Courtship is the traditional dating period before engagement and marriage (or long term commitment if marriage is not allowed). Courting includes activities such as dating where couples or groups go together for some activity (e.g., a meal or movie).

What is the importance of dating courtship?

The very purpose of courtship is to understand what romance and commitment looks like with another person. It is continually looking for ways to express affection and gain the affection of another, to give your partner attention and gain their attention in return, to attract another and merit attraction.
