Real Committment
There is no courtship without intentionality and commitment. If you are not ready to truly commit to a lasting relationship, you are not ready to court. While in dating, a person may string you along for years with empty promises and no assurance, courtship requires true commitment from each person. Commitment in courtship is your dedication, faithfulness, and loyalty to the decision that you have made to the other person.
More Security
Proper courtship fortifies trust, relieves insecurities, and focuses attention on serving each other. Courtship stands guard over the relationship and protects the heart and the vulnerabilities of your mate. The security creates a safe environment through consistency which allows the couple to genuinely get to know one another.
Accountability
Accountability is the obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for one’s actions. For accountability in a relationship to work, both partners must be vulnerable, honest, trusting, and transparent. In courtship, there are two forms of accountability, external and internal. External: This is typically established between close friends, mentors, or spiritual leaders. Internal: This is the most important accountability relationship to establish between the courting couple.

Testimonials
Rickey Macklin taught on Courtship vs. Dating…..WOW!!!!! All I can say is Randolph Potter I love you soooo much! You did NOT date me, you COURTED me, cultivated & built a friendship w/me, you sought to marry me instead of casually date me, you found value and purpose in who I was and developed a vision for our future. You did not rush me to the altar. I was NOT a sexual object for you but a gift from God that you waited for until marriage. Thank you Rickey Macklin for your ministry. EVERY SINGLE PERSON NEEDS TO HEAR THIS!
We both agreed to take to the Courtship vs. Dating class to gain greater insight on the courtship process before getting married. Even though we both knew we were for each other, the class taught us what was required of both the man and the woman. As a result of the class, we both agreed to separate ourselves for a time to fast and pray for clarity from God. In 2015, we will be celebrating 8yrs of marriage. The Courtship vs. Dating classes is a must for all Christian singles and Christian couples who are seeking biblical principles to follow in a godly relationship.Recent Blog Posts
LET EM’ COURT YOU DOWN
Your harvest has come, so mere dating is off the list because courting is being served now. That’s right you’re doing this with a plan and purpose behind it that is much greater than ourselves. You’re glowing ladies and not from your makeup. Men you are shinning too and it’s not a filter. it’s from time being spent with God. An inside job. You now know exactly who you are.
ARE YOU TIRED OF COUNTING PARTNERS?
God is not going to bend his word to cater to your chaos. Whatever you are craving needs to be matched up against God’s word and principles. Lack of intimacy with God and ignorance of the word of God is a sure way to end up in a dead-end relationship.
Being Content In Your Singleness
We have to get to a place in God where we are so full in him that he is all that we are longing for and need. Yes, it is true that He knows the desires of our hearts and wants to fulfill them. But are you patient enough to wait for that which he wants to give?
