Courting vs Dating -so excited for Jessa Duggar- @revellkatiti you will love this-

I have absolutely loved following the DUGGAR family over the years.  So many say-- they are crazy-- then there are those that say it would never be me.  Well I can probably agree that it would never be me, but God didn't call me to do it-- He called them to do it.  I love that they are SELF SUFFICIENT-- depend on themselves to pay bills-- require the family to work as a unit and home school the children.  The 19+ children isn't for everyone, but it works for THEM.  They don't require the government to pay for their housing, their bills, the schooling or raising of their children-- that in itself in 2013 says alot-- they do it OLD SCHOOL!!!! Bible School--  

I was just super excited to see that Babygirl #3 is COURTING and not dating-- look at the difference. So what are the differences between courtship and dating?

Jim Bob explains: "Courting is getting to know each other in a group setting, both families spending time together and the couple setting goals together to determine if they are meant to marry. With dating, a couple will often pair off alone and that sometimes leads to a more physical relationship."

Jessa and Ben met in church, Jim Bob says, and then asked to correspond via text and on the phone. The Duggars agreed – and were kept in the conversation as the couple texted each other, mostly asking each other questions about theology and scripture.

"Jessa has a very steady personality," says Michelle. "It has been interesting to watch their interactions because for her personality type, they share very similar beliefs. It has been fun to watch them and both of our phones are going off back and forth, ping, ping, ping."

"Courtship is not just about having fun," she continues. "You are really considering if this person could be your life partner – you pray about it and see what happens."

Though other men have approached Jim Bob to ask if they could begin a relationship with Jessa – as well as his other older daughters – Jim Bob says that Ben is the first to make the cut.

"He's the first one she has shown interest in that has a spiritual focus and legitimate calling about ministry work," he says. "When a guy is pursing your daughter, you want to check him out and see if there are any red flags and with Ben, there hasn't been. He is very sharp. It appears like a match made in heaven."-- from +PEOPLE http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20735445,00.html
