Christian singles are more than ever before confused by the criteria upon which they should base in choosing a dating or lifetime Christian partner. Choosing a partner is divine, and you should not rush into doing it simply because your friends are doing it. Remember always that the kind of person you end up with as your wife or husband will be the only person you will have in your entire life as not only a lover, but a lifelong companion. This is why you should rethink the kind of criteria you are using and whether it has God at the center of its unfolding. Anything in your life that does not have the blessing and guidance of God is bound to flop miserably. Let the bible and your prayers to God be for wisdom in your choice, so that you don’t face complications in the days to come.

The criterion that you use as one of the many Christian singles around should not reflect the society’s expectation, but the will of God and your good expectations. Basing your lifelong relationship issues on the world’s view will be the beginning of your fall. The world today is stressing so much on the physical attraction and outward beauty, and with the ever rising cases of divorce, separation and fornication, it is evident what the problem is. Christian singles should never fall into this trap. Once you have sacrificed some important details which the bible stresses as the constituents of a good union then there can be no success.

Today’s marriages and dating cases are far too much based on lust and infatuation rather than genuine concerns of duty to each other. This is another criterion that the Christian singles should forever refrain from. Once you have started paying too much attention on the outward beauty and general shape of your partner, lust will set in and you can rest assured that you will have a lot of issues. Lust is a sin and it can lead you no where except to an eventual demise. Built your criteria towards marriage and dating partner on strong foundations such as love and trust, which are long lasting and will prove to you along the lane of life the love of God and his blessings on your relationship. It is a high time that Christian singles realize that they are not of this world and their criteria towards anything in life must reflect the inherent Godliness, and righteousness.

Let you criteria towards dating and marriage be guided by prayer and proper counseling. The thing with modern singles is that they are not making use of counseling instances as they should do. Counseling means that you get to meet people who have been there before to guide you through the standing issues affecting your criteria for an ideal relationship. Talking to your church leader, married Christian spouses or your parents or members of your family will make sure that you get the right and necessary guidelines that will clear any doubt from your mind. Prayers are a must in each and every step. The problem with modern Christian singles is that they are praying less and less. The lesser you prayer the more you fall into temptations, and the more you will flop in your search for the right partner.
