It used to be that courting was the way two people got married. Parents would arrange a courtship when their children were young, and both families knew that the children would get married in the future. The families stayed close, and the children respected their parents' wishes. But today, families have nothing to do with the process of marriage. For example, any two people can go on a date, and at the end of the date, decide if they want to date again. They may or may not get married, and very few check with their parents to see what they think. A. courtship is a good way to get married
B. dating doesn't involve family
C. families used to have a more important role in marriage
D. dating might lead to marriage ​
