Some people say it can't work in today's society, but that is not true. Courtship is a Biblical principal approved of by our Lord (Mat. 19:5) and the Bible is relevant for all peoples for all times.
I think the real problem with courtship is getting the youth on board with the idea. When they are for it, then it is easy to implement, even if all the elements are not implemented, such as Christian parents, etc. I have seen varied forms of courtship work, where there were no parents or where the parent were not Christian.
Here in El Salvador there is a huge difference. The youth outside of church are very promiscuous, but inside the church there are lots of courtship principles. Even couples that have been engage for over 5 years never permit themselves to be alone with each other. Often, they choose not to even sit together in church, but choose to sit with parents or friends. It is really a blessing to see.
It really comes down to accountability and avoiding temptation. What could be wrong with that?
Thanks again, I really appreciate this kind of information.
Blessings in Christ,
ElBob
