So I'm looking for some information (books, websites, etc) on courtship from a Catholic perspective. Any ideas? It's rather important. :blush: ;)

This is scary...I was reading about courtship literally about 10 mins ago.

I don't know about courtship specifically but there is this book I have called If You Really Loved Me and it is pretty good. You should pick it up.

Steve Wood has an interesting take on it in his [url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0965858243/sr=8-2/qid=1154837149/ref=pd_bbs_2/102-4578928-9656909?ie=UTF8"]ABC's of Choosing a Good Husband: How to Find and Marry a Great Guy[/url]. You might check that out.

"Arms of Love" is a fictional novel by Carmen Marcoux, but an excellent source to learn about courtship. It follows the life of a 22-year-old Catholic woman and a 26-year-old converting man who enter into a beautiful courtship and ultimately choose marriage.

Not by a Catholic Author, but "Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship" is very good. It's by the same man (name escapes me) who wrote "I Kissed Dating Good-bye."

Thats what I was going to suggest too! I'm in the middle of it, so I didn't read that far to the end, so I didnt know that it ended that way. :rolleyes:

Yes! And there is one for men as well (about choosing a wife).

The Philippines is really big on courtship. (btw the country is 84% Catholic)

i understand the concept of courtship but i guess i'm "Amaericanized" in terms of relationships.

i've never courted. i don't know.

can't really give you an answer to your question.
