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 13

1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2: Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselvesdamnation.

3: For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraidof the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

5: Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6: For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7: Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

8: Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9: For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery,Thou shalt not kill,Thou shalt not steal,Thou shalt not bear false witness,Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Ex 20:13-17 Lev 19:18 Matt 5:43 Matt 19:19 Matt 22:39 Mark 12:31 Gal 5:14 Jam 2:8

10: Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

11: And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now isour salvation nearer than when we believed.

12: The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13: Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering andwantonness, not in strife and envying.

14: But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans 14
