There are many different opinions and absolute methods being presented these days as to what "courtship" and "betrothal" should be, what is acceptable behavior during courtship and so on.  Here we will examine what the Bible says. If our opinions or methods do not match the Bible, then we need to change our opinions and methods. The Scripture remains true.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect,
throughly furnished unto all good works.  

This includes how to find a wife/husband, how to go about "courtship,"
how you should behave and how both families should behave in the Lord.
