Don't do it!
Many people today are single. Divorce rates are at an all-time high. Feminism has put many men off women, and weak men have put many women off men. Finding a normal person to date is challenging.
When you do meet someone who seems semi normal, there is still a very important factor to consider: Are they a true Christian or not?
This factor is bigger than any other because the difference between a true Christian and a non-Christian is night and day.
2 Cor 6:14 “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. What fellowship has light with darkness?”
There is literally no true fellowship in a relationship with a non-Christian. Fellowship is very important. It strengthens bonds and adds richness to a relationship. Casual chats over coffee about running routes, hobbies or holiday locations are nice at first. But after a week or two, a relationship without real spiritual connection will run as dry as a desert for a Christian.
Christians are prized partners. They are friendly, approachable, kind, and caring. The light in a room. Because of this, Christians need to have their guard up and avoid being pulled into unequally yoked relationships. God calls Christians to faithfulness in marriage, and a non-Christian will not always be able to show the same level of commitment.
Mark 10:9 “What God has joined together, let no one separate.”
God does not delay. He will send the right person at the right time if you are ready and walking rightly with Him. Wait on God and be wise. Don’t make decisions based on fleshly desire alone, wait for the spiritual connection.
Prov 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.”
