Who Took the Courtship Out of Dating for Marriage?

From the mail bag today. Let's take a look at what it's saying.

When we are dating, we are trying to return many of these behaviors, because they worked. In fact, we might add there,

Who took the courtship out of dating for marriage??

The blog is about seniors, but we could just say

"WHO TOOK ..."

The melody out of music,
The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education,
The service out of patriotism,
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The nativity scene out of cities,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
The ambition out of achievement, or,
God out of government and school.

And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!!

Dating Coach

I know how it is -- you've been looking for ages, had some dates that didn't work out, and some dates that really didn't work out ... and suddenly he/she appears. You are so excited!

But remember, everyone's got 'nerves' ...

From the emailbag:

Sultan writes: "I knew she the one for me. So I didn't call a
lot. I wanted to slow the pace."

Merita writes: It's like I wanted to always save something for next
time. I took it easy and honest to gosh, it really worked out."

Pacing is everything. Nancy Fenn wrote that Gabriel Garcia Marquez quotes Simon Bolivar as saying, “There is no mistake in courtship which can be made up for.”

So take it slow, get some coaching, and keep the faith! They're looking for you just as hard as you are looking for them.
