MARIAGE DEFINED – COURTSHIP STAGE
_______________________ episode 01B
Courtship is the period where in a couple get to know each other prior to a possible marriage. Preceded by a proposal.
Now as I said earlier, that I’m talking to the godly people here, if you are not godly please read the previous seasons and make it well with Jesus Christ first
I said that there are people who are in a very right relationship, but they don’t last long, the problem is not always that you are with a wrong person, or that the devil is attacking you, but sometimes your character and the way have started it contributes a lot
According to those definitions given about courtship. It might seem like, that is the time you make decisions whether you are with the right person or not. That is a western culture which is not always the right way to look at it.
Before courtship, there is always a voice of God, that is there to direct you. Before even saying yes to a person. The moment you say yes, you have entered a covenant that might be very painful to break. Before even getting to court anyone, please listen first to the spirit of God.
What we call wrong relationship is a relationship that God doesn’t approve. Even if both of you are churchly🤨
Let’s get our readings now from the Bible👇🏻👇🏻
I would like to talk about the environment before courtship and then we are going to get right into it
Genesis 2:24
[24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Kwa hiyo mwanamume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake naye ataambatana na mkewe, nao watakuwa mwili mmoja.
There is a mystery, in this thing we call marriage, to an extent that even after marriage you still remain single. Singleness doesn’t end with marriage ( I said this earlier)
From the scripture, the Bible talks about the man leaving his parents ready for a partner
There is an environment that needs to be cultivated, especially for a person to be ready for a partner and that is the freedom of mind or individual freedom
You know God, that’s right, you are born again, that’s right, you love Jesus, that’s very okay. But are you isolated enough to receive a partner?
remember this “Marriage is only for the divorced” if you are not divorced then you don’t deserve a marriage.
There are some environments that you must first divorce and put away from you, before even starting what you call courtship. Because courtship is a primary stage of marriage. “Courtship is Marriage at it’s primary stage”
