We grew up ignorant of history and entrenched in modern evangelical culture. This church culture led us to believe that it was most beneficial to shop around for our future spouse by dating a lot of duds until we found "the one." After seeing the myriad of pitfalls inherent in this model, we have opted for a different way in helping our children find a spouse. Join us in this episode as we define the courtship model, and discuss biblical principles of for finding one's spouse. In the end, the terminology we use doesn't matter. The word courtship does not find its roots in Scripture; the principles for finding a spouse, however, are revealed in Scripture. To be truly consistent in our application of those principles, we ought to be intentional to not just follow the course set by the world, or what is considered normal in broader evangelicalism, but align ourselves with God's Word in every area of our lives, including this area of finding a spouse.
