How Can You Make a Success of Courtship?Read (part 1)&(part 2)
To make a success of courtship, you must make sure that your moral conduct is above reproach. sex is for two people who are married and should be kept in its proper place. relationships based on sex and money in most cases do not eventually work out. you must never cheapen or displease yourself because you want to get married, always maintain your intergrity. sex is best enjoyed on your wedding night when it has been waited for and endured over time.Be careful that displays of affection do not escalate into unclean conduct or even fornication.
Still there are some relationships that might have started off a bit wrongly, its not that every relationship must fail or not lead to marriage because the parties involved had sex, but some eventually do, if you are having sex in your relationship you might want to ask yourself, "what will i enjoy on the night of my wedding?" my best humble advice is to quit. when you cut sex off in a courtship it helps you concentrate on the more important things and helps you quicken your pace to marriage.
Because the heart is treacherous, both of you would be wise to avoid being isolated in a house, an apartment, a parked automobile, or anywhere else that would give opportunity for wrong conduct.
Keeping your courtship morally clean gives clear evidence that you have self-control and that you put unselfish concern for the other person’s welfare ahead of your own desires.
Communication: is a very vital part of a relationship, the communication line should always remain opened. if your parner lives far off, both of you can still work things out, there should be a steady flow of communication, in these era of social networks and video calls, communication has become a lot easier and even cheaper and you can communicate with each other even face to face as if you were near.
Talk about issues that might present a challenge later in the future like, do you want to have children? how many do you want? where will you both live? will you both work secularly? also discuss about extended families, will your parents or sibblings live with you? how many? these questions and many more should be discussed so that it will not later present a problem in the family.
Preparing for the Wedding:
Some people spend more money on the wedding and arrangements more than they will even spend on the marriage. some spend to please friends and families leaving them financially drained and exhausted.
Make a budget, do not try to please anyone or do not follow slavish customs that can overshadow the meaning of the occasion and may rob you of the joy that you should have.
Remember that your wedding lasts just one day, but your marriage lasts a lifetime. Avoid concentrating too much on the act of getting married. plan ahead for a life of being married. Then you will have prepared well for a successful marriage.
