This can, however, easily expose the partners to s£xual temptations and thus break the divine constitution “touch not, fast not and handle not” Colossians 2:21. Besides, human beings can pretend and hide true identities until after the real marriage. To save the intending couple, therefore , a minimum period if six months and maximum of one year is recommended or advisable

[b]oga stop this epistle. marriage is a non essential tin as far as heaven is called concern. u can see God without marriage but u can't see him without salvation. intact the unmarried prophets were more effective than married ones. the likes of Elijah, Elisha, Paul, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, etc.
courtship period is a personal conviction of some pastors bible never said anytin abt that. or can u tell us the courtship duration of Joseph and marry the mother of Jesus. dat of Jacob lasted for 14years etc.
and besides, never say premarital sex destroys marriage again if u cant show us a reference to that. I'm sure no where its written in the bible. I agree that premarital sex is sin but its not tantamount to destruction of marriage.
in fact in some rear cases in the bible it is allowed only on the condition that u mist marry the lady. check this out: Deuteronomy 22:28-29 KJV
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; [29] Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. another one is
1 Corinthians 7:36-37 KJV
But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. [37] Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
