Courtship meaning
Many people do think that courtship is only a media for
fornication(sin) but I will not disagree with that
but I will still say a little No to that. Courtship is not only a media
for fornication, it is also a media where two adults come together
to understand each other and know what they need to know
before getting marry.
Courtship is like a school.
Many divorce homes these days are related to the absent of courtship,
some will say it was love at first sight so
I couldn’t wait than to make her my own, my parent said it was a
good family to marry from, our parents
were friends, she is smart and intelligent, she was the most
beautiful in college, he was the most
handsome in college, he has muscles, our church was against it etc.
Was that the only reason we end up in marriage?
What if some years later things start changing, she is no more
that beautiful as at in college? What if he
stopped working out to keep himself really physically fit anymore?
What if your parents later have issues and misunderstanding set
in and they break their friendship?
What will be the outcome of all these questions?
Don’t marry someone with condition attached to it, because one
day, when that condition that made
you to love nor accept to be the person’s partner disappeared,
then marriage will end up becoming a battle field or a grave yard
in which everywhere is silent and if care is not taken, it will open
ways to divorce. from courtship meaning, we can now talk on;
— REASONS WHY COURTSHIP IS IMPORTANT BEFORE
MARRIAGE
treats you.)
Remember that someone being romantic doesn’t only have to do with the bedroom.
You can have fun with someone without having sex with the person. Example of romantic
moments are:
are privilege to have him/her as your fiancée
— THINKS TO LOOK FOR:
way people look at you is also
determine by the words that comes out from your mouth when
you speak) so mind
your words.
NOTE all these are part of the things you watch out while in courtship not until when you
are married.
Once you are married, you both belong to each other but in courtship, you can deal with
what needs to be deal with in and on time.
If there is no regret during courtship, there will be regret in marriage, all you have to do
is to keep your home both physically and spiritually fit.
—- THINGS NOT ADVISABLE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY
what you didn’t see back then.
NOTE THIS (courtship meaning) Marriage is to be enjoy and not to be endured Don’t
endure while you are dying within you, just because you don’t
want your marriage to scatter or your friends/ people to
gossip about it, you now decide to endure it.
Marriage is not all about endurance perhaps for how long will you
continue to endure nor keep up the act that your marriage is okay.
It is until it kills you? If you have made this mistake and
maybe it I hunting you now, seek for a counselor, if you can convince your partner to join you, then you do.
Pour out your heart let him/her get to know your pains and the
trauma he/she have put you through.
Then if change occur good, but if after everything no change.
Then I will say “FOLLOW YOUR HEART” Be wise.
marrying the wrong person is not one of the mistake you should
plan to make in life.

• ‘No man has approached me for marriage’ 18 years old Nollywood Actress Sharon Ifedi Reveals
Friendship and relationship are two different things. The things that are not working during mutual attachment can not work during a relationship. that is why it is necessary to start any relationship with anyone with friendship then taking it to the next level.
Most times when I tell friends and family that I value friendship most times more than intimate, there is a question I usually receive that is;
Does friendship matter before the relationship? Can’t I get into a relationship first before becoming the person’s friend?
Well, you can still start a relationship before friendship. the fact is that most of them do end in tears because you will go and see the kind of lifestyle you never expected and that occurs because you knew nothing about him and his ways of life.
But note this, a man or a lady who isn’t qualified to be your friend can’t be your wife or your husband. The enemy you know is better than the friend you don’t know.
Friendship has a lot and a huge role to play in your relationship.
Now let’s see the advantages
WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD FRIENDSHIP BEFORE RELATIONSHIP
• Friendship brings freedom: there are something’s you can’t do with your lover or in the presence of someone you call your lover, but you can say it or do it in front of your best friend.
• Secrets Shared: You can’t hide everything from your friend, but you can hide almost if not everything from your lover.
• You will get to know the real person. The atmosphere for fakeness is less than in a relationship.
• You will know his likes. One of the things that are just necessary for a relationship is “compatibility” No matter what you do nor try if you and your partner are not compatible, then there is no forever hope for the relationship nor marriage.
THEREFORE WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU CAN BE COMPATIBLE WITH
2. The way he/she treats family: it is very easy for one to fake to be very caring and loving during a relationship, but hard to fake during friendship and marriage. that’s why you will easily hear people saying “he was not like this when I married him”, “If I knew you were this wicked, I couldn’t have married you, woman” etc.
Now in things like this, if you want to find out, you will discover that most of them just started from a date to a relationship, then marriage.
More than half (1/2%) percent of women, that are in a relationship today, can do the undo just to keep their man, and no matter how you fake the relationship/marriage, it won’t last.
Note: “When you use fakeness to keep a relationship, you will use fakeness to maintain it”. Apst. Jordan Akada.
Yes, from friendship into relationship is very important as it is going to help you and your partner to grow together in love, understanding, and unity.
It will also help you both to understand that being a grown up does not mean that you are above fun in the home like example pillow fighting,playing of cards, games etc.
many of these can only occur if there is friendship between you two in the relationship.
From my research, I will say yes to this, and what is your own view? Love is not always constant, it can always fate away, and if no understanding, the relationship dies. Now understanding Can only occur if friendship was already on the ground.
Friendship keeps your relationship/marriage lively. Lively in this aspect means fun and entertaining. So if you want to have a good and happy relationship, start with friends so that you can deal with and sort out what is necessary before you step into the relationship.
Lovers can always come and go but friendship stands a taste of time.
friendship and relationship is very important in marriage.
Now i ask, friendship and relationship, which one do you prefer to exist first?
Fancy Acholonu, the estranged fiance of Nollywood Actor actor Alex Ekubo has continued to speak through more light on their failed engagement.
The American-based model has finally revealed why she called off their engagement. While responding to Fab jewels appeal for her to keep their issues private, in reaction, Fancy claimed that Alex was trying to ruin her and her reputation, because she left him.
She further highlighted some of the things she endured with Alex, from his cheating to his lies and lots more. But for him to make her constantly apologize to him is wrong. In her words she wrote;
“No I won’t. Alex has succeeded in trying to ruin me and my reputation just because I left him. Grace you slightly know me I’m calm quiet dance, play work, and mind my business. I endured everything a Nigerian women typically does from her man which is lies and all the cheating etc.
But to make me apologize constantly publicly. It is WRONG! I never revealed why I left. I never bashed him. I only said sorry for making a statement. I am someone’s child, someone’s future wife. I need to speak up for myself. Don’t tell me to stop. Silence is why many people are depressed. Alex needs to stop is manipulation! His ego and wanting me to say sorry all the time is a problem NOT me! Everytime I’ve made its a statement is because of HIM! Don’t tell me to stop. Tell him”.

There lived three friends Mike, Moses and Miracle (M3).
Mike was tall, chocolate skin and muscular, Moses was cute but
short, Miracle was fair, tall and slim.
These three have been friends since childhood that everybody
who knew them started calling them M3.
M3 were so closed that they never wanted to separate from one
another even their parent never tried to separate them.
M3 have been together until university level.
In the university, Mike studied computer science, Moses
marketing while Miracle studied Law.
At the end of their study year, Mike was able to obtain a master
degree scholarship to study in India best Institution of
Technologies.
Miracle was called to bar immediately he completed his education
and Moses went into digital marketing businesses.
Few years later, Mike was through with his Masters and decided
to come back to the country.
Even when his parent asked him to stay over there and start a life
maybe go for doctoring, he said No.
On reaching the country, he now decided to bring up a business
idea during his sit out with his friends. Which they all agreed to it.
A month later, Mike being good in his field, decided to build a site
with the niche m3gist and later shared
responsibilities between his friends.
Moses was in charge of the marketing, advertisement, promotions
etc.
Miracle was in charge of the latest trending in national and
international news and Mike was in charge of the maintenance
and also programming tutor.
A year later, their m3gist website started gaining popularity they
then went further and rented a building to use as a company.
With this, they started helping people running local businesses in
their city by registering their businesses, products with m3gist for
advert.
Mike, Moses, Miracle founders of m3gist marketing group of
companies was recognized all over the world.
Mike being the brain behind m3gist, tall and handsome guy, he
could get any lady he decides with that, he believed that there is
nothing like love without money.
His friends tired talking him out of his flirting life style but it was
in vain.
One day they were having lunch in a restaurant when a lady
walked up to their table and said “Hello handsome” when they
looked up Mike discover that she was referring to him so he
looked at his friends and later turned around and smile at the
lady and said, “Hello beautiful”.
Am Sandra she said and I’m Mike. So, Mr. Mike do you mind we
speaking on phone?
Then handed over her card to Mike before Mike could respond.
Then he said sure who with his right senses wouldn’t call a
beautiful damsel like you. They both smile and held hands for a
minute then left.
(Immediately she left)
Mike discovered that his friends were starring at him with surprising eyes, he then laughed and said what?
Am I the one that went for that one or she came to me? Guys see
that’s life, when you are tall, cute and rich, love is very simple to get.
Miracle: (to mike) you better be careful because being cute and
rich does not prevent disease when it comes knocking.
(they all laughed and started eating their launch)
Miracle was really disturbed by his friend’s life style he then
decided to discuss it with Moses so that they can make a plan on
how to make him stop.
(That evening, they went to Mike’s apartment while chatting and
watching India love movies, an idea came into Moses head and he
spoke out)
Mike, have you ever stick with one lady up to a month before?
Moses asked.
On hearing the question, Mike laughed, Of course not… why
should I be wasting my time
while there are other ladies out there waiting for their own share
of this (he touched his body).
Miracle and Moses decided to use his statement to their own
advantage knowing very well that Mike doesn’t like losing to
anyone when it comes to challenges.
So they said Mike if you date a particular lady for at least two
months, we will give you 10% of our share of the company.
But he laughed then stir at them and said you are kidding? Then
he discovered that they were not smiling so he said, you guys are
not kidding?
We are serious but it’s okay, we already knew you can’t do it.
(he was mute for some minutes)
He said, but two months is too much now….
Miracle: So do you agree or you are backing out?
Mike: No I agree, perhaps 10% from you both will go a long way.
But I got to choose the lady I want. Do you guys agree with me?
Miracle and Moses: (both agreed) you are the boss.
