Courtship to Marriage

In The family: A Proclamation for the World it talks about how men should provide, preside and protect. This not only goes for your husband but should apply to the guy that is courting you. The male should provide for the date which refers to being able to pay for things in life. Paying for dates helps with providing as a future husband because it shows how well they are at budgeting, as well as showing that they can have fun while being cheap but occasionally expensive. The second characteristic is to preside. To preside is that same as planning. This shows how good they are at leadership and shows that if they will be able to take a lead in the family structure. The last one is to protect. This leads as the paired off which means knowing who you are with for that group date. This is important because it shows if he will take responsibility for you as well as you taking responsibility for him. We need to help each other out and keep each other out of trouble.
