This is not going to be a long post, but I just wanted to jot down some key points from my class this week. We have been talking about dating with the mindset of BEING married rather than GETTING married. There are a few stages that we should go through before getting married.
1. Dating: many different activities with several different people, we should go on a lot of dates with different people every time. This helps us socialize and prepares us for marriage. There are 3 P's of dating
Paired off this prepares men to Protect
Paid for this prepares men to Provide
Planned this prepares men to Preside
2. Courting: Once we know about what we want we can start courting, which is doing a variety of activities with one person. You should do as many different activities as you can so that you can find out this person's character.
3. Engagement: When you know that this is the person you want to be with then get engaged. This should be the hardest part of this process.
4. Marriage: Only after you are married should you move in together and combine two lives into one. If you have done all of the steps before this, your marriage will have the best chance of lasting.
