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 21



1: Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

2: If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

3: If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

4: If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

5: And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

6: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.

7: And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as themenservants do.

8: If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

9: And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

10: If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

11: And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

12: He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

13: And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither heshall flee.

14: But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

15: And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

16: And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17: And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

18: And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and hedie not, but keepeth his bed:

19: If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

20: And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

21: Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

30: If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

31: Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

33: And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;

34: The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.

35: And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.

36: Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kepthim in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
