Courtship is anything you want it to be. I did a little searching and turns out that courting in short is just the dating period between now and when your married. Which includes basically anything you want.
I've seen really good dating relationships and really bad courting relationships. I support neither. I prefer the term "relationship", because whenever you see that word you avert your mind to something deeper. When I hear the word dating, I automatically think break-up. Dating is too shallow. True courting (fundamentalist you-need-a-chaperone-every-waking-second-or-else!) is a lack of privacy. Boundaries are good, but if they hinder in getting to know the person you want to spend the rest of your life with (aka having someone else watching you every second = zero privacy = you don't know your future husband/wife like you should), courting is the wrong answer too.
I hold back love. Partially in fear of not getting what I should receive in return, and because I keep true feelings held back as well. Truth is, if you think you know what I'm feeling, you don't.
Most people let it go too freely. Referring to guy/girl.
Most people don't let it go too freely. To the broken, the lost, the weary, we need to spread our love to others.
I can't wait to find true love. first and foremost our first love should always be our Savior, but then secondly that guy. That guy my Savior has for me, marriage, three kids, a dog, cozy house, a big trampoline, happiness. I want to fall in love with the life he has blessed me with : )
We underestimate the power of Gods love too frequently.
I am unworthy of love.
Song of Songs is precious.
I am currently finding love. In more ways than one, and its not what you think.
Keep on loving. Love your enemies. Catch them off guard. Make them wonder why.
