Courtship Vs. Dating. My musings as a father and pastor.
Looking forward to the continuation. Can you let us know when you post the rest?
Also, can you give us your scripture references that defend your position that the father is the spiritual head and all relationships should go through him? It is not that I disagree, it is that I am always looking for ways to encourage parents toward courtship through the Bible.
that is a helpful post I appreciate that. It really is significant to all in the reformed and unreformed circle especially me since I am a new christian and 16 years old. Thanks for your thoughts- they are helpful.
Or you can just add "covenant" in front of dating and call it "covenantal dating" and that justifies, because "covenant" makes anything cool.

I just recently finished (today) Doug Wilson's book Her Hand in Marriage . I thought it was a good explanations on what courting is and it was probably the best book on dating that I have read (probably because it was the only book on courting that I have read). I am beginning to think that courting is the way to go.
*Note, in no way in endorsing this book am I endorsing Wilson's FV theology, just his thoughts on courting I agree with.
