What is the difference between courting and dating?
Because you say: I believe if you want a susseful marriage you should court your girlfriend/boyfriend. Courting leads to Marriages, Dating leads to divorce after Marriage.

Yes, Pedestal, I had to read her profile after reading some of her questions. I asked her another question regarding her aversion to wine and beer.

I'm not the one you requested to answer but:
Courtship is the process: dating is the act of
Courtship is the process of selecting and attracting another for an intimate relationship such as love, sex, commitment, living together, marriage, and having children, or any combination of these. Courtship may last days, months, or even years, but some lovers skip courting altogether as in cases of love at first sight or arranged marriage.
Many couples stop courting or going out after they have chosen to remain together, or after they have married, or after they have children. Those that do still may still call these outings "dates".
Literally, dating means the act of going out on dates. In Western societies, a date is an occasion when one socializes with a potential lover or spouse: it is a pre-scheduled, usually exclusive meeting of two people with mutual interest in one another, to communicate with and to understand each other better through joint participation in one or more social activities during time away from work or school. In this sense, the purpose of a date is for the people dating to become acquainted with each other and decide whether they want to have a serious relationship
There is not much difference in our culture. She is just using a biblical term that our society doesn't identify with, but substites with the word dating.

Well the main dangerous thing here is in the old testament we are told that when the God serving folks dated folks that had other gods that always lead to troubles and leading away from God, [stick to someone in you own faith] and, we live in a world that everyone dies in, like the thieves on the cross we are as good as dead, so does dating and marrage come first as a must do in life that can end at ANY TIME, perhaps with this in mind first things will come FIRST and don't put ANYTHING in frount of your exit from this life which is Jesus Christ, find out more free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com bible questions www.bibleinfo.com talk to me wgr88@yahoo.com God bless you.

Ah, you've been looking at her profile.
She also states:"...drink wine and beer is against the Bible."
So what Jesus was doing at the wedding at Cana I have no idea.
(or what Paul was thinking in his recommendation to Timothy, come to that.)

There is no difference. Just a choice of words.
