Courtship: Maintaining Healthy Relationships
How do you maintain healthy relationships with the opposite gender? By maintaining vibrant social networks, built on shared missions, shared commitments to God, shared interests, and shared service. Relationships that focus growth in character and Godliness – Heb 10:24-25
Where problems begin is when there is a distinction and segregation, as one “couple” distinguishes themselves from all others and looses strength and support of that network by focusing on each other rather than maintaining a focus on God and others. It becomes a relationship that provides the benefits of a romantic relationship without the boundaries of a defined covenantal relationship.
