COURTSHIP

When I was a little girl, I remember sitting at my grandmother's kitchen table, listening to her talk about how she met my grandpa. Her stories, and the advice my own mom gave me, really stuck with me. It's funny how those old family stories about love and marriage become a roadmap for our own relationships. The wisdom our mothers and grandmothers pass down to us is like a special gift, shaping how we see commitment, family, and what it truly means to build a life with someone. These lessons from past generations are so important for a lasting, happy marriage.

When my boyfriend gives me a gift, it's more than just an object. It's a special message that he was thinking of me. Thoughtful presents, whether for an anniversary, a birthday, or just because, are a wonderful tradition. It's not about the money, but about the love and care that goes into choosing something meaningful. These presents create lasting memories and strengthen the emotional connection we share in our relationship. A simple, well-chosen item can say so much and really shows how much he values me and our bond.

Is opening a car door for your girlfriend a sweet gesture or old-fashioned? I think simple acts of courtesy and respect are super important in dating and marriage. My boyfriend still does these things, and it makes me feel cherished and respected. It’s not about thinking women are weak; it's about men showing they care through traditional, polite actions. I believe these simple gestures make a modern romance stronger and build a foundation of mutual respect.

When my husband and I started dating, we decided to do things differently. Instead of just following our own feelings, we put God at the center of our love story. It wasn't always easy, but letting Him lead our relationship was the best choice we ever made. It brought so much peace and clarity. Trusting in God’s plan gave us a strong foundation for our marriage and family. If you want a relationship filled with purpose, guidance, and true blessing, the secret is simple: submit it all to Him. Letting God be the author of your love journey is the key to finding a love that is protected and truly meant to be.
