The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS for short, but more widely known as 'Mormons')

In regards to dating, I was living in Provo, UT at the time, which over emphasized the dating aspect - I'm not sure how emphasized the dating aspect is outside of the U.S. / Angelo Saxon culture areas.

What I find rather interesting though is that despite placing more importance and weight on marriage, we tend to go through the courtship process faster (under a year is not uncommon).

That makes sense. Once a couple finds that their world view, values, and personalities are compatible, there is little else to evaluate.
