how many girlfriends did you have before you got married?

The limit should not exist, getting to know somebody can also mean that you learn what you don't want too. most of the time you can find, that you want to be with someone; then only find that you don't six months later. So why the shame in letting that go. Nobody wants to marry multiple times to you have the right to be picky and have standards but also open up share experiences with people. Formal courtship should be entered with caution, casual dating does not mean you're a player. It means that you are testing for chemistry and things in common (not lust). I have nothing against arranged marriage, it still means you have to essentially date and get to know the person anyways. wishing you love and adventure!

Courtship is usually used for those reading for marriage to get to know each other better. While some people say when they met it was love at first sight that's not the way it is for most relationships. Personally I believe you should do some dating first of several girls so you can see what personalities you could live with and what ones drive you nutty. With my first marriage I had dated no one else and after a year I knew I had made a bit mistake but tried to make it work for six more years. With my second marriage I had dated a little first and we've been married over thirty years now.

I had a lot of boyfriends in High School but none were serious relationships,
