Quarreling during Courtship, Long Courtship and Confusion in who to Marry: What's your view?

These young sisters need help. We are talking about Christian girls here, so my perspective is that the shallowness spewing from several pulpits and Bible Study times, Conferences and so on, is not helping these young ones learn to develop the correct mindset for walking with God. So, at the point of trying to get married, it shows. Yes, many of them are confused. However, no one really has anyone to blame for his or her confusion. So, they need to learn to seek help from godly women and people who can show them the way before the question of marriage or who to marry comes up. Mentorship!        </span><br /> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">                                                    </span><br /> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2. Yes, it is possible to court for that long. However, the question is, is it advisable or is it the best? Certainly, long courtship of that length of years should be avoided except when the reason(s) for that long stay or waiting lies squarely outside the control of the intending couple. It could be health, parental and so on. Ordinarily, it is advisable to wait till you are ready for marriage and when you find someone to marry, there is no need to elongate the courtship because the disadvantages are many. So, make it reasonably and acceptably long enough to avoid the negative sides of unnecessary long courtships.                                                                                            </span><br /> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3. During courtship, intending couples quarrel because they are human beings. So, I don't think we should see it as one demonic thing or try to use it to determine whether God is part of the relationship or not. If two people are sincere enough to want to commit their future to one another  they will need to know that there will be some re-shaping on both sides and it is sometimes not as sweet as we would want it to be. This is why marriage is not for boys and girls. Courtship is certainly a good time to test the young man's maturity, his patience, sincerity of love and readiness to care and protect and so on. It is time for the sister to see through the man and decide that she is ready to submit to him at all times and so on. Trying to get our minds re-aligned into these, sometimes, comes with disagreements and yes, times of quarreling. However, what should be a sign that there is something wrong is when their is persistent bitterness, unforgiveness, clear and consistency in deceit or lying, and a great sense of fear or insecurity for the future of the intended marriage. When a time of courtship is bedeviled with consistency in quarreling without genuine reconciliation - no one accepts or takes responsibility and  apologizes and seek forgiveness, bitterness and rubbing shoulders becomes the norm, then, my counsel will be,  carefully negotiate your way out, but that should be after seeking counsel and help from a respected and truly godly person.                          </span><br /> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">You may likely have insight into the questions discussed above.

I thought I was an adult; I thought I knew how to be a great girlfriend. Meeting someone I had a serious connection with taught me that nothing I had experienced before was real. True love feels different than casual relationships -- even if those relationships lasted for years (which is usually well past their expiration date!). When you're in a good relationship, you learn things. You act differently and you think as part of a team -- not as an individual making their way through the world. You'll be more understanding and accepting of your partner, instead of just getting frustrated with them, like you may have with past relationships.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Misunderstandings are inevitable.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Misunderstandings are going to happen. If you take your partner's words one way, then learn they meant something totally different, don't punish him or her. Let it go. Bringing it up all the time is only going to bruise the relationship and cause communication problems later. Sometimes what you say or do will be taken the wrong way, and you'll get frustrated that your partner doesn't understand. Take a step back and realize it's not a big deal. Misunderstandings only become problems if you let them grow bigger and mean more in the scope of your relationship. Be laid-back and forgive misunderstandings.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Trust.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />You have to trust your partner. Why would you share your life with someone when you think they're doing something wrong every time you turn your back? If you don't trust your partner to be faithful, honest, caring or anything else, then you're not in a good relationship. The best relationships begin with a deep trust, and even if problems come up (and they will!), the trust is strong enough to keep you together.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Let yourselves miss each other.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />You're in love, so you want to be together all the time! It's so fun to cuddle all night and be together all day, but when will you have time to experience different things? When you go to separate work places or schools, you're experiencing things that will give you something to talk about later. When you go out with your friends and your partner spends time with theirs, then you're having time and space to yourself, then coming back to each other refreshed. You have a chance to miss each other, and it helps you really understand the value of your relationship. Missing someone is great because getting to see them after that period will make you so happy and so sure of your relationship.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Encourage growth and change.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />In a good relationship, both partners are encouraged to grow and change. You have one life to live -- you should explore it to the fullest! If you want to quit your job and go back to school, your partner should support you. If you want to try something new or go back to something old, you should find support in your relationship. And you should give this support in return. Encourage your partner to explore hobbies and interests and meet new people. If you want your partner to stay the same, you're going to have a very boring life together.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Compromising doesn't mean you're weak.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Compromising doesn't mean "giving in." It doesn't mean that you lost the fight. In fact, it's the opposite. Do you know how hard it is to compromise sometimes? You want your way because it sounds right and makes sense to you. Your partner is way off base with their suggestions. Take a step back and look at the argument diplomatically. What's the logical conclusion? If your partner is right, don't be afraid to say so. Accept their way, or modify both of your solutions to be half and half. The important thing is not getting your way, it's staying in your relationship and helping it grow. Compromising will definitely help your relationship grow.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Admit your weaknesses.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Your partner doesn't expect you to be a superhero, and hopefully you don't expect that of them! We're all human; we all have flaws. It's OK to let these show. In fact, to have a stable, serious relationship, you need to let your weaknesses be known. Your partner will be more sensitive to things that bother you, and can help build you up in areas where you need some help.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">7. Sometimes you can only accept things, not fix them.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />People have baggage. You have some. Your partner has some. Can you go back and erase all of this? Nope! You're stuck with it, and have to learn to deal with it. Some things are easier to get over than others, but the reality is that sometimes, you can't fix things. You can't make problems go away. You have to accept it and get over it and move on, or else your relationship will crumble.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">8. Forgive quickly and truly.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Whenever you have a fight, don't worry about who wins or who loses. Learn from the fight -- from what was said as much as from how it was resolved. Once you learn from a fight, you can apply that lesson to your relationship to avoid trouble later. That's all well and good, but you're not done! Forgive your partner! Forgive yourself. The fight is over, you're past it, now let it go. Never hold anything against your partner, because the resentment will build until you don't want to be with them.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">9. Never expect anything.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Don't expect your partner to read your mind, or to bring you breakfast in bed, or to offer to wash the dishes. It's not going to happen. You can't expect anything from anyone -- you have to make your desires known. Communicate. Make sure your partner knows what you expect from the relationship, as well as your opinions on a wide variety of issues. This will help them act considerate towards you, but still -- don't expect anything!</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">10. Show your feelings.</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The worst thing you can do in a relationship is play games. Don't tease your partner; don't "reward" good deeds with love and affection. You have to make sure your partner always feels loved. You can be happy with them or be mad at them -- it doesn't matter -- they just need to feel loved. They need to know your feelings in the moment as well, don't get me wrong. But make sure you're showing your feelings in a way so they won't be misunderstood (back to #1!).</span></div> <div> <br /></div> </div>

10 Most Important Things to Know about Relationships

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="entry-text" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <h1 class="entry-title" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: small;">By Olga Kachma</span></h1> </div> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">A happy and successful relationship is something that every couple strives for. At the very beginning of our love affair we are generally overwhelmed with passion and excitement and it seems our affection will last forever and nothing can spoil our ideal relations with the one we love. But when we move to the next stage, we face numerous problems like misunderstanding, distrust, jealousy and finally quarrels. All these things may happen if both partners are not experienced enough and their perception of love is rather distorted. In order to be happy together, you and your sweetheart should be aware of certain things that will help you to build a perfect and long lasting relationship. Here are some of the most crucial rules that every couple must always keep in mind.</span><img alt="Important Things You and Your Partner Should Know about Relationship " class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24687" height="334" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Most-Important-Things-about-Relationships.jpg?1f3802" style="border: 0px; display: block; margin: 0px auto; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 9px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="500" /></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1. Communicate Clearly</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Every time you communicate with your significant other, don’t forget to speak your mind clearly. You love each other and there must not be any secrets between the two of you. That is the basic rule you should stick to. Sometimes we don’t express our thoughts and desires, expecting that our partner can guess what we want to say. Unfortunately, they are not able to read our mind, so it is necessary to tell them everything distinctly, without any hints. This way, you will avoid unwanted troubles that may have a negative impact on your relationship.</span></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2. Learn to Forgive Each Other</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">If you plan future with your lover, you should certainly be ready to forgive one another. Otherwise, your happiness will not last for a long time. There are no perfect people in this world and everyone can be mistaken sometimes. Surely, it doesn’t mean you should easily forget all his bad deeds, but you also don’t need to hold your grudge for weeks. Instead try to accept your guy’s wrong behavior and forgive him. Your relations will get much better and you’ll enjoy your intimate feelings to the full.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Read also – <a href="http://en.amerikanki.com/tips-forgive-people/" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">7 Tips on How to Forgive Other People</a></strong></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3. Everyone Has Bad Days</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It’s not a secret that all people can have hard days during which they feel depressed or even angry. So, you must consider this fact in order to prevent stressful situations with your boyfriend. When you see he is nervous, try to find out the reason of his stress and don’t get offended quickly. Perhaps your partner’s emotional state is caused by various problems connected with his job or friends. Sometimes we can wake up in a bad mood. At such moments everybody and everything annoy us. If you have noticed that your guy is irritated, it would be better for you to give him private space and leave him alone for some time. Don’t take it personally.</span></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4. Be Kind to Your Partner</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Kindness is highly appreciated by all people. Undoubtedly, a kind person appears more attractive and pleasant for others. Being kind is necessary to achieve a mutual understanding and harmony with those who surround us. Nowadays our life is very busy and we often forget about kindness and its great power. Actually, you don’t have to spend much time to display your kind attitude to the one you love. In my opinion, kindness is one of the easiest ways to improve any relationship and reach a compromise with a partner. After all, it’s never late to start being kind.</span></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">5. The Value of Commitment</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">There is no true love without commitment. This is the most efficient way to express your feelings to your significant other. You can use hundreds of words to describe your love, however, when you commit to your man, he will see that you are sincere with him and how much he is precious for you. Thus, every couple should realize the importance of commitment in their relationship. It will allow you to rely on your partner whatever happens and that is the key to a long lasting relationship.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Read also – <a href="http://en.amerikanki.com/ways-make-him-fall-love-with-you/" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">8 Best Ways to Make Him Fall in Love with You</a></strong></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">6. Laughing Together is Helpful</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Everybody knows that laughter is enormously beneficial for our health and our mood either. When it comes to our relationship the role of laughter can’t be overestimated. Is there anything more wonderful than the ability of two people who love one another to laugh together? I’m convinced that all couples go through rough times once in a while. Laughing together is a fantastic solution for you whenever you argue with your sweetheart. It will relieve the tension and you’ll feel relaxed.</span></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">7. Not to Quarrel in Front of Others</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Quarrels and disagreements are an indispensable part of every healthy relationship. Therefore, you should expect that sooner or later you’ll be at odds with your partner as it is a common thing. We can hardly imagine a man and a woman whose relations are ideal and who always understand each other. Everything that happens between you and your lover is your own business and you don’t have to demonstrate others your personal life. The less people know about you, the happier you are.</span></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">8. You and Your Partner Can Still Have Friends</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">You shouldn’t exclude yourself from your social circle just to spend time with your sweetheart 24/7. And your partner shouldn’t forget about his friends. You and your partner still have other people who also want to spend time with both of you. You should give one another space to keep your relationship fresh. So make sure you keep up with your family and friends and your partner does the same.</span></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">9. Keep Your Relationship More Private</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">While there’s nothing wrong with posting a few nice pictures here and there on Facebook or Instagram, you and your partner should keep your relationship more private. This means that you shouldn’t post each picture you take. No one wants to see numerous pictures of you kissing each day. Moreover, don’t Tweet about your plans a few times a day. Keeping the relationship more private is the key to a successful relationship.</span></div> <h3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">10. Date nights are essential</span></span></h3> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It’s extremely important to plan at least one date night a month. Choose the restaurant, or prepare a romantic dinner at home, if you are a little short in cash. Date nights are essential in a successful relationship. Make sure your cellphones are off and no one disturbs you.</span></div> <span class="wp-pagenavi" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; clear: both; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px 0px; text-align: right; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /> <div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.235294); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.301961); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 9px; orphans: auto; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"> Once you find your man, you will spare no efforts to build a strong relationship with him. Good relationship is impossible without understanding, trust and respect. Happiness with your sweetheart is the result of hard work and patience. These are the most fundamental rules that every couple is supposed to follow in order to be happy and to feel comfortable together.
