courting

Greetings, I come looking for relationship advice. But first, some context. I’ve only had two relationships in my life, and both were with intent for marriage. One of them was with someone serious, smart, and somewhat harsh. One of them was very abusive. My dad has also been in and out of my...

The Miseducation of America's Elite was posted on another thread. I felt the topic would be of interest to many here. Don't be derailed by the title or $40K sticker tag. There's something bigger at work. The miseducation of today's youth. This is a must-read for future parents and Christians as...

This has been an interesting year for all of us. Christian fellowship is hard to find now, especially depending on where you live (referring to the United States in particular). With this pandemic raging on, I have a question for all of you. Is there "the One" out there somewhere? I will...

Me and my girlfriend have been courting for almost 6 months now. We are very very in love and we know for certain that we want to marry each other. The problem is neither of us are in a place where we can get married. Were both just finishing our Junior year of college and we want to wait until...

I am kind of torn on this one. A lot of people who I have talked to and seen online bring up starting premarital counseling almost immediately after entering into a serious relationship. I know that I would like to do it, and of course not at the very last second, but I'm not sure when to...

Good evening brothers and sisters in Christ. Reaching out just to hear others' input: I definitely have a Type B personality (flexible, low-stress levels, relaxed attitude, even-tempered, laid-back, tendency to procrastinate, patient) and I have always been attracted to women who exhibit Type A...

My friend is 20. Her partner is 24 and a new Christian. I'm concerned for her because they are almost engaged and, while he's experienced a lot of growth in the past year, he still shows many areas of concern. For instance, he's very financially unstable (even though they just started Financial...

Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. —Proverbs 18:21 25 Ways to Build Up Your Companion I’ve been thinking about you all day. What can I do for you today? How can I pray for you today? The best part of my day is when you come home. You are...

Is there a point when you realized your readiness for marriage? Was it an internal alarm, sense of peace, craving, or something else? How did you know its time? :-)

Hello everyone, My boyfriend and I were talking about our separate incomes and how we can put that together after I graduate in about a year and we get married. We then started talking about getting a place in a nearby city and he started looking up condos right then for some reason. While...

I made this account just to post this thread; I was hoping for some third party insight from men/women of God that aren’t directly involved in my life because it’s a humiliating story. *WARNING: VERY MATURE TOPIC* I was born and raised in Bible Belt Michigan and moved to San Francisco a year...

I prefer dating but I would be interested in a peaceful discussion about why would you prefer a different option like courting. Share your thoughts!

Hello everyone, How are you? I'm looking for a same gender female prayer and accountability partner for purity. My boyfriend and I are courting. While this has been happening my accountability partner moved and has hit hard times and has been unable to meet with me or email me as much. Please...

Hello Family, I am a young man who is actively looking for a godly christian female to court or date. I have been having a dilemma as for whether or not I should go for women that I have been normally attracted to all my life. Just to give you a little background of myself, I was recently set...

Hi everyone, blessings! I happen to have a big crush. It all started somewhat recent. An event like this is usually something to be a happy about. Unfortunately, I'm very conflicted, and don't know what to do. So I would like to seek council here if possible, to see what you all think. First...

Well, I'm not exactly sure who will read this. And I just want to say before I get into my post, that this will not be grammatically correct. Sorry! lol I really want to tell of my testimony and really ask for the prayers from other believers in the faith. I am so grateful for even just one...

Hello, I really need some advice on my situation. So to start off my boyfriend and I met during college. He was brought up in a strong Christian household, faithful/supporting family, he went to church each weekend, and brought me closer to The Lord. I am a Christian as well, but I was a...

After all, they are not in the Bible, and are not part of the Biblical model for finding a marriage partner. I believe that they have no place in Christian life. In my opinion, there should be no commitment until marriage is proposed and decided. The BF-GF relationship is just pointless, and...
