WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ... CHOOSING A MATE?

To understand how God feels about this subject, we must examine The Bible.

Bible Titus 2: 3-5 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

Genesis 2: 18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.


Choosing a mate is a decision that should be made carefully, prayerfully, and very seriously. The Lord wants to bring a mate to those who will ask Him and have the patience to wait for His choice. Looking for a man or woman to just keep them from being lonely or just to fill their needs or to be a father or mother to their children should not be the only reasons for desiring a mate. They also need to be concerned about what kind of husband or wife they would be for a mate. These single people are still much in the flesh if they just want their own needs met. They should ask the Lord to fill them with His love and peace.

Being single is an important time to prepare us for marriage. It can also be a time to experience a closer communion with God. As we seek God to cleanse us of the world and help us become the kind of wife or husband that would bless someone, we will soon find that we are not lonely.

Chapter 9



1: And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2: And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

3: Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4: But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5: And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the handof every man's brother will I require the life of man.

6: Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

7: And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

8: And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9: And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10: And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of theearth.

11: And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

12: And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14: And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh;and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16: And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17: And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all fleshthat is upon the earth.

18: And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

19: These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

20: And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

21: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22: And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23: And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness oftheir father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

24: And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25: And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26: And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27: God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

28: And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29: And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
