Matthew Farnell's Profile

If you feel “out of sight, out
of mind” about the one you are courting, you perhaps should call it quits.

In
courtship, time should kindle, not dwindle, a relationship. There
should be an increased desire to discover more and more about each
other, and spend more time together.

I couldn't get enough of Yvethe,
no matter how much time we spent together.

Courtship is a time for baring one’s soul to another person,
including revealing any dark secrets from one’s past.

A person who
truly loves you should be able to handle the full truth about you.

I
know of instances where the truth was such that the other person in
the relationship couldn’t handle it. That being the case, it was
wise that the couple broke up because the love between them truly
was not a godly, unconditional love.

Yvethe and I have fully
communicated our past and have embraced each other fully in spite of
it.

Courtship is a time for making
yourself vulnerable to the one you are considering as a marriage
partner. It is a time for taking the risk to share what may
initially frighten, surprise, appall, dishearten, or shock the one
you are courting.

about the house
you want to have in the country, the number of children you desire
to have, the way you desire to serve God in your community—should be
shared during courtship.

You should also share your
expectations regarding a spouse.
