A. Things to DO
1. Be willing and teachable; seek parental
guidance and advice from your church leaders (i.e. priest, pastors, elders and
deacons). Freely interact with godly married couples and observe their
Christian marriage lifestyle and family life.
2. Ask good questions about each other’s
convictions, values, aspirations and other pertinent matters to prepare you for
marriage.
3. Learn more of each other in areas of
communication, spiritual convictions, working life, church ministry and family
background.
4. Pray often for loved ones and the
church. Consider going on organized
mission trips with other Christians to grow and serve together in the Lord’s
work.
5. Attend regular Bible study together. Share what you have learnt from the Lord in
your personal devotions, reading of Christian books or etc.
6. Learn to understand each other's personal
likes, differences and preferences. Be clear about the character and interests
of him/her.
7. Serve God together in church (e.g. choir,
prayer meetings, home-based Bible study groups, etc.) in preparation to serve
God as a married couple one day. Learn
to complement each other as a ministry team.
8. Equip yourselves with adequate understanding
of Christian courtship & marriage through reading the Bible and other
wholesome Christian literature.
9. Be willing to relate and fellowship with
others in group setting; bearing in mind that you are to set a positive example
as a Christian courting couple.
10. Exercise
self-control (Gal 5:22, 23) in your passion towards each other; be determined
to keep yourselves pure for marriage (Heb 13:4).
11. Meet the siblings and parents of the other
side in due time and have a strong and vibrant relationship with them as well.
