Why did I stop dating? Because it was not working for me. As a Christian woman, the ROI was too low for me to keep dating as the world defines it. Instead, I broke the cycle of casual, shallow dating in my life to seek intimacy with God.
Many women have had boyfriends they thought would metamorphose into fiancées. He is usually that funny, smart guy they feel some ineffable connection to.
Many church-goers have sex, but no one wants to talk about it. The increasing number of unwed teenage mothers wheeling their little ones down the aisles confirms this.
Are you ready to support a man spiritually, physically and emotionally? I soon realized that I had prayed for a husband, but not to become a wife. My friends’ strained marriages forced me to reconsider my single life.
Despite the decayed morals and high divorce rates in this country, there is still the expectation of modern women to marry before thirty.
Dating creates expectations of meeting ‘the one’ that we might marry and spend the rest of our lives with. But, what happens when things do not turn out as expected?
I cannot explain how it happened or how it felt to be freed from issues that had plagued me as a single woman. The more I studied the Bible, the more free I became.
When committing your life to God, meaning you finally decide to follow Christ and His spiritual principles—you bind yourself to a covenant relationship in which you have agreed to combine your soul—mind, will and emotions.
