This post is the continuation of the story of Emmitt and Anne. The last story I told was about how they loved to pal around.

Now pal around time was good, but Emmitt and Anne eventually realized people would not believe them any more. So they decided to call each other best friends. Well that went great until they went to a land far, far away to watch some gypsy ballers. They both realized on that trip that they meant much more to each other than just “friends” or “pal’s” or “best friends”. At one point in their relationship they were all of those things, but then things got a little different. They realized they wanted to spend more time together, and with each other’s family. They wanted to be closer. They were not really in search of any one to hang out with except for each other.

Their individual walks with the gypsy god were great. They loved to pray together. They saw many miracles through their prayers. There were dreams and visions that were told about Emmitt and Anne that confirmed their desire to be together.

In the gypsy world the next step from best friends is dating just like in our normal world. Emmitt and Anne did not want everyone thinking that they were just like everyone else in the world that dated. They wanted purpose in their relationship and they wanted to keep everything in the light. So they decided to date, and realized it does not matter what the world thinks because they know what they are about and they are about keeping God first.

In a way they are pursuing a courtship. This is the wikipedia definition of courting.

The courtship is a period of time where the couple build a strong friendship along with the romantic relationship resulting in a strong, non-sexual intimacy between the two. The hope is to set a strong foundation (along with a true faith in God) for a life-long marriage. It is not a chaperoned time, although many may believe it to be.
