Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you: do not stir up or awaken love until the appropriate time.
(Song Of Solomon 8:4)
To court means to woo and to woo means to seek the love of another with marriage in mind and not otherwise, but recently courting has been getting a second look by some who seem to notice the pitfalls in today’s dating scene.
Steady one-on-one dating at too young an age with no goal of marriage in sight can lead to problems and temptations which young people not yet matured in love stood to abuse the principles of love, hence not encouraged. Even adults who enter into relationship with the hidden motive to cheat is another enemy of true love. Women have to be very careful!!!
(Marriageagle age starts from 18+. Of course, courting isn’t the starting place for those not of marriageable age, i suggest both party should strike up friendship first, to learn about each others strength and weaknesses, hopes and dreams, beliefs and faith, then elevate to courtship if they are compactable. But, the natural alternative today is a group outing with less stress, less emotional attachment and still enough time to chat and compare personalities.)
A date may sound good in our era and could replace the friendship process but when approached with the wrong attitude, is reckless frivolity, while courting aims at marriage, dating becomes a deception, a reception where young ladies are lured into heartbreak. Guide your heart with diligence and know which is which. Paul warned Timothy " :Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure hear" and the right spouse for you will surface. When you mistake youthly lust to be real love, after the heartbreak, you will also mistake real love to be lust.
