When is the best time to begin courtship?
There is no hard and fast rule about when to begin to court. Some people are 27 and still have the mind of an 18 year old. Others are 20 but already operate like 35.
The thing to do is not to deceive yourself or to use someone else's life to
determine what you do. Also, you may ask yourself, "Do I miss a
partner--someone to share with, think alongside with, decide with? Someone
who can tell me the cold truth and yet I know it is in my interest? Someone before whom my whole life can be laid bare yet I do not feel ashamed or threatened?
I learnt this from Dr. Kenneth Hagin: It is not good either to be too slow or to be too fast. Nevertheless, of the two bad cases, being slow is the better. Agree
I fell in love with a close friend and I told him my feelings. After a few months, he went ahead and proposed to me. But then, soon after his proposal I began to see in my dream that this man is in love with another friend of mine. And when I told him this, he said, that is not true. But I kept seeing these things. What do I do?
This takes us back to what I've always said. You're a lady, you fell in love with a man and you went and told the man, "See, I've fallen in love with you" Oh dear, the chap just hooks into it and proposes. I've said this many times and you can agree with me, if you have fallen in love with a man, try your best to conceal it. It is not very easy for a woman to conceal things, so you must struggle to make sure you don't fall in love with somebody and the person gets to know, he will take advantage of that situation. This is what this person now seems to have done here. As a lady, a man can see that you are in love with him, he then formalizes it by proposing, then goes ahead to have an affair with some other person. I will advice you to just get out of that whole relationship, just forget about it, live your life normally and let somebody fall in love with you and propose to you rather than you falling in love and go and tell the person. It's not good for a lady to do that, a man may take advantage of it as seems to me, this person is doing here.
As a Christian, can I have a boyfriend at age 20? if yes, what should be my conduct and if no, when the should I have one?
Personally, I don't quite like the terminology boyfriend when it comes to Christians I don't really like that terminology because, of what it has meant over the years or what it has represented really but, if you are talking about having some intend to marry, not somebody you play around with for a while and change again, and play around for a while and change yet again if somebody you want to get married to, that's the language we Christians use you see, there is nothing wrong in having such a person at the age to twenty only that you prayerfully go about it, make sure you have a proper guide in your church leadership or fellowship leadership as the case may be, your conduct I'm going to have to given you a seminar to describe your conduct but I will simply say here that you try to conduct yourself as you find in the bible and in the word of God. Praise God!.
