Founder of Grace Mountain Ministry and the Alpha Hour Prayer Ministry, Rev. Elvis Agyemang, has stated that potential suitors should consider dating multiple partners to have more options when selecting a serious partner for courtship.

He explained that the ‘girlfriend and boyfriend’ stage should not be exclusive but rather a period for building friendship and assessing compatibility.

According to Rev. Agyemang, exclusivity should only come into play during courtship, which is a more serious commitment after the initial dating phase.

“If it's not courtship, you can have three boyfriends. You can have three girlfriends or five girlfriends. That is why it's called friends. Provided it is running on the essence of friendship.

“When it gets to a point, you will choose one and give him or her the privilege of selecting them out of many and be serious. At that point, you are about to step into courtship but relationship is for many,” he stated.

He also stated that the concept of cheating does not apply to relationships that are not yet courtships.

“The word cheating must not be in ‘boyfriend and girlfriendship’. The moment unnecessary privileges were added, that’s when people started to feel cheated on,” he maintained.

Rev. Agyemang’s remarks have since sparked significant debate online, with many critics accusing him of promoting infidelity and promiscuity in relationships.
