Question by mre45: Christian dating question–Please help!?
I was raised in the church, but I’ve just recently deepened my relationship with Jesus Christ. I’m not sure how to broach the subject of boundaries–or the fact that I’m a born-again Christian–with dates. I’ve never really had to do this before, and I’m not sure when or how to introduce the topic. I don’t want to send guys running for the hills, but neither do I want to form a relationship with someone who does not share my faith. Unfortunately, I haven’t met any singles at church, so with most of the people I might go out with, I do not know where they stand as far as their Christian faith. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If it helps, I’m in my early twenties. Thank you!

I am a Christian man who married a non-Christian woman. I’m writing this to give other Christians who are currently dating non-Christians an idea of what it is like to be in a committed relationship where both parties do not share the same worldview and some issues you might encounter if you decide to get married.

Going to Church

She used to come with me to church when we were dating. It got less and less frequent. Now she doesn’t come with me at all. She finds it boring to be at church. Sitting for an hour and listening to a person preach is too much for her. The last time we were both at a church service, she was fidgeting the whole time, twisting in her seat, played with her keys and was visibly bored and uncomfortable being there. I decided then that there was no point in bringing her to church if she was going to be unhappy and disruptive during the service. She has not gone with me ever since.

Friends

We both have a mix of Christian and con-Christian friends. One of the challenges I had to face throughout our relationship was explaining to my Christian friends at church and at small group meetings why my girlfriend (soon to be wife) wasn’t with me. She has also gotten tired of answering new Christian friends who ask about her involvement at Church. There’s always that awkward silence that follows the statement “Oh, I don’t go to church.” These are small issues but small issues can add up if you are not prepared to accept or deal with them.

Support System

We have different ways of dealing with the inevitable challenges that life throws at us. When I am faced with an issue that I don’t know how to resolve, the first thing I do is pray to God for guidance. The first thing she does is to call her mother who she has a very close relationship with for advice, next in line are her friends. Her favorite way of distressing after a rough day at work is to watch a television soap opera. Mine is to read and meditate on scripture. This seems to be working fairly well and doesn’t really affect our relationship.

Biggest Challenge

What I find most challenging in this relationship is when she puts God in an unfavorable light. I.e. If God is so good why doesn’t He do X, Y, or Z? When couples duel over God’s place in the world is when the relationship can get rocky. Our solution is we don’t talk about issues of God and faith.

Conclusion

I did not go into the marriage hoping that she would change. I accept and love her for who she is. Whether you’re a single Christian man or woman, I don’t recommend dating or marrying a Non-Christian unless you are willing to accept a less than ideal spiritual journey. Today, there are plenty of free Christian dating sites you can join to find other Christian singles. Good luck and God Bless.

Many Christian singles have made statements such as I know God wants us to be together, its Gods Will, or even God sent you to me. In dating or seeking love online, the Christian Singles Dating sites (and even some of the non-Christian ones) should come with a warning label. Just because people are registered on a Christian singles site doesnt mean they are necessarily a Christian.

Wanting to find a spiritual partner is something most Christian singles want. But unfortunately, there are people out in this world taking advantage of every opportunity they can to mislead. Do not have your spiritual blinders on just because something is tagged Christian.

Listen to your heart and wait for Gods guidance before jumping into any relationship you deem as Gods Will. Moving forward into a relationship without seeking His direction first can certainly lead to pain and disappointment. Consequently, this causes some Christians to get angry with God because they feel He misled them. God is not the creator of confusion and if you moved forward without having a positive confirmation that it is blessed by God, you certainly cant blame Him

There are singles sites not labeled as Christian and would probably prove to be more accurate than the Christian singles sites themselves.  You would not be expecting more than you would be getting. Some Christians will take things at face value if it carries a label of Christian instead of testing the true spirit of the situation.

Dont be gullible but use discernment when choosing a partner for your relationship. Prayer can be the best way to know if it really is the relationship God wants for you. He will direct you in making the right choice if you give Him the time and be patient.

A Christian dating service cannot guarantee you will find a Christian wife or husband, but they will tell you that you will probably find someone. While you very well may find the perfect match for you on a singles site, ts important to be on your toes and know the possible dangers of being totally trusting when it comes to having a Christian tag. Wait and listen, you will really know when the time and person for you is the right one.

Using Christian matchmakers will probably be a better choice because they will, most of the time, match you with someone claiming to have the same values and ideals you are searching for.
