Contest Alert: My personal perspectives about courtship.

Hello friends welcome to my blog as I write on this interesting topic.

What is your understanding about the word courtship?

Courtship is the process in a relationship between a man and woman in love getting to know each other better. During this process you take your time to learn about each, to see if they are compactable spending the rest of their lives together in marriage.

How can people in courtship maintain a good relationship that can lead to marriage?

Maintaining a good relationship in courtship entails being real, with no pretense, and being open to each other to see if your partner can condone your flaws. Although some people in courtship tend to hide or pretend which when married and the real self is showcased leads to lots of problems in the marriage which leads to separation or divorce if not properly handled.

So people in courtship should learn to tolerate and take correction where necessary to maintain a good relationship

Are there things to be hidden during courtship? If yes what are they. If No back your answers with your reasons

Courtship is said to be a time to know each other better, I mean your lifestyle, flaws, likes and dislikes, etc. but there are things I feel that should be reserved in courtship, things as past family issues to avoid some cracks or negative impression in the mind of your partner towards your family. he or she should come in with a free mind and observe things him or herself because sometimes things may not end well to marriage and your family has been sold out.

So focus on knowing yourself personally, no doubt family should be known and talked about but with some reservations.

Do you think there's time frame in courtship? Explain.

I don't believe that the courtship process should have a time frame because individual perspectives and abilities differ, but if it is taking longer than expected like years there should be a genuine reason for that with understanding and agreement between both parties.

Some people might be ready to move on to the next stage which is marriage but lack the resources at the moment. if no genuine reason why a courtship process is taking too long I think it has been considered to become time-wasting.

Is courtship a guarantee for successful marriage.

No, it's not. Courtship and marriage have no template because what works for one might not work for the other. some people never courted but live happily ever after. while some courted and it was all a smooth ride in the courting process and marriage never worked out well for them.

So courtship is not a 100 percent guarantee for a successful marriage, although it helps most times to have an insight of your partner you are considering marrying.
