First Thoughts

This blog is about courtship verses dating with courtship being my choice. Why a blog on courtship? People have lots of questions and little knowledge on courtship. They look at my family strange when we say our children did not and will not “date” but will in fact, “court”. Just the word “courtship” seems to bring confusion and questions from people. I will try to answer those questions with this blog, but understand that these are my views. In explaining courtship, I will tell about my experiences with CS along with some personal history to show why we chose courtship rather than dating and some personal history of how we came to our views. This personal history will have much to do with my religious beliefs. I do not intend to offend anyone. These are our beliefs – take them or leave them. If religion offends you, maybe you should not read this blog. I do not mind gentle and orderly debates or different views expressed, but I will not tolerate rudeness or mean-spirited criticism. These are just my thoughts, views, experiences, and beliefs. They are meant to be helpful to those who want answers to courtship questions.
