am baffled by the issue of courtship before marriage because to my understanding either the long and short courtship will not guarantee a succesful marrige coz any girl that knows that u want to marry her will neva reveal her true color. i think prayer is the only way out for God to find u a suitable partner in this world. And to cap it all if a courtship must hold, what must be the least duration. BE SINCERE PLS COZ I WIL LIKE TO MAKE USE OF UR SUGGESTIONS.

Prayer ok!!!. . , But you will still need to understand her berra and the only way is to keep dating for sometimes before marriage with prayers of course!!!

but for how long will u date her at least

nothing guarantees a succesful marriage dating only has advantages i.e you get to know the person before you commit that how people used to do long back they wouldnt be having se/x

just a prayer wont give you a good partner i.e praying in home and you dont go out to meet people eg at church no one will see you

there is no formular for successful marraige if there was am sure all married people who be very happy in their marriages

dating does not guarantee successful marriage. it takes the grace of God for marriage to work and it also takes the grace of God for one to understand his/her partner cos some people are talented "pretenders" and would not show who they really are until the knots have been tied.

It does base on individual. Your own choic can't be mine.
It works for me neatly and blessfully

it is not the grace of GOD but your own work through GOD


GOD helps those who helps themselves i.e you dont have to sit and wait for GOD to work it out for you but you work it our yourselfs and as long you pray to your GOD he will bless you more with wisdom

Like how long do you expect your own to be?
Never let it be long. once you guys get to study each other to know do and don't, then why not proceed and fulfil the laws of life?

why?

how long is LONG

^^^

long is relative.

courtship is definately adviced but does not guarantee success.

I will just say life will be better if those involved are best of friends.

Well prayer is good though and court ship allow you both to understand each other week point such as habit etc .but it shouldn't be long,i court my wife. just for three month n i discover she had a hot temper n thank God have been able to change her.

Courtmanship is always good. Because you do need to find out if you two are compatible.  You need to try to get to know each other.  While it's true when you are courting, most people put their best foot out.  This is why it's a great to have a strong relationship with God.  Because it is He who know's all and who will put you with someone who will be equally yoked with you.  Having a good prayer life and reading God's word is definitely a absolute MUST for wisdom and relevelation.  However, you have to put your faith to work.  Your spouse won't come floating down on a cloud from heaven with some flowers in his/her hand asking for your hand in marriage.  That is why you should step out on faith and get out there and date.  No one is guarantee anything, not even your life span.  Because the bible says: tomorrow is not promised to no one.  Therefore, courting is natural act to find out if you two are suitable and you also get to learn more about yourself in the process.
