Why so serious!

I know that for some people using the term courtship or mentioning the possibility of marriage feels like too much pressure, too soon. For these people its important to note that even though courtship has serious intent, it can be low pressure and casual when it begins..

I guess it really depends on the people involved or who are planning to be involved. They have different ways on looking at relationships. It can be all sweet and nice, as if floating on cloud nine which some people refer to. A relationship can also be this test in which a person, if not the couple, can determine each other's capacity when it comes to responsibilities of a person in a relationship. Perhaps others are serious due to past experiences if not trying to avoid any pitfalls that relationships can get into, which ironically falls for that reason as well. Then again, a relationship's theme, if it may have themes, depends on the couple. If they really want to have fun, I guess their relationship would be mostly about having fun. If its career oriented, one would give in for the other's success? Relationships are good basis for those who have some inclinations towards marriage.

Indeed. Simply following one's emotions may seem enticing yet embracing ignorance can pretty much guarantee problems within the relationship. Not all relationships are made in heaven where things seems to be so perfect and destined to be so. Some relationships don't really work out due to the absence of different things, but even with things that are missing, a couple that is really determined would get over such troubles if they really do want to.

that's it and the skillful romance I've been talking about doesn't disdain or rule out emotions and passion. But it does call us to make sure that these feelings are flowing from reality. We want the true character of someone to win our heart, we want our emotions to respond to who they really are and to the true status of the relationship...cheers!

and the problems we see in relationship today is the impatience, the lack of purpose, and the misguided emotions. All are expressions of foolishness. We need wisdom and wisdom complements to grow relationship in a well manner..:)

Some people are not serious in relation so they are over serious when the possibility of marriage comes. Marriage is a life long relation with responsibility. And some people does not confident on the ability to take the responsibility. They are doubtful on their capacity .

Hi Aaleexix! yeah I agree but before saying "I do" couples should be more practical in dealing responsibilities to grow. Indeed many people are unhappily married because they failed, they got caught up in the excitement of the moment and ignored reality.
