Why is dating as a Christian so hard 😩 I’m noticing Christian men run after expressing I don’t want to have sex before marriage. Feels impossible to find someone who understands my “why” and will wait.

Girl!!! Please don’t believe what culture will tell you. I have had so many exes tell me no one would wait, but now I’m engaged to a man who is LEADING in this aspect. God will give you that man.

You’re absolutely right in distinguishing true believers from the lip service ones. Keep me and the rest of us in your prayers ❤️

I met my wife on a dating app! Give Coffee Meets Bagel a try. We matched as two devoted Christians. The key is to stay true to your convictions. Youre going to go through a lot of lemons before you make lemonade.

They're not looking for you then. Just a body.
Many men do. Consider it a great screening tool.

My wife waited and I'm thankful for it. Wish I had.

My wife felt the same way. Both she and I waited and we were 28/33 when we met. Neither of us expected to find someone else who had. We met at a party with folks from our churches, so we knew we aligned at least on core doctrinal issues. One thing led to another and we've been together 7 years. Don't give up hope!

Amen! Thank you for sharing ❤️

This might be a quiet thread by now, but my wife and I both waited for marriage for sex. I was 28 and she 26 when we got married.

You’ll be glad you waited. Peace, sister.

You just have not met someone who truly cares about you. I am guessing the guys you are seeing are non-believers?

I guess it could be possible saying one is a Christian and not actually knowing or honoring Gods word is possible. I usually date believers.

Can someone who knows more about the law than me explain why the opinion seemed to focus more on when life begins than plain old autonomy? I read both and they seemed to focus a lot on that point. But one of the better arguments I've seen online is that to take even a dead person's organs they had to consent first. Are these 2 totally separate principles or why would that concept not come into play? Or is needing consent from the dead not a federal thing

Does it ever make you wonder why we have so many man made sects/denominations of christianity?

They are all denominations of sects that started with a man/woman disagreeing with an original church (e.g whether it be Catholic or Orthodox).

I mean we have Jehovahs witness, baptist, Anabaptist, Evangelical, independent, pentecostal, lutheran and the list goes on and on and on.

Its either God says only one is right and the rest were teaching false religions or we all go to heaven.
