It would be a blessing to meet my future husband to cherish and follow the Lord together. Someone who is mature and is faithful and puts the Lord first.

It would be such a blessing to be able to hold someone that loves Christ.

What happens when God chooses your spouse and tells you to love them unconditionally? 🙏🏼📖☝🏼

@Eber If you don't mind me commenting some thoughts - first, you should get confirmation that what you've heard is actually from God on the person you think is your spouse. Also at the end of the day, while you can and should love them to the best of your ability, it's only God who can truly love unconditionally. Hence the different confirmation. Hope that helps a bit!

@Kelly I agree! The only way we can love anyone is by being reborn again 🙏🏼 1 John 4:8 Jesus is our example by hearing and obeying him☝🏼there’s a reward for demonstrating this type of Love from God! I was making a point, we must guard our Hearts. A lot of people after the flesh on this app 😬📖 thanks for sharing your opinion.

Someone who is surrendering to Jesus, can admit their faults, can be open and honest with those faults, someone who seeks to pray together and confess faults to each other. Someone who truly knows how fallen they are and are in need of Christ they are and someone who sees I am in the same boat and am in need of Jesus too. Someone who lifts me up to Jesus when I’m down and someone who lets me lift them up to Jesus when I’m down. Basically someone who is constantly being changed by the Gospel.

God told me to tear up my lists long ago. Whilst I have preferences and also look for red flags, ultimately, I will love the person He puts in front of me and believe He will put the supernatural love in me for him and vice versa.

When it comes to lists, it’s common to have 2 areas that we pray for our future spouse - non-negotiable character and values, & preferences (ahem looks or height). While the non-negotiable side doesn’t change for the most part, the preferences has, for me, over the years. If the man loves God, it’ll show in his actions, his service, his family, ministry, and in everything done unto the Lord. That’s what matters at the end of it all.

Modesty, authenticity, kindness, devotion to God, gentle, quiet. I think it would be wise to embody the traits we would like to find in a spouse before we demand them from other people

1. Leads life like a true Christian 2. Reciprocative physical attraction is important to a certain level. 3. Is smarter than me, in a sense that she can have a logical discussion about a disagreement or in making a decision , or call me out on something. 4. God willing, wanting to start a family.

I woukd think is less about preferences and more about character shaped by the gospel.

I will run out of characters as my list is very detailed and I know exactly what I am looking for 🧐 But for the start, it ideally would be l a woman who is extroverted, straight forward and can communicate her feelings in an effective manner 💯 Also I am looking for someone who excels at things I do not have talent for (and the other way around) so that we can be a perfect team 🔥 Bonus points if she is a worship leader, is physically attractive and not bound to staying at a location 🙏🏻

Martin, do you think you (or the typical Christian man) would go further if the lady wasn't physically attractive?

I think we can do better than lists. When God created Eve, Adam didn't stop and say, “Wait, I have a list of what I want first.”

Besides the Christian viewpoints and life viewpoints, as those come first, I’m praying for someone who understands that I have mild autism, and who is open to kids but won’t push me to have them, nor do I want to be the one pushing him to have kids with me, I want us both ready, as the lord wills it.

Great question! I'm gonna answer with faith in God that he will pick the right man for me! Some traits I'm looking for besides an active relationship with God are: Humility, gentleness, a bit goofy like me 😂, a listener , honesty, ambiverted...there's plenty other traits but I'll run out of characters😅. I guess the shallow traits I'd prefer are things like: a deep voice, naturally long eyelashes and big hands (Don't ask😅), facial hair and 5"10+ 😅
