On the topic of “Courtship and Dating” what we should do
With a reference to a seventy five year study he did start
For happiness, meaningful relationships are a key part
There are no specific bible verses on dating or courtship
But there are still guidelines to help everyone on this trip
“Do unto others…” is Jesus’ exhortation in Matthew seven
That summarises all the Old Testament laws from heaven
For when our relationship was broken with God above
We needed laws guiding us in the absence of pure love
But now the Holy Spirit tells us how best to approach
Relationships in a manner which is above all reproach
First Timothy chapter five says not to rebuke others
“With absolute purity” treat brothers, sisters, mothers
In Mark chapter ten to God’s words Jesus did refer
Two wholes, not halves, become one, we can infer
We should not look to another person to fill a gap
Only God can complete us, anything else is a trap
This is repeated in Colossians chapter number two
We “have been given fullness in Christ” in all we do
Being happy and complete with God is a precondition
Before moving on to marriage, per Josh’s admonition
From First Corinthians six comes additional sage advice
Do not be yoked with unbelievers even if they are nice
Two cannot walk together, per Amos chapter three
Unless in terms of what to do, they both do agree
If both are following Jesus in their walks individually
Then much easier their joint walk will of course be
Per Ephesians five, we should imitate God above
Beware life’s impurities and always walk in love
Meditating on things pure, per Philippians four
Ensures the God of peace will us never ignore
