Description

In a world where the modern dating system leads young people down a path of emotional detachment and fleeting relationships, Douglas Wilson offers a bold and refreshing alternative. He contends that the traditional dating model encourages shallow connections, devoid of covenantal commitment, and undermines the father's authority. This lack of respect for fathers mirrors the disrespect fathers often have for their own role.

Enter the concept of biblical courtship, a framework that brings a liberating sense of purpose to relationships. It is founded on familial wisdom and divine protection, firmly grounded in the father's authority. Courtship celebrates its connection to family life, inviting transparency and accountability. Within this framework, sexual purity becomes a cherished inheritance for a future marriage, a treasure guarded and preserved by a father.

This book is part of Douglas Wilson's series on the family, designed to assist those grappling with the real-life challenges of living under one roof. While it doesn't prescribe a one-size-fits-all formula for perfect marriages, it serves as a poignant reminder that the wisdom of the elder generation should guide us before embarking on the journey of marriage, a decision that carries lifelong consequences.
