In Dating, there initial motive mostly is not that you are looking for someone mutually compatible with you for marriage. Usually it seems people get stuck precommitting themselves for 3,5,6,10 years as boyfriends & girlfriends and end up heartbroken when they find the person is not interested in marriage or leaves them for someone else.
In Courtship the point from the beginning is that each individual is prepared to find a mate for marriage and begins the friendship with that purpose in mind. They dont touch the other individual sexually or try to claim them (like boyfriends and girlfriends) until they get to the serious stage where engagement comes in. And the men usually courted the women.
Now it seems everyone is into microwave relationships. They want intimacy and precommitment now without permanent commitment. (for the option to leave whenever they want).
Is this outdated? But marriages were strong when people did it in the past!!! I prefer courtship. Do you?
