Heidi on Courtship:

Since members of both sexes may so fraudulently misrepresent themselves - both to the eyes of others and even that of their own - is there not a certain virtue in facing ourselves and our own inadequacies before seeking a refuge or a diversion from them in the excitement of romance? After all we must learn to walk without the aid of a prop or a crutch before we can hope to be a suitable companion on life's pilgrimage. Or to put it in other words we must acquire a knowledge of ourselves before we can really hope to either know someone else or show someone else our own depths. Therefore I raise my glass to courtship but must look distastefully down on the compulsive addicts of repetitive relationships.

Heidi, very succinctly put. I see you are also a believer in the maxim, "Scito te ipsum" so beloved by St. Bernard and Peter Abelard among others.

"Men are wont to fraudulently misrepresent themselves in order to better woo those whom they desire..."
 
3- Neil Patterson

"Therefore, I am curious as to whether you have a reciprocal disposition regarding point three.  If so, I can see no reason why we should not get married..."
4- Christina Attard

"'He who marries does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better.' (1 Corinthians 7.38) There is nothing more miserable in life than to dwell upon a religious vocation that never was and never will be once the ring is upon the finger..."
