Statistiek in VSA,UK,SA • Egskeiding syfer 51% • 50 jaar terug was egskeiding taboe • Die egskeiding syfer is basies identies tussen Christene en nie-gelowiges • Patroon van “Dating Relationships”

Gen 1:26-28 (28) Toe het God hulle geseën en vir hulle gesê: “Wees vrugbaar, word baie, bewoon die aarde en bewerk dit. Heers oor die vis in die see, oor die voëls in die lug, oor al die diere van die aarde, ook oor die diere wat op die aarde kruip.”

Courtship • The possibility of marriage is at question. • You want to get to know the person on a more intimate level. • There is a higher level of commitment. • It’s romantic. • Courting is a means to an end. • It’s about seeing if you’re compatible for marriage.
