Dos and Don'ts of Courtship

A beautiful wedding is a day; a godly marriage is a lifetime. The difference is decided on the road that leads there.

In Dos and Don'ts of Courtship, Adama Segbedji opens the Scriptures on the season every marriage passes through first. With warmth, honesty and practical wisdom, he walks you through the dos that build and the don'ts that protect: seek God first, court with marriage in view, communicate openly, submit to godly counsel, talk about money, guard your heart. And the warnings that rescue: don't awaken love before its time, don't court in secret, don't ignore red flags, don't confuse attraction with agreement, don't choose charisma over character, don't rush the season.

Walk through the great courtships of the Bible, from the journey to Rebekah to the fields of Ruth and Boaz, and heed the warning of Samson. Learn the battle of the mind, the language of forgiveness, the marks of a keeper, courting across the miles, how to end a courtship honourably if it must end, the engagement season, the ministry of parental blessing, and the meaning of covenant itself. Saturated with Scripture on every page and written for the whole Body of Christ across every culture and denomination, this book closes with sixty guided conversations: fifty for the couple, and ten for the counsellors walking beside them.

Whether your courtship is beginning, deepening or approaching covenant, this book will help you walk the road to marriage God's way, and arrive with His blessing.
