Courtship (2)

You cannot force someone to love you even if you are crazy in love. And even if your partner is madly in love with you, there is no guarantee that it will last over the years. Love is a dynamic, living, breathing force that is susceptible to all kinds of changes. We have all seen love turned upside down when it is least expected. We have seen incredibly intense love cool off and become hard and insensitive.

Lovers need to know this and court accordingly. Courtship is a very uncertain time. Though two persons commit to go steady, their commitment is built on shaky ground even if they feel it is strong. This is because the commitment to go steady is made at a time when neither knows the other very well and therefore cannot predict the outcome of the courtship.

People who court should do so with caution. They need to keep in mind that the possibility of the relationship not working out is very real. They should put thoughts of marriage on the back burner until they get to know each other very well.

This will require a reasonable length of time. Quickie courtships that lead to the altar almost always end up in disaster. Courtship is the road to marriage and marriage is very serious business. It should be approached with the respect and caution it commands.-
