Seeking God’s Guidance in Courtship: A Christian Perspective
Courtship is a process that should be guided by biblical principles such as respect, purity, self-control, communication, and seeking God’s guidance. Applying these principles requires setting boundaries, establishing accountability, developing a friendship first, and seeking counsel. It is also important to dispel common misconceptions about courtship, understand Ellen G. White’s insights, and ultimately seek God’s will in the relationship. Commitment and marriage should be approached with the same biblical principles and the recognition of the lifelong covenant that it entails. May we honor God in our relationships and trust Him to guide us in the path of His will.
