Deeper Life Ministry Abolishes Six-Month Courtship Rule, Allows Visits Before Marriage
Pastor William Kumuyi of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry announced significant changes to the church's marriage regulations during the 2025 Global Family Marriage Conference. Kumuyi abolished the mandatory six-month courtship period, emphasizing that it was an administrative guideline rather than a divine commandment.
The reforms also allow women to visit men they intend to marry, accompanied by an elder, and provide flexibility in the courtship timeline based on practical realities. Kumuyi highlighted the need for couples to have sufficient time to know each other, aligning the guidelines with biblical principles while adapting to contemporary circumstances.
