Finding
Someone Christian to Marry
How do I find the right
Christian person for Marriage?
Well, marriage is pretty much one of the most important
choices you will ever have to make in your life. It could
mean the difference between having a happy marriage or
an unhappy marriage. It will also undoubtedly affect the
lives, hopes, dreams and careers of your children - if
you were to have any.
Not everyone will be helped by the same set of rules
as we are all different and need different guidlines -
God thankfully deals with us accordingly. Here's our help
and advice on finding the right Christian person to marry:
- Find someone who is honest, helpful and caring -
quite hard to find these days but there are a lot of
good people out there:)
(Genesis 24:17-22).
- Look for a Christian wife or Christian husband that
suits your temperament and personality. If you are a
Christian, do not marry a womwn or man who is not Christian.
This may cause you big problems later down the line
- be aware of this.
See 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 and Genesis
24:3-4.
- Trust God that He will show you who a good match would
be (alikes are not always the perfect match remember
so keep an open mind)
(see Genesis 24:7).
- Where it is possible try to find someone who hasn't
slept with other girls or men. Keep yourself from this
kind of lifestyle - it will come back to cause problems
later in life.
(1 Thessalonians 4:38).
- Want to know where to find the right kind of partner?...
The Bible says you should be like a fisherman!!! "When
a fisherman wants to catch fish, he goes where the fish
are, the river, lake or sea". If you want to find
a Christian partner, go to church, local singles events,
Christian singles websites or youth groups where Christian
people meet regularly. Don't expect to meet people if
you are in the house and your door is shut!!!
Try reading Genesis verse 24 through for some great guidelines
on marriage and finding a partner. It tells the story
of someone looking for a marriage bride for a man.
God has promised to lead us if we follow Him (Psalm 37:47).
Pray that God will guide you and follow the above guidelines
and you can be sure God will lead you to a suitable person
- the right person fot you. If you both love and respect
each other, you will know that God has guided you. It's
not always plain sailing to get to that place though so
be patient. Some people know right away who they will
marry but others don't. As far as age goes, wait til after
20 at least for marriage these days as most take until
their early twenties to mature unlike the old days where
people through hardship and circumstance were somewhat
forced to mature earlier on in life - this may sound like
hogwash but please consider waiting till you are settled
in yourself before getting married. You will them be able
to make the best choice of partner possible for your married
life. |
