Dear Young Single Christian ... |
You want to please God. You want to make a success of your life. And you want to be married.
Well, at least part of you does.
Marriage is probably the most mixed message you’ve ever gotten.

I like your idea of strong and soft. But how do I get there? |

I’ve been told that love fizzles out after five years of marriage. But Proverbs 5:19 says married love should last forever. What goes wrong?

You say we guys are supposed to pursue the girls. But that’s not as easy as it sounds. I’m not so much afraid of rejection, but I’m worried about breaking her heart if I change my mind. Second, the guys I see pursuing girls seem to be “players” who treat girls simply like trophies. I don’t want to be grouped with them. Third, I’ve been told to be goal-focused instead of girl-focused. Isn’t pursuing a girl an admission that I’m needy, or maybe that I’m not finding God to be enough for me? |

If I meet a guy I believe I want to marry,
what do I do then? I'm used to just going after what I
want. How can I wait and yet not seem to be stand-offish?
Is it okay to ask God for him? |

I’m still not quite sure how to find and
pursue a godly girl. I have a lot of close female Christian
friends, but I usually end up in a big brother role. How can I
get past that?

Does God “call” us to marry one certain guy/girl, or do we have freedom to choose, as long as they are Christian? Also, where does the relationship with our husband/wife rank in importance in our life? Should it be right under God?

What does it mean to have a God-centered relationship, and what does that kind of relationship look like? I have been struggling with putting my girlfriend's relationship in front of my relationship with God. In turn I feel disconnected from God and find myself struggling with the relationship with my girlfriend. I know the truths in my head, but my heart is struggling to accept them. |

The girl I thought I was going to marry
recently left me, and it really hurts. Now I wonder if I was to
blame. But even more, it makes me afraid to date anyone
else. How can I know if someone can be trusted, that she won’t
leave…even after we’re married?

I think what you’re writing is true, and it’s the way I’d like to start living. However, I’m not sure how to make the transition. I’m still attracted to a man who I now know isn’t right for me. How do I break that off without hurting him, and how do I keep myself from being attracted to artificial masculinity in the future?

I definitely identify with a single woman not
worrying about finding her “calling,” but rather preparing to be a
man’s helper in the tasks God will give him. How exactly do I do
that, and what ministry should I pursue now…in case it’s a while before
he arrives?

Are you saying God wants all women to be married? That makes it sound like those of us who never get there are sinning or at least inferior.

If I’m not to be concerned with beauty as the world defines it,
how much should I care about clothes and looking attractive? Is
it wrong to feel butterflies when a man tells me I’m beautiful?

Isn't there more to being equally yoked than just both being
Christians? Doesn't a successful marriage require other kinds of
compatibility, including a shared vision and calling? Also, is it
possible to be too cautious (or not cautious enough) when selecting a
mate? |

Before I became a Christian a few years ago, the things I saw and read
in movies, romance novels, and pornography gave me a very negative view
of sex. I want to have a husband and children some day, but the
thought of physical intimacy is repulsive to me. What do I do?

What is the scriptural basis for the idea that God wants men to pursue women? I don’t really understand why a girl can’t ask out a guy, if she is very modest about it.

I am now engaged to a girl I've dated for quite a few months. But as
soon as I asked her to marry me, I began to have doubts. We come from
very different backgrounds, plus I don't know if my love for her is
strong enough to overcome my weaknesses (I've only been a Christian for
a few years). Do my doubts mean God is trying to tell me not to marry
her? |

I was recently shocked to learn that a close guy friend, whom I believe
to be a Christian, has gotten involved sexually with another man. What
happened??

Now that I'm out of college, I'm not only having a harder time finding
single Christian girls to date, but when I do find someone I'm
attracted to, her schedule is often so full that it's tough to get
together. Any suggestions? |
