What is your understanding about the word courtship?

Courtship is a process when two parties, a male and a female decides to go into a romantic relationship for the purpose of getting married and spending their life time together.

How can people in courtship maintain a good relationship that can lead to marriage?

The word courtship sometimes is use interchangeably with dating but courtship is not dating. You can be dating someone with no intention of getting married to that person but the sole reason for courtship is marriage.

Maintaining a good relationship is all about building a good level of communication and knowing how to tolerate and love people in their weaknesses.

Both parties should first of all understand that nobody is perfect and that everyone has their flaws. There should be total honesty between both parties and both of them should learn to be vulnerable to each other without loosing value for each other. Building a good communication level too is very important in maintaining a good relationship.

There's no relationship that strives on the basis of assumptions. You don't assume that someone is suppose to know something without you first telling the person because both of you was not trained the same way.

Are there things to be hidden during courtship? If yes what are they. If No back your answers with your reasons.

It is a beautiful thing when you met someone that you will love to spend the rest of your life with. Before getting into courtship you should know the qualities you're looking for in a spouse and when you see those qualities in that person i believe there should be total honesty.

You want to spend the rest of you're life with this person right? So what's the need to keep things from them? be honest with the person, keeping something hidden is you saying you don't trust the person and if you are not willing to build trust with that person so what is the essence of your courting?

Do you think there's time frame in courtship? Explain.

I believe there should be a time frame in courting someone. I personally believe that courtship should not be for more than a year except there's that was an issue that caused some delays. You cannot know a person completely when courting, even in friendship you get to see different aspect of a friend over time, so there's no need to court for a very long period of time , you cannot know a person completely in courting.

Is courtship a guarantee for successful marriage.

Courtship cannot guarantee a person success in marriage. One of the things that guarantees success in marriage is a good level of communication and you're ability to tolerate. If these things are not in place a marriage can crash. Courtship while it is good will not guarantee a success marriage. It is the deliberate actions taking by both parties to make it work even after courtship that will sustain the marriage.
