TauAlumna, what you're talking about sounds like what some people are calling courtship. I've seen it done several ways. In one, the 2 sets of parents are involved and one set goes to the other and asks permission for their child to become involved in a relationship with the goal of marriage to the other. This bothers me and I don't know how much choice their children have--or think they have. I hear that many American and Canadian homeschooling families pursue this.
The other form is done by the young people themselves...I've seen it undertaken by several college-aged couples. They don't really date anyone until they meet someone they're interested in pursuing marriage with and then they date with marriage in mind from the very start.
