The following are refreshing posts on the idea of "courtship" and avoiding the dating game. It's so inspiring to see young women that are so strongly pursuing purity and trusting God to bring them a husband.
"The Contemplations of Courtney: Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him..."
Courtney's follow up post on courtship
Feelin Feminine; Miss Jocelyn's post titled: "You don't have a boyfriend?"
A couple books I want to read & use when raising up my little girls:
Raising Maidens of Virtue: A Study of Feminine Loveliness for Mothers and Daughters by Stacy McDonald
"Before you meet Prince Charming" by Sarah Mally

Imagine...I have two little boys. If I raise them to be godly young men who don't do traditional 'dating' and other women raise their girls to be godly young women who don't do traditional dating either --- imagine the possibilities! I need to now begin praying for my sons' wives. Whoever God may have for them. Crazy as it may seem, hubby and I have lightly kicked around the idea of arranged marriages, even. After all, the divorce rate is already 50%...we can't do much worse!
ReplyDeleteI love Raising Maidens of Virtue, my (then) Fiance gave it to me to read right before I left to prepare for our wedding. I read it on the plane and it really touched my heart and has helped me make a lot of changes in my life.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I also courted, and it was the most wonderful time ever. God is SO good!
Blessings,
Laura
