Dating or courting, I don't see why another man should have to woo the family--'cuz you are doing them a favor taking a possibly explosive and irrational creature out of their house. I don't see why a man should have to woo the woman either--unless women are happy slaving away at the career wheel and hitting 40 with a womb as empty as our Savior's Tomb...
I say: arranged marriage and a dowry or no way!
You have me in stiches out here. Please continue. You have made my day. God is good.
