Christian Dating Tips That Work

It seems like no matter where you turn, people are talking about the m word: that’s right, marriage. Marriage is the most sacred union between a man and a woman and it seems that everyone wants to be in one. That being said, it’s no wonder why dating sites like eharmony.com and JDate.com are constantly trying to find you the perfect match.

Marriage is a very serious institution and should not be entered into lightly. Dating is an important of the marriage process that gives individuals the opportunity to discover if they have found the person with whom they should enter into this sacred covenant with God. So here are some Christian dating tips to help you find the right mate.

  1. Spend some time alone. That’s right! It’s hard to know who you need to be with or what you need in a person if you don’t know who you are by yourself. In spending quite time alone with yourself, you will truly discover the person you are, you will be able to define the person you want to be, and you will be better able to determine the qualities that you need in another person to coincide with who you are and help you to become who you want to be.
  2. Make a list and check it twice. You should make a list of the qualities that you want in your spouse. Of course, God should top that list so determine the kind of relationship with God you want your future spouse to have; define where on the spiritual journey you need your partner to be. There is nothing worse than dating someone who is in a far off place on their spiritual journey from you. Have you ever heard of equally yoked?
  3. Begin your search. Now that you know who you are and what you want, you can go forth and get it. If you are a man, then you need to seek out your future wife. Position yourself in places to find potential mates; and when you see one you may be interested in, ask her out.  If you are a woman, remember that you need to be pursued. Remember that “a man who finds a wife finds a good thing” so let the man find and pursue your. However, you also need to make sure that you are positioning yourself to be found. That means, don’t spend all your time at home or with your girl friends. Visit a Wolf Camera Store or a Ritz Camera Store where men are likely to be found purchasing gadgets.
  4. Finally, once you start dating someone, remember your criteria. The list you made is now going to be important. If a person doesn’t meet the criteria that you have lain out, then move on to the next; that person was not right for you. If a person does meet your criteria, then it may be time to put a ring on it!
