During courtship, it’s important for couples to understand that disagreements are normal. How you handle these issues can indicate the future of your relationship. The Bible encourages us to communicate with love and respect (Ephesians 4:31, 32), so strive to discuss problems calmly, admit faults, and practice forgiveness. If conflicts are frequent and unresolved, it might signal that the relationship isn't right for you. In such cases, it may be wise to consider ending the courtship for the benefit of both individuals.
What should a courting couple be aware of regarding problems and disagreements during a courtship?
How can you handle problems and disagreements? What if you have disagreements from time to time? Would this indicate that your relationship is not working? Not necessarily; all couples have differences. A strong marriage is made up of two people who can work together to overcome their differences. So how you work through problems now may reveal whether your marriage will be successful. As a couple, ask yourselves: ‘Can we discuss matters calmly and respectfully? Do we readily admit our shortcomings and try to improve? Are we quick to yield, apologize, and forgive?’ (Eph. 4:31, 32) Nevertheless, if you constantly disagree or argue during courtship, the situation will not likely improve after you get married. If you realize that the other person is not right for you, ending the courtship would be the best decision for both of you.
