The Ideal Length Of Courtship Before Marriage? by Nobody: 8:23am On Aug 15, 2012
The length or time period before marriage has been seen lately as key in any relationship with future family building plans because it helps partners to understand each other better. It has as well Been seen as necessary and unimportant by many. While some think it should always take a short period and others may think it is suppose to go on for 5 years or even more before marriage. What's your thoughts. How long do you think it should go on before marriage?

2yrs shouldn't b the maximum time. in my opinion, a minimum of 5months and a maximum of when the parties are ready to get married is ok.

As for me, d minimum should be 6mth and maximum should when d both parties think they are ready or mature for marriage. Because marriage is not what someone can just rush into so as not to rush out.

there is no right time frame.. that is something you cant put a number on.. it just happens when it happens.. some couples it may take longer then others. for instance some people are together 4 or 5 years before they get engaged

What's the point of plucking figures from the air?! There hasn't been any proof that the length of time courtship takes plays any role whatsoever in the longevity of the relationship.

i beg to disagree entirely with your arguement on length of courtship as key in a relationship... there is no where in the bible that is was expressly stated or implied that length of courtship is key to successful marriage but rather the fear of God shld be foremost in your relationship. Isaac, Moses, Abraham, Joshua, etc nvr courted but they had a successful marriage .. dis is not to say that there were no issues but that they manage their situations as they continue in their marriage. I know people who nvr dated but got married and they are doing fine and managing their issues as they go along ...

9 mos minimum. 2 years maximum. You are wasting your time if you invest many years in a relationship with no intentions of marrying your partner.

People shuld knw d diff btwn dating and courtship. Why go into courtship wen u are nt ready 4 marriage?

I agree with you. But I think it differs individually. If both partners deem it fit †̥̥o̲̣̥ have known each other well †̥̥o̲̣̥ tie the knot, then they can g o ahead. No fixed number of months or years.

There is no limit to this thing, choice is yours.
For me, I have four years left to my Marriage date (God willing). So, my current relationship would last at least 3 years before engagement. If for some reason we break up before the postulated four years, it automatically shortens the courtship time for the next one.
So, to each his own. Too many generalizing questions on here these days. angry

Agreed. Generally though, you have to take into consideration that two month old courtships have lasted longer than two year courtships in marriage.

Truth is, the amount of time spent in courtship, does not translate to a successful marriage, as time goes, you will learn new things about your partner, so even marriage in it's self is like courtship, new things will emerge. The ability of one to accept the faults and misgivings from their partner and forgive them is what makes a successful marriage, not how long we've spent suffocating each other with our presence

a minimum of 5 months and a maximum of when the partners want to get married.

[b][/b]So when does dating actually translates to courtship? cos understanding when courtship actually starts will assist in the assigning of a time frame.
Different people, communities, religions, families, etc hv their own different ideas of wht courtship is & whn it starts.

Well I'v once attended a particular church prog & d church maintained tht courtship only starts when the guys has proposed.

It depends on individual, but the most important is the ability to ascertain each other well.

Courtship is foréver. D truth is courtship never ends. Its last a whole life time. If its purpose is getting to know ur intended partner, then u wld agree that I am correct.
