Courtship Stories

Index of Courtship Stories
written by the Author of Romance, our Lord Jesus Christ

Definition of Courtship from Webster's 1828 Dictionary:
the act of wooing in love, soliciting a woman to marriage

This index of courtship stories on the web is here for your encouragement....to remind you that God has written many wonderful love stories, and is in the process of writing yours as well if you'll only let Him! "The course of true love never did run smooth," said Shakespeare, but usually the rough details get left in order to paint a more romantic picture, and we are left with a "fairy tale" to emulate. But there are no perfect people, so there can be no "perfect" love stories--each has its own set of trials and triumphs.

If you're married, may you find these stories a blessing--and perhaps you'd consider sharing your own love story with us? If you're single, don't read these stories and feel sorry for yourself in your single status. Read these stories and feel blessed and thankful that you are the chosen child of the Author of Romance! And "give Him the pen" in your life!

"True love stories never have endings."
-Richard Bach

"They had begun to read together a book greater than Dickens ever wrote, and when they had come to the fairest part of the sweet story Adam first told Eve, they looked for the name upon the title-page, and found that it was 'Love.'"

-Debby's Debut, by Louisa May Alcott

"To be honest, my heart has grown a little impatient with the 'perfect' courtship stories, and although I am glad for those couples, it is hard because the message I receive from so many of them, whether they intentionally try to give that message or not, is that if you follow God's plan, your courtship and marriage will be 'perfect'. But I do not see that in the Bible...
God promises good, which I believe sometimes includes trials and pain, to those who love Him... His desire is His glory, and I see His glory in the broken lives and hearts He holds in His hands... broken so that His love may pour through."
-Elizabeth (Lorenz) Jackson
