Next to your decision to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, and next to your resolution to crown Him the Lord of your life, comes the vital question of whom you shall marry. A wrong choice here can tragically wreck your entire life. On the other hand, the right choice here can promise that your future years will be a bit of heaven on earth.

There is perhaps nothing more normal and more natural than for young people of the opposite sex to be attracted to each other.

Boys and girls have a God-given built-in attraction for each other. Girls, for example, should never be ashamed of their desire for a husband and home and children. Marriage is a natural and God-blessed experience, and therefore we want to think through a program of courtship that will bring about a happy marriage.
