Why Courtship Beats Modern Dating Every Time

Dating is Broken. Courtship is the Cure​

The modern dating scene can be a nightmare: one-night stands, open relationships, and infidelity. Dating is a loose, often ambiguous term: it can be casual, noncommittal, or open. But for those seeking something deeper and more traditional, there is a solution.

The Church designed a system called courting. Courting or courtship is defined as "the period wherein some couples get to know each other prior to a possible marriage or committed romantic, de facto relationship."

Courting is the traditional way to be in a romantic relationship. It typically leads to happier, healthier relationships, which turn into happier, healthier marriages. It should be noted that there are exceptions to both methods. Plenty of couples form healthy, committed relationships through modern dating. And courting doesn't always lead to a happy relationship or end in marriage--couples who court are not exempt from cheating, lying, or broken hearts.
