In this episode of Couples Pursuit, we discuss the courtship stage and how we confuse it with dating. Here's a quick summary of the video: In this episode of Couples Pursuit with Vincent and Valerie, we discuss the courtship stage and how we can sometimes confuse it with dating. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THE VIDEO Here’s a quick summary of the video: 1. Pray intentionally. Don't just ask for a spouse, but ask for what you want, need, and desire in a spouse. 2. Dating is recreational. Courtship is intentional. Though both may include similar activities, the end purpose and the goal are not necessarily the same. 3. Set physical boundaries. Doing so allows space to see if you'd like to build a relationship. 4. Know if you are ready to court/be courted and be honest about that with yourself and others. 5. Set your standard and maintain it! Everyone is not going to meet it, but you should never lower it. 6. Remember that sex is reserved for marriage for a reason. It may not be the standard for non-believers, but for those who are followers of Christ 7. Physical intimacy bonds one person to another person in ways that we cannot see. (Remember the sticky paper?) It is not as simple as just walking away. 8. A break-up after a courtship can be disappointing, but a break-up after dating and intimacy can be devastating. 9. Adapt the mindset of courtship vs. dating. Court with purpose. It may take a while to find the "one," but when you'll be so glad that you saved your love to share with them exclusively! 10. Courtship includes accountability. There are plenty of activities to be shared that cultivate a relationship that does not have physical intimacy. 11. Abstinence and celibacy are very real possibilities for you. Having a relationship with Jesus makes this possible.
