to find a good christian spouse? probably harder than most expect otherwise there wouldnt be so much traffic in the singles forum. With all the brands of christianity out there, i can imagine its next to impossible to find someone you mesh with on all the topics, so there is a lot of settling on more trivial matters.

I had rather try to obey God and get married, than have the attitude that im not going to get married because it might not work? So it seems some think its better to just disobey than to try to obey and take a chance of failing?
Its like some think its better to not even try to obey God than try? I get confused when Christians shack up or sleep around..because I don't think they have a real understanding that God is God...Yes He is merciful and patient ..but He wont be mocked by silly excuses and by those who call Him Lord and make no attempt to obey Him.

Not hard to find someone that self identifies as a Christian, but from one person to another - Christian or otherwise - values vary. Two of my exes were Christian, and two weren't. Not that I mean to broad brush things here, but the two that were not Christian were more upright and mellow than the two girls that claimed it.
So yeah, I can see what you mean. Maybe "equally yoked" should refer more to people having a common moral framework rather than insinuating going to the same church, singing the same hymns, and having identical ideas about God.

well in my situation girls were never attracted to me I am one of those people who just can't find a girl and I suppose I could have worried about it but I was far more interesting in building the love and the bond between God and i and I knew that one day God would bring the girl to me even though I have not dated ever but I knew that a girlfriend was not nearly as important as the relationship between God and I and so I sought after him with a endearing and hungry heart and then one day a girl by the name of atrsiesteph joined the forums and she and I became friends quickly and eventually fell in love.
and so the scripture was proven true that if we seek the kingdom of God first then all other things will fall into place

Two people can have God #1, but that doesn't mean two people are automatically made for a relationship. Not everyone is called for marriage. If God wants someone to marry, He'll send someone in His timing. But I believe we're meant to appreciate singleness and accept that God could have us as a single for a reason.

The problem tho is this often turns into one or the other policing the others "sold out to God" status. Shared experiences is what creates a bond....you just have to find a person that has good character and that you like just the way they are. IMO....that is more of a state of mind that is up to you than than the other person. When we adjust how we see the world...the world and its people will adjust to the way we see it....funny how that works.
How true this is!

Ditto.
Amen.

I'd rather have a man who's more concerned of pleasing Jesus than me. And I the same as him. I think that's the whole thing about Christianity, putting Jesus first. I know it should be more complicated than that. But it really doesn't have to be. See, the world tries to live up to so many standards, it gets confusing. I think that's why Jesus came to bring peace, and that applies to this case too. At least I know, that if a man puts Jesus above everything, even his emotions or mine, then I know we'll be alright. But what if his understanding of prioritizing Jesus is different from my perception (e.g.: putting strangers and family in the same level of priority - that happens a lot)? Well that would be a problem, I think. It's hard when emotions are involved. I guess I'll retreat to my solitude and just serve God with no strings attached for as long as I can lel.
