If the two people involve are not open to each other then that marriage is doom. Thats why you see people who are married for years and are still strangers to each other. Long courtship till thy kingdom come has no much effect to a blissful marriage without openess.

i think courtship helps both partiess to know some not all things about the other person and even themselves.
when courting, knowing marriage is on the horizon, one tends to figure out some things which may act as a catalyst to a proper marriage.
i strongly believe that courtship within a reasonable time is good for marriage,

ROTFL! Joker!  grin

How else do you hope to know anything about your proposed spouse if you don't court?  I take the point that you may still not end up knowing much until you're married, but at least give yourselves a good shot at it!

Marriage at first sight!  Oh dear . . .   smiley

Oh yeah, Courtship is very important or how am i gonna know she aint good in kitchen nor bed.
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by mamagee3(f): 1:10am On Feb 03, 2011
I think it's important in a weird kind of way. . .
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by roymary: 1:11am On Feb 03, 2011

There is nothing weird about it. Just the right thing to do especially with this new world we've got.
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by adconline(m): 1:33am On Feb 03, 2011
can you buy a car without a test drive?
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by roymary: 1:35am On Feb 03, 2011
^^^

Nice one. But hey, test drive is short; i need to lease her to own her.
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by adconline(m): 2:02am On Feb 03, 2011
adequate test drive should be done, because trade ins are not allowed. u buy it, you own it forever,
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by dayokanu(m): 2:58am On Feb 03, 2011
no to courtship, lets get married immediately
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by chika98: 7:42am On Feb 03, 2011
Courtship is important but what's more significant is how open both parties are to each other during the duration
of the said courtship.
You can date someone for an x number of years but it doesn't mean you know all there is to know if they haven't been
open to you. Plus the longer the courtship the less chance of marriage.
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by dayokanu(m): 7:43am On Feb 03, 2011
^^ SHould we court or just get married straight?
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by chika98: 7:47am On Feb 03, 2011
Anything over a year is doing too much. This only applies in cases where both people are mature
and have things going for them . Doesn't apply to folks dating each other in college.
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by dayokanu(m): 7:48am On Feb 03, 2011
I think 6months to a yr where the couple live close together is the best.

3 yrs of courting while both live on either side of the world is useless IMO

Any man who is matured enough to get married and one that actually wants to marry at some point
is STILL dating you after a year and hasn't even made any plans to see your parents then keep it moving
he doesn't wanna marry you. What is a 35 year old man doing still DATING? Yeah right!
You ain't the chic he wants to wife up.

Older folks tell me all the time; If e don pass one year nne start looking elsewhere cool
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by dayokanu(m): 8:05am On Feb 03, 2011
Does the one yr start counting from when he meets you or when you propose?

I hope you havent been counting the 1yr for me from the day we first talked on NL cool

deco2come:

Courtship doesn't take away the freshness of your marriage. If dating a lady for about 5 years will take away the freshness, what will happen after 8 years of marrying a lady without dating her；Do you think the freshness will also die?

The fact is this, marriage is like a two side blade, you might get the sharper side. Dating or no dating doesn't guarantee a joyful marriage. It boils down to getting the right person.
True!

I dont think so. Our Grandads can testify. They didnt court, but their marriage is the lastest!
Funny but true!
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by VERYANGRY(m): 9:39am On Feb 03, 2011
Hmmm,from the figure so far,women re more against courtship,i dont know why!!! Looks like every matured girl/lady wants to be her man's last love grin grin,,
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by dremoney(m): 10:00am On Feb 03, 2011
I strongly believe courtship is necessary but not so important.

Alot of people pretend during courtships.
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by sandraa(f): 10:23am On Feb 03, 2011
I Think dis courtship thing is way overrated o!

y court a chic when u aint sure you will marry her?

if u want to keep her put a ring on it its as simple as abc!

Married guys in the house pls testify lets say Amen!
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by VCML: 11:09am On Feb 03, 2011
It is important to date for a while before getting married. I will usggest 6 to 18 months.
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by kross01(m): 2:07pm On Feb 03, 2011

that is because the ladies back then never lied wit their looks, or body parts, they were all natural and them guys werent into porn nd d likes as is d case now. in summary they were true africans natural nd nt westernised as we r now
Re: Is Courtship Before Marriage Important? by adconline(m): 4:30pm On Feb 03, 2011
Points to remember: Most guys don’t come into a relationship thinking I'd to like her to be my wife. They always to test-drive the relationships until they are comfortable to settle down. Marriage is less of a fascination to most bachelors than most bachelorettes, because most men believe that they will get married someday, but most women have self imposed datelines on when to get married…

I think to avoid gambling with your future, courtship is necessary.
