Ancient Courtship- Courting in general terms means to seek love in another with marriage in mind. This was a time when arranged marriages were the norm for most people. At then, the marriageable age of 13-15 years of age discussing wedding plans was the common reality. During this era of arranged marriages, it was handled as a family business proposition, and the beneficial affect between the joining of two families would be of high priority to discuss before the bride and groom tied the knot.
Victorian Formality (1837-1901)- During this time more men and women devoted time and money to dating, thanks to the Industrial Revolution, it provided people with extra spare time on their hands for leisure activities. But in this era dating was so formal , it wouldn’t have been considered appropriate for a man to simply walk up to a woman he was interested in and speak, instead they would have already had to have been formally introduced and if interest arose the gentleman would present his card to her….lol boy have things changed. With the blessing their comes a curse, excess spare time and increased knowledge allowed for the truth to be twisted, and the results for misdirected dating is the outcome.
21st Century- Life now is defined by luxury and the time to make choices. Young men and women have the opportunities to make substantial amounts of money before marriage, and have the lovely assets that come along with it. The common lifestyle and role of male and female have changed greatly over the centuries and it affects the dating/courting process. The undeniable freedom to engage in promiscuous activities due to adolescents surging hormones threatens the moral values which are left in our society. In this new day in age we lost order and self control and the future of ever finding true love can be ruined.
