“People think they have to find their soulmate to have a good marriage.”

You’re not going to “find” your soulmate. Anyone you meet already has soulmates —their mother, their father, and their lifelong friends. You get married, and after 20 years of loving, bearing and raising kids, and meeting challenges —then you’ll have “created” your soulmate. (Diane Sollee, smartmarriages.com)

Isn’t this pretty cool ??

Don’t stop with the question, “Is this person a Christian?”

You need to ask a much deeper question than that: “Is this person I am thinking about marrying displaying the character and mind of Christ?” I would look deep into the character of the individual. Make sure he or she loves the Lord with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength. And look for the “markers” that are displaying that love in their lives. (From the web site for the ministry of Dr Gary Smalley)

I really loved this quote and simply had to upload  it for you,

“Just because a man calls himself a Christian doesn’t mean a thing about his spiritual condition.”

Hitler probably professed to be a nice guy. What really shows a man’s faith is action —not trying to get you into bed until you are both wearing a ring; initiating his own personal relationship with God and encouraging yours as well; and especially holding his feelings back in the relationship to allow God to lead. God’s choice of a mate for you is going to be a godly man, and if you listen, God will tell you through an active prayer life and the counsel of other godly influences whether this is the one He has picked out for you. (Julie Ferwerda, from Crosswalk.com article “9 Lies Women Tell Themselves About Men“)

Personally, I think this is good quote for sisters to keep in their minds especially given the fact that there are more single women in the church than single men. There’s probably a temptation for sisters to rationalise on who a Christian man really is and ignore  the need for a real examination of who the man ‘ on the table’ is.

I hope you find this helpful.

“Would you marry you?”

If you need to get your act together, do it before you get engaged. You will be better off, and one day, if you end up getting married, your marriage will reap the benefit of the relational health you bring into it. (David Gudgel, from the book, “Before You Get Engaged”)
