This is the question. This is a companion. One who is kindred in soul with us. Who is already united to us by the ties of spiritual harmony. The union is the object of the courtship to discover.
Courtship then is a voyage of discovery.
A court of inquiry, established by mutual consent of the parties. To see in and to what extent there is harmony existing. If in all these they honestly agree and find a deep and thrilling pleasure in their agreement. If they find their union gives a charm to their social relations. If now they feel that their hearts are bound as well as their sentiments in a holy unity.
