Hello all!

Here goes my view: Christian courting can be defined as “The period of a man courting or bestowing attention upon a woman to win her affection or love in a way that honors Christ.”

Women are equal in value to men and there should be a mutual respect, love, and effort to keep it real through communication. I have articles about Christian courting and premarital sex on my site written straight from my personal convictions.

BTW if anyone is interested in the topic of Sex and God, I am starting a new blog on the topic and would love comments, criticisms, any research or input. The blog is called Wheat and Chaff and the URL is alonistis.wordpress.com

So did you learn anything about the Biblical rationale for this courtship tradition? Are they basing this on Old Testament ideas? Do they think this process carries some kind of Biblical mandate or is it just an interpretive tradition?

Kevin,

I’m not sure if he saw your question or not, but he lives here in the Twin Cities now.

I’m going to be shopping around in a year or so for a custom guitar. Still in the northwest?

Well, “You Mom” (I’m sorry, I can’t take you seriously with that name. As do I hope you don’t take me seriously), “Sex” is not, necessarily, intercourse. I said nothing of intercourse. Though, if I might say (in all vulgarity), that Christian fornication (for it really is no different from any other sex) is far more awkward, smelly and emotionally draining than some will lead you to believe. Ultimately, what I was getting at is that sexual interaction is boring.
All that silliness aside, I will make a tiny-bit more of case on why I think Christian sex, or rather courtship-sexual-interaction is boring. Supporters of courtship say they are protecting couples for getting hurt and making mistakes (a.k.a. committing “sin” [intercourse*ehem*]). However, isn’t getting hurt and making our own mistakes in spite of our elders’ wisdom one of the great freedoms of life? I’ll be so bold and say yes. It is my belief that the perpetrators of “courtship” have one concern above all others: DON”T KNOCK UP OUR WOMEN OUT OF WEDLOCK. A belief I’m all for. However, my reasoning stems for and perverse desire to see the human race void from existence, rather than any convictions of nobility. Okay, now I’m boring myself.

Atta boy mom! I do think that Allen’s post is pensive. He recognizes a couple times in the essay that his experience seems a bit unique.

Trust me Allen, my wife gives me many pieces of her mind! And I have mocked courting ever since I heard of it.
