1. God wants you to date if you're equally yoked and attracted to one another. 2. If the interest also wants to date you. 3. If you're prepared to honor God and you're ready for a relationship. 4. If you are asking is that person the one. (Prayerful confirmation) 5. If you have maxed out the levels of a healthy friendship but want to connect in further. Thanks Mark!

@@notasleanstillasmean3593 "Dating" in the context of Christian discipleship is more or less equivalent to "courting" rather than modern secular dating. It is essentially dating with the purpose of deciding whether or not they are the one you should marry. The moment you feel God telling you yes or no to marriage with this person is the moment dating should end with either a breakup or engagement.

Hey

When I was widowed at a young age (38) I wasn’t interested in getting married again, I had three young teens and involved in our wonderful Word church. All my needs were met. I was busy preparing my life, I went back to school becoming a nurse. During these five years I asked God for a godly man friend. Without me knowing it the Lord was speaking to my future husband about me. He first saw me worshipping the Lord and a light enveloped me. Through a series of miracles the Lord brought us together and let me know he was the Lord’s choice. We’ve been happily married now for 29 years.🥰

man, something been running through my mind lately... theres this girl i met. a christian girl and at the time when i met her i was pretty much a "part time" christian (i steered off at a certain point in my life) - long story short: i hit rock bottom and questioned, doubted about myself and God & lived in guilt, heartbreaks and shame, started walking my own worldly path. though i would pray here and there about life during this point....fast forward recently when i met her... i felt a calling. we were texting each other for a week straight, we had a pretty good connection and vibe. asked her out, went for a coffee/walk date. i thought it went great buuuuut she rejected me (and the first time in my life i didnt feel super heartbroken) lolol but this is where i felt the calling, she invited me to the church she goes to and i went. ive been going for almost two months now. when it was my first time there at the church, to make sure there woiuldnt be any confusion, i told her im not here to win your heart.. im here for God and i prayed for something like this looong time ago during that worldly point of my life. i dont sit next to her, ill always say hi but keep convos short with her, i just try to keep it friendly and respect the boundaries, i just try to be more of a friend if anything. but time to time i still think of her, especially during the times i pray. the other day she found out i was getting baptized soon, and we really got deep in that convo. the part that keeping running through my mind is.... should i still pursue her? or continue to respect that she rejected me?(which im currently doing and trying to move on)...i need some advice and wisdom. so please God, i pray you help me find these answers and i ask to make it SUPER obvious because i can be pretty oblivious sometimes lolol. amen.

Hmm to be honest when it comes to things like this you'd want to continue as if the rejection is still in place just because things are going well for you as friends doesn't mean things can suddenly change towards romance it can but not something to be stuck pondering and I've learned that from personal experience myself. My best advice to you is to continue the friendship and then if the topic of talking about your future plans come up basically throw to the wind that perhaps you wanna start thinking about preparations to be the man who has a family in his future by working on yourself but not specifying somebody specific in mind like for example you could say "yeah I've decided I wanna work on myself more (working towards a better job or owning a home or forming a business) so that I'm prepared for when the times comes for me to have my own family and they will be set" it shows that you are focusing on yourself and that you are patiently awaiting the day for when God reveals your future wife but also not letting yourself cling onto what ifs. This way you save yourself the worry about who and when instead you shift the focus and if that crush of yours decides to pursue you then you'll know it's meant to be if not then you also have your answer and can freely move on without ruining anything or making anything awkward considering she has rejected you once any attempts to do so again will make her not wanna interact with you as much and could lead to ruining your friendship though that depends on how she currently feels either way its a risk to let your feelings be known if there's no obvious sign her feelings have changed since your first date especially if she rejected you without giving you a reason why

So helpful! And so simple! I wish I could go back in time when I hadn't yet fallen head over heels in love with the unbeliever narcissist and just... wait, that narcissist is my past life husband. And they are the one I believe I have to marry again. I am not expecting anyone to understand where I'm coming from with this statement, I'm just going to be honest with myself out loud here. I don't believe I need to look for anyone else. And I am honestly not going to. I don't mind praying to God about them and their faith journey (and I actually do that already), but I'm fine just waiting on the Lord. And if it should never happen, well...c'est la vie. I mean, I am open to the idea of staying happy single then. I just feel so feisty today, maybe I don't really believe I want to stay single, but I believe in honoring God the way He sees fit. And He knows where I'm at with my love life, so... we'll see. Thank you so much for the message! God bless!

I didn't date for 8 years after that, during which, his wife was unfaithful, and he divorced. He was up visiting family and called me one day. We met up and went on a date, and we were together ever since that day. 32 years after HS, God put me together with the only man I never stopped loving.

This is typically more like “God wouldn’t mind it if you date this person”. I believe that while some people come here with a specific person God has in mind for that person, many people don’t. My mom ended up with my dad, but I’m not sure that God had him in mind for her, and perhaps no one else, either. They just ended up together. She only ever had infatuation for one person, and it didn’t go anywhere per her own accord. He quickly ended up with another, pretty decent, woman.

@Billy-bc8pk things turned sour quickly when I moved in with her and her family considering my mother had just passed away I figured it was time to be with her and finally begin preparations for building a family and whatever else needed however because I lacked a high paying and long hour job I spent more time at her place but she had too many expectations for me to just up and take over the houses chores I however didn't feel comfortable just begin doing as I pleased as it was not my own house and I respected her mom so I let them better decide things but I'd help out even then it wasn't enough for either of them and began berating me calling me a lazy child I didn't own a car and for that matter I didn't even know how to drive, to be honest a childhood trauma prevents me from taking the wheel but I AM capable of driving but at the time I had no idea why I felt that way either way she expected me to just go and purchase a house and begin life there but I knew that was a bad and risky move without either of us having good paying jobs I didn't want to put us both at risk and because of all that plus her job stressing her out she took it out on me and then her brothers began to complain about this and that, she would then spend too much time being at her brothers house despite me not feeling comfortable because I didn't like the fact that he would get drunk and begin berating me by "joking" about my own problems she would tag along and also drink I avoided it because I didn't really enjoy drinking at all but that only made them feel a type of way about me like I'm boring and no fun, things only got worse when I saved up $600 for a trip to Vegas and I had to find a new job because my boss wouldn't allow me to take time off to go so she suggested I leave that place and so I did I ended up with a job that paid a dollar more but my hours were so small it really didn't make it worth it but we enjoyed our time and money ran out even though I won us both about 200 bucks it still didn't last and we went home after a few days. After that I bought her a gift a brand new Samsung tablet that had capabilities to draw something she enjoyed it made me glad she loved the gift this wqs in December for her birthday but by then things were not so great she began to hit me on occasions I'd sometimes cry myself to sleep over dumb arguments and then finally around January she kicked me out of her house when she said I wasn't putting in effort and her mom told her I'd end up lazy and worthless like her father who drunk himself to death despite all that I was willing to forgive her and give her another opportunity as to not throw away 7 and a half years but she in a sense just played with my heart and once I realized that I let go of her and my heart died along with my feelings for her as well and by that I mean I completely changed as a person and I lost the desire to even date anyone again but I have let go of that to and have moved on completely but with all that I learned in that relationship I won't ever allow anyone else to ever hurt me in that manner again I also won't ever fornicate, move in before marriage and allow myself to be treated as a punching bag essentially I'm gonna do everything right this time and I have 0 tolerance for anything that basically went wrong with that relationship including jobs and a house

Solo is the way to go!!! If it is HIS will it will be!!!! 🕊️❤️😇🙏

Great video, but (and I ask this in very good faith) can we really assume what the will of God is outside of scripture?

Mark do you have a video on signs of being equally yoked??

Very little helpful information in here. I should date someone if i want to date them and they also want to date me?! Wow, thanks!

Is it possible God can tell you to give someone a chance? I've been praying for a sign that God does direct me towards a certain girl, and while we are equally yolked and she ticks all Biblical boxes I can't say I fancy her in that way, nor feel a particularly strong physical attraction. But then again I don't know her that well either, so could God be saying that He wants me to get to know this woman?

He Is even committed to me and trying to get more closer to God and I like that but I'm not attracted to him and that causes the relationship to not go smoothly because I'm lacking to love him

Where I’ve gotten burned, is Christian men faking it till they make it, then I learned their all talk no walk! These videos really help me discern better!

Well when God made man and woman he gave them a strong desire to be fruitful and multiply. When you meet the person that God wants you to be with that desire will double or triple for both of them. The both of them will spend half the day thinking of them. When you are together you will want to touch them and be touched by them all day. If he or she touches your arm you would never want them to let go. If someone else touched your arm that long it would feel creepy to you and you would pull away. When you are together both of you will have the pupils in your eyes dilate. When your with each other your eyes may appear just a little glassy showing the desire of your heart.

Can I ask what denomination this site is?? 'General' Christian? Catholic, Protestant? Just wondering... :)

I met this woman, she is a Christian and we have a lot in common. But we are living in a different city. She is also quite busy with her work and sometimes she replies my message after 2 days, I am not sure if it is worth pursuing or just give up on her and pursue someone else..

I told my boyfriend I like quality time and calls here and there. He’s busy; I’m busy. No excuses coming 2024✝️🙏🏾💕

I think you should date various ladies until you meet someone you feel you are both comfortable with each other then just be exclusive. No sex though.

Interesting perspective I don't use "God" as I already know God is source. So..I go by what my "soul, inner-being" is directing me too and trust and learn what the feelings are. I grew up believing that God was the answer being and us in meat suits were only relying on "him" on how we should or should not live / do / obey. I feel we are all extensions of God under one source (God)

Mark, does 5 years difference matter we share all qualities She’s 26 and I am 21 years old

What makes you the expert on these dating videos. Just curious cause there are so many out there that claim they are “experts” and to follow their advice. Do you get divine confirmation

Mark, question for you- What does it actually mean to be equally yoked?

Hey guys what is the video where Mark explains some examples of how a girl can invite a guy to an event? Can somebody reply and send it to me? Thank you.

Mark i am in need of advice, how do I contact you

Mark I have an issue here, with this guy we are equally yoke, but I'm trying by all means to love him because he loves me but I'm not exactly attracted to him, one day it's feels like I love him but mostly I'm drifting away from him, I thought I will learn to love him but no I do not....are we supposed to be together or not

Question what if you have been praying for a proverbs 31 woman and she checks all the boxes and you are not attracted to her looks but her heart because she has a heart after god like you and you are going after god and he says this is the one but you don't want to get hurt because ypu have been rejected by someone you thought was the one and they were. NOt the one and god put this person in your path .

what on gods green earth does yoked mean lol?

There's this guy who checks almost all the box and equally yoked but the truth is I have no kinda attraction towards him. I really don't like him romantically because even tho we have conversations but I feel no emotional connection or whatsoever. What do I do? I want to say "No" but I'm afraid I may be wrong 😢 Any advice please

I would recommend giving him a chance, but also don’t be afraid to be honest and move on!!😊 Sometimes it takes awhile, especially for girls to be attracted to a guy and so it’s good to give him a chance, but also if attraction doesn’t come, then don’t feel like you have to date/ stay in the relationship ❤️

Hey, Pastor. Do you think that God would temporarily let you spend time with "the one," then take them away until you are more mature and fully ready to commit to them? Forgive me if you've discussed this before.

Yes, it can happen. Remember, with God anything is possible and he works in various and mysterious ways, but also be cautious and do not put your hope that it will happen.

I’m 25, dated a few and have a history of lessons. I’m currently in a year long relationship with an amazing woman whom I love deeply, it’s not perfect but we both want to make it work. I think there’s lots of “ones” throughout our life for different times. We’ve been sold this idea that we just absolutely end up with this person, which puts waaaayy too much pressure on us. (As a caveat, it’s totally okay to want the relationship to last) That sounds like a really rough and painful situstion , especially with you mentioning them being taken away . Perhaps they were meant to be there for that time and that time I let and perhaps there will be another time. Perhaps there will be another person that comes along that is amazing and maybe that lasts. I don’t think God sets our path out, there’s too much change in the world for that. But I do think he influenced all of our lives to connect with people through the choices we make. Take heart in that you have control and can choose what to do.

I found out long ago relationships aren't for me, I'm just a passerby. I've accepted my solitude gracefully.

@yumishishkin7321 I don't think so, I've been enlightened enough to know how preposterous marriage is, and how the system is stacked against the common man. If its for you go ahead, it's not for me. I've been voluntarily celibate for 7 years now, haven't dated in 10. I'm not perfect either but I've been done.

Thanks, I had a real problem recently trying to date again. I had attachment issues from childhood traumas, so it is a difficult process when the thing I love actually triggers me: other people loving me. What a viscous trick. That the very thing we want the most; love. Is also our worst enemy. I am grateful for God. I just struggle because I want to be ready but I am obviously not. So frustrating.

What if the person that you're interested in dating is online? I'm a woman and if i find a man attractive, and they seem to fit most of the points in this video, how do I go about "pursing" the guy?

@EMichaelBall

Why is he looking online? There are a lot of “red pill” experts out there, like ReplicantPhish, Alexander Grace, Michael Saylor, and Darius M, who are concerned with how online dating is being reduced to an over reliance on how attractive the guy is to a woman. There is a lot more to a successful relationship than just looks, yet it’s too easy to overlook that online, especially if the other person is hiding negative aspects of themselves.

@@EMichaelBall You do bring up a point that meeting somebody online could be tricky considering that most people won't show their bad parts. but when you meet somebody for the first time, you're not gonna know all the negative aspects about them. you just initially take a liking to them and then see where it goes. These days a lot of people that meet their spouses online. My question as a woman is how does one go about showing interests in and guy without engaging in the masculine role of pursuing.

I've had dreams about a woman I have never met before (I was with her in every dream except for the first dream) for the past 4 nights and I was wondering if God could be showing me that me and this woman will meet at some point and we will have a relationship with each other. Could it be a sign from God? I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.

I dreamt of my now bf 13 years before I met him. Made mistakes before that unfortunately (fell away from the faith, was dating all the wrong people, unhappy to the point of almost ending it all...). I had convinced myself that it was just a stupid dream with no meaning. God then sent me my beautiful baby boy and brought be back to Himself. I ended my abusive relationship, came back to Him, and had a year of struggle for every year of unbelief. Then I met my now bf. Our relationship follows all the signs in this video. I was only praying to God for a godly man who would model Christian manhood to my son. Then I met him, our friendship grew, and I've felt God's mercy through my bf. After I had decided to commit to him exclusively, the lighting and place was right and I saw him as in the dream 13 years before... Don't ignore the dreams when they come.

So question for you and anyone else who has experience with this. When we talked about yoking one another it is clear that it is meant to be a Christian man and a Christian woman in the relationship. But what about denominations? What if both are Christians but they are from different denominations?

@meganferreira9880

7 ай бұрын

I don't think denominations matter that much, only when it is a clear contrast (Believing Jesus is the only way to God vs, believing there is other paths to God, or praying to Mary), or if it going to cause too much conflict, (eg, baptism, or if the gifts of the spirit is still in working today- not necessarily a faith or truth issue, but it can cause conflict, and when you can't work through these issues, it can become a problem).

Denominations aren't too big a factor but can lead to a bumpy road if you are not careful I know Christans and catholics are different in some ways but yeah me and my ex didn't fare to well.on talks about God because she had her own personal problems with God and her not going to church regularly and her opinions of how a church should be made her leave my church in the middle of service cuz she didn't enjoy the more enthusiastic nature vs the super quiet churches she's experienced beforehand (this applies to Jehovah Witness churches as well they are quiet with only the pastor speaking during service and 1 or 2 songs and no question asking or any interaction with members till after the service is over)

It's not a faith issue. We both clearly have faith. But I'm Baptist and she is lutheran. And while she has admitted to me that baptism does not bring salvation, only Faith does, she and her parents especially still support infant baptism and of all the practices of the Lutheran Church that is the one thing that really makes me cringe. So of course this makes me wonder if we get married and have kids one day are they going to be baptized as newborns or are we going to wait until they can choose and have faith? Can we reach a compromise where we can baptize them as infants but I be allowed to teach them that it's important for them to choose whether or not they are baptized? Will she agree? All sorts of questions but at least I know for sure that she is christian. If she was any of the weird cults from Catholics to Mormons I wouldn't have even bothered with her

@1989gibbi true I agree even then these minor differences can potentially lead to arguments this of course doesnt mean i am suggesting you two split in any capacity as you are already together. I've also been a Baptist once in my life I always choose chose to pursue the truth no matter what even if it means I leave my current church and denomination but yes I agree baptizing a baby does nothing for them, my ex fiance also had this done for her considering she is catholic and the way she puts it is that the baptism is mearly a means of "protection" however I've learned that it does in fact do absolutely nothing because baptism is a choice one considers and is meant to be taken extremely seriously in the life of the person who is getting baptized while yes it'd important to do it as soon as you can in your life one has to understand that being baptized means you accept death to your old self and become born anew (which babies do not benefit from this because they are basically innocent anyways and have committed no sin up to that point vs a person who lived a life of sin and decided they hate it and abandoned that life style). It is a good thing she herself is Christian however when it comes to conflicting ideologies even within a extremely similar teachings can be bad because now you have to consider and reconsider everything you plan yo share and there will always be disagreements on who has the right knowledge I just spoken about infant baptisms arw wrong however she was also right about the baptists not being enough for salvation, they taught me that accepting Jesus into my heart meant I was saved however this led me to think it was OK to live my life the same way considering I felt like I was safe from hell and that I just continue with church as normal with no real changes to myself which obviously made me comfortable and I began to see the error of my thoughts and actions. To explain, I myself LIVE by Acts 2:38 this verse is the changing point in my life however its not enough to be baptized however one has to go through transformations and gain a ton of wisdom, which I thank my heavenly father for providing me with such. So with that said yes it's based solely on your faith that saves you as salvation is something you obtain like a gift througg the good grqce of Gof it isn't earned and no actions in your life will allow you to be worthy of it anyways. When a person becomes committed and does good works and bears good fruits as depicted in the bible they do so out of their own heart as Thanks for Jesus for what he has done not so that one can be saved its a very important distinction because you solely change your way of thinking and view your life entirely differently even with that small difference. One thing I've come to understand is that Jesus cares more about bringing people to him to be saved than simply living a life away from as many sins as possible it is one of the only ways to show your own love for him. Go ahead and ask me more things if you need any further clarifications though I'd be happy to share the Wisdom given to me by the Lord

If it's His will and His way, then my emotionally intimate Christian male friend hopefully will become my life partner in marriage, amen.
