasting relationship, which confirms what the bible says in Amos 3: 3 that two cannot walk together except they agree. 

It can also be described as a period of time when intending couple get to know themselves so as to be able to determine if they are fit for each other in marriage or otherwise.
