Do you agree that long courtship help makes a relationship last longer?

No, relationship isn't suppose to base on whether you have a short or long coutship periods. It depends on how well both of you get to know each other. Sometimes, long courtship tends to make both sides impatient and easily bored.

personally speaking.. i don't believe in long courtship.. coz there's no bad guys in courting.. am i right or am i right!? but if we're talking about getting to know each other.. it may help a lot.. but all you can see on them is the good side.. and the bad side of these people will reamin hidden.. it may be better if one is in the stage of courting.. try not to hide things between each other.. coz its building foundation to a sooner or later relationship.. right? so shorter or longer courtship it may be.. as long as you both really know each other.. the realstionship will also sustain..^^

i dont agree with this. most guys show their best side during courtship but when they are in the relationship they sometimes change. the time spent in courtships has nothing to do with how the relationship will work. it might even be tha cause of some misunderstandings as it become a basis of comparison. "during our courtship you are like this and that but now you have change a lot."

there's NO ASSURANCE. some reached the 10th year but they tend to be cold to each other in the latter part of courtship. the BEST FOUNDATION of a LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIP is the FRIENDSHIP. start as friends before falling in love. thru friendship you will know his true colors.

Not necessarily. I guess some people would say that it'll specailly on the guys' pov since they worked hard to earn the love of the women they courted. But for me I think a lot of people only show their best side during courtship and it is only when they are already in the relationship that the real getting to know part will begin and that will ultimately decide whether a relationship will last or not.

Well I guess so. The more time you spend together the more you know yourselves. You could adjust to your differences and enjoy on things that you both agree of. I almost courted my ex-girlfriend a couple of months before she actually said (not officially) "YES." But to some people, there would be situations like they have known each other for a long time, and they get along very well. It works out for them though they have a short period of courting.

No I don't agree. Sometimes a long courtship just means that the couple is too afraid to marry each other because they aren't sure if they are with the right person. My husband and I married after 11 months of dating.

it doesn't matter if there will be a long courtship or not, honestly me, no courtship happened between my husband and me, we are friends for 2 months and then we go out once, he hold my hands and that's it, i feel the magic, so we became us, after 4 years we get married . . . why wait long? if you like the guy?
