Courting is an old fashioned term for something that I fear
is becoming old fashioned. Courting is
more than dating. It is not about the
romance quotient in a relationship. Courting is making everyday life something
special with the person that you are in a relationship with.
Making breakfast for your girl on a Sunday morning should
not stop after you have seen each other naked seventeen times. Even better, make breakfast on a Tuesday
morning. Leave a note in a bagged lunch, tell them you
like them in that shirt, blow dry your hair in a room that will not wake him up
in the morning, put their slippers on their feet when they have forgotten, kiss
her cheek instead of her lips, redbox a movie he has been wanting to see, help
before you are asked.
It is important to have a balance in a relationship and in
the courting process. Courting is not a
contest, it is not graded on a point system, and it is not to be used as a bargaining
tool.
Courting is having grand gestures, small gestures, words,
and actions come together to communicate the state of your relationship.
If you find yourself doing all of the courting, you are in
trouble.
