Courtship serves an important purpose in helping couples build a foundation for a potential marriage. It allows them to get to know each other deeply, ensuring that they can make a well-informed decision about their future together. As highlighted in Proverbs 20:25, it’s vital to carefully consider commitments, especially the marriage vow. Whether a couple decides to marry or to part ways, the courtship is valuable as it guides them to the right outcome. Ultimately, the goal is to make decisions based on thoughtful reflection and respect.
What is the purpose of courtship? (Proverbs 20:25)
Although courtship can be enjoyable, it is also a serious step that may lead to marriage. On their wedding day, a couple vow before Jehovah to love and respect each other for as long as they both live. Before making any vow, we should consider the matter very carefully. (Read Proverbs 20:25.) That is certainly true of the marriage vow. Courtship allows a couple to get to know each other and to make a good decision. Sometimes that decision is to get married; sometimes that decision is to end the courtship. If a couple break up, this does not mean that their courtship failed. Instead, the courtship served its purpose—it helped them come to a good decision.
