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.

4: And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

5: And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

6: And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

7: And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

8: And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

9: And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

10: Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with myson, even with Isaac.
Gal 4:30

11: And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.

12: And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Rom 9:7 Gal 3:16Heb 11:18

13: And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

14: And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, andsent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

15: And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of theshrubs.

16: And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him,and lift up her voice, and wept.

17: And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

18: Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

19: And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.

20: And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

21: And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

22: And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:

23: Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor withmy son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thoushalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.

24: And Abraham said, I will swear.
25: And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violentlytaken away.

26: And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.

27: And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

28: And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

29: And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?

30: And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.

31: Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.

32: Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

33: And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

34: And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
