Ephesians 5 25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."[c] 32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Marriage is a parable, of how Christ loves His bride, the Church. We are each members of His body, He is our husband, though as a guy I have a hard time relating. But, on the other hand, I can act like I would want my wife to act towards me, humble, obedient, loving, etc. Christ wants to present me, and the Church, local and Global, as Holy, pure, and blameless.
As a man, my goal is to represent Jesus Christ to my wife. To treat her Holy, and pure. To love her, to lead her, and to care for her. If you are a guy, and you cannot lead a girl spiritually, then you definitely should not get married. Girls, if you have a hard time following a man, than don't get married.
I think the most important thing is that you both point each other to Christ, because the instant you try to usurp God's rightful place, your relationship is going in the wrong direction. You should be very careful, and purposeful in who you choose to knit your soul too. Dating casually is worldly, and harming to both parties spiritually. You should let your spiritual convictions lead you to a person who shares, or can accept them.
A perfect person , no one can find. Find a person who is humble, who Loves Jesus Christ, is compassionate, bares fruit of the Spirit, who loves God's Word, and has a vision of following hard after the Lord Jesus Christ. Build upon the Rock, and it will stand whatever faults you have, or problems you face
