Godly Christian men.

Many single Christian women are of the opinion that many single Christian men are not as dedicated to their faith as they should be. Do you live your Christian faith? Do you regularly attend Church services? In what other ways are you involved in your Church? Have you been involved with missions? Do you love God above all else? How often do you read the Bible? Have you been saved? When you grow closer to God, Godly, Christian women will take note and approach you.

The Bible teaches us: Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. (proverbs 31:10) If a virtuous woman is worth more than rubies, a virtuous man is worth more than diamonds as there are far fewer single Godly men than women! As you continue to work on worshiping God, serving others and being involved in your church you will shine bright like a diamond and become more appealing to single Christian women, as it will become obvious that you are bearing forth good fruit(Matthew 7:16)! More important than other Christian singles taking note of you is God taking note, God will bless you with Prosperity as you serve him in righteousness.


Fact: "Adversity pursues sinners, But the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity." Proverbs 13:21



Get out of the friend zone.

Many single Christian women are of the opinion that they never really know for sure if the single Christian men who approach them are really interested in pursuing a steady relationship with them. Single Christian men remain in the background as just friends without ever making their intentions of a romantic relationship clear. Often Single Christian men and women are in an unofficial Christian dating / friend relationship-ish situations, without any real commitment. Where the guy uses his single female friend to feed his emotional needs without any plans or desire for taking on serious marriage responsibility.

These ‘friend zone’ situations have some of the emotional support and closeness of a real relationship, but also the open non committed character of a friendship, it seems like to best of both worlds. But the consequences of these vaguely defined relationships / friendships without any real commitment are heartache and regret. Get out of this emotional quagmire and pray for God’s help to focus on marriage and starting a family

Indeed, the list is endless. However, what is much more important is charting a way forward to end this cycle. Take a look at the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:26-


“…with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26



Is there a way out? Absolutely! If you are stuck in the in twilight of the ‘friend zone’, pray for guidance and clarity of mind. After prayerful consideration address the issue with you female ‘friend’ and decide if you want to progress towards marriage, or if perhaps you’d better stop seeing each other.

Date outside of your league!

We humans have an aversion to everything that we perceive as ‘different’. Too often we want to date someone that is exactly like us. Too often we judge and write off single Christian women too soon. Are you guilty of writing off, God’s beloved daughters so quickly, that you do not even give them a second look? Do you have a list with requirements of what a future spouse needs to be like, that no human being could possibly meet?

God most likely has a has a wonderful single Christian woman in store for you, but it could be that you are blinding yourself with your ‘list’ of specifications. Remember that it is not a car that you are buying, and that God is no respecter of persons, in God’s eyes we are all precious and unique: For God there simply is no ‘league’.


"Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.…" Acts 10:34


Try dating Godly girls that you normally would not consider dating, give them a chance. At the very least you could get to know them a little and perhaps there is reason to go on more dates you will probably have lots of fun on these dates and might during one of these dates even come to realize that you do like your date an awful lot and that she will be your future wife.

How stable are you?

While God did not create anyone without emotions, single Christian women love single Christian men who are strong, dependable and mentally stable. Do you take your mental health serious? As a man, if you are still emotionally shaky, please work on yourself, read more, educate yourself and develop yourself in every way possible. Get professional help if you need to. How about your physical health, do respect your body as the temple of your soul?

As much as you long for a God-glorifying relationship, allow God to groom you, to prune you, and prepare you for your future wife, so that you can be both deserving of each other.

By the sweat of your brow…

Being respectable means you should ask yourself if your lifestyle may elicit profound respect from any woman to be in a relationship with. Ask yourself if you are financially stable, are you prudent or frivolous in spending? For any single Christian guy who seeks to attract the right single Christian woman, know that being hardworking is a big tick on the list of single women, wanting to get married and start a family.
