"..courtship isn't just about marriage and the pursuit of it; it involves all of life...The purpose of courtship is a commitment to refrain from what may be fun and entertaining now (recreational dating) in light of preparing for a life-long, God-honoring marriage. Courtship, in a nutshell, is spending the time and energy of youth to please God, undistracted by the emotions and attachments of dating."
