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 2



1: In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of theLORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,

2: Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,

3: Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?

4: Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:

5: According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.

6: For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
Heb 12:26,27 Exod 19:18

7: And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fillthis house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

8: The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

9: The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORDof hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

10: In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,

11: Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,

12: If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, orpottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

13: Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

14: Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offerthere is unclean.

15: And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:

16: Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to drawout fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.

17: I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.

18: Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.

19: Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will Ibless you.

20: And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of themonth, saying,

21: Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and theearth;

22: And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by thesword of his brother.

23: In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet:for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah 1
