A man and woman is supposed to come together to do God's will and God's will ALONE. Yes.

Bianca I feel your sentiments as a 53 year old single woman. These men want sex in the body of Christ. Most are not sanctified men, the church and homes (families) failed to develop boys/men due to sin. Mark we have faith otherwise many of us would have disobeyed God years ago and compromised. Caveat: I do not comment to be disrespectful. Scripture does not tell us to date; if applying a biblical (spiritual approach) Men's Support Recovery Groups are needed in the body of Christ in order that they can be healed in their souls (abuse, illicit activity, etc) and be mentored to cultivate a Godly lineage. Applies to females too.

As a man I recognize my need for the Lord, without Him I am no one, working on my areas and dying to myself and fleshy desires everyday. Renewing my mind, focused on growing both spiritually and in my career to be able to provide, protect and lead my future spouse and children. Don’t give up virtuous women, we are out here, fighting the good fight. Trust the Lord, His perfect timing and pray for your future husband. My prayer for my future wife is that she loves the Lord above all things and that when the time comes the Holy Spirit will confirm it to both of us, so that we may glorify Him and fulfill the purpose we were sent to this earth.

Men should wait for marriage, but unfortunately women have already slept with several dudes. A man is more willing to wait for women who have been waiting their whole life, but when women sleep around, men will no longer value them enough to commit to them or wait. That is just the consequences of sin. You can't have several sexual encounters, or a promiscuous past and then later wake up and feel entitled to a Man who values u enough to wait. Natural consequences will still exist.

As a single Christian man, we get frustrated too. Many women on Christian dating sites are not Christian and basically tell me they are looking for a “good guy” because they got burnt on other sites. In addition many other women practice “spiritualism” thinking it’s the same thing. So it gets frustrating weeding through these people. Then you finally meet a Christian woman but she bought into feminism and blames men masculinity for the patriarchy. Or they claim to be “strong and independent” but that is really code for having a bad attitude with lack of self control of their emotions. Which is not strong at all….then when you try to exercise chivalry by opening the door for them and get mocked for it…us men get just as frustrated with the dating process….I didn’t even get started on how they ask for your financial status on the first date!

The world is corrupted by Satan and "his" rules and unfortunately women have got it wrong completely when they say "I don't need a man".. whilst the world may have gained a lot for women's freedoms we are truly poorer for having lost so much in not allowing men to be real men!!

Thinking of her obsessively, feeling her presence when she's not there, many dreams of her this is the devil that does this to keep you sad and chained to what was than moving forward. The bible says in Romans 8:1 : Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, meaning you shouldn't feel condemned after already asking for forgiveness. God doesn't operate like this where your begging for forgiveness. YOU ARE HIS SON THAT HE LOVES. You have no idea who God is going to bless you with once you give this pain and person over to him and for real let it go. Its not a magic trick but its constantly asking God to help you move forward and thanking God for a new beginning and you will eventually wake up and not think of them anymore. There is no one that has left your life that God wouldn't replace that is 10x better TRUST ME! You are in a place now where you need to #1: Break the soul tie bond created for her as an idol in place of God #2: Get into Godly self loving yourself. Get into your Word so that your identity can be rooted in Christ. #3 Speak Scriptures over yourself because God says he has called you fearfully and wonderfully made. With this you are on the step to be the best you that You can be. EVERYONE MAKES MISYAKES, but we gotta get back up again!

The one thing that stood out to me was that the godly women and godly men are not recognizing each other. The Bible says "By their works you will know them..." We need to pay attention to what people do and not as much to what people say. I can say "I am a godly man," but if I act like an ungodly man, I am an ungodly man. The same is true of women, how we behave says more than what we profess.

I’ll add some personal practical advice as a Christian man: - Refrain from being overly picky in trivial areas with men - Try to stop rejecting good suitors so frequently.. beware of holding out for a “better deal” - Beware of heavily pursuing a career in replacement of looking for a spouse… it gets harder for women to find good quality partners as they get older - Reject cultural doctrines that conflict with biblical teaching (feminism etc) This repels Christian men instantly. - Develop feminine attributes if needed. Our cultural pushes women to be masculine & men to be feminine. Reject this wholeheartedly - Beware of who you draw influence from. Do you have more cultural voices influencing you than biblical voices? Who are your friends? Are they a good influence? - Of course, follow everything Mark said in this video😎

They're not being honest, & they're time wasters. Having a girlfriend gives them greater status, & that may be their motive to have you around. So selfish. I don't know what else is wrong with them, I mean why would you date someone you don't find attractive? Or do they have LGBTQ issues they may be trying to hide? Maybe, with some. In my '60's now, I'd advise any woman to just stop such a relationship.

AMEN ‼️ Thank you so much for sharing. This topic isn't discussed in the church. Singleness isn't a highly talked about topic in the church. Marriage is a blessing and a ministry but singleness is as well. Once a woman/man makes the choice to follow Jesus there's a new way. Learning to date, seek a husband/wife. The process of learning what waiting on the Lord while praying needs to be taught about in a depth way. The biblical word about not being unequally yoked should has been said and is true but teaching on the topic helps the full body function in the order the Lord wants us to. This was so good .

God bless!

This video was so good, spot on, and timely. Thank you, Mark! I find in my singleness that my faithfulness to the Word of God makes a difference. If I can't be faithful now, how can I be faithful in a marriage? I have given up a selfish act that has given me instant pleasure that many young men struggle with, and I decided that instead of filling God's ears with endless requests for a spouse, I am going to be faithful now and trust in Him. Right now, it is very hard to find Godly young women. So many seem full of themselves, and focused on being comfortable in life rather than fully taking the narrow road which is life under Him. I might also be seeing mainly this because of my circles - people of the Mennonite faith. Anyhow, I would encourage everyone to wait upon God and allow Him to give you direction as far as how your life should go, and who you should marry one day. Be loving no matter what. There is peace in being obedient and being where God wants you to be. Stripping ourselves of our selfish desires is worth it! Again, great video!

Thank you for giving deeper insight on the view of the characteristics of a Godly man, outside of church view. I’ve been in prayer and obedience to the refinement and clarity as a Kingdom woman. Living in the world, not of the world. I pray that God continues to build us up to glorify Him 🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️✨ Live with God’s light, daily!!

I will wait for God's timing. Each time I hear that single women, why stay at home and expect your husband to find you. As if we need to put ourselves "out there" to actually meet your spouse from God. You see some women overdoing their visits to places unnecessarily but I may be wrong. I realise that nomatter what we do or don't do, no matter where we are or are not, I believe we will meet when God says it is the right time. Afterall, singlehood is too a gift from God to focus on Him. I see a lot of people do otherwise and it can be misleading. I pray for a good man from God. That's all. Thank you AGW for this video. Feeling blessed😇

Great video. You express some intensity that bordered on frustration. I like it. Isn't there a shortage of Christians, period? That makes it tough for us all. Great advice to get out in the Kingdom to serve.

Yup, hard all the way around . . . just tried to focus on this specific issue for this video. So glad you found it useful :)

Wow! Thank you for this video Mark! I am a fairly new widow, & was married once for 32 yrs & miss him very much. I don't get out, at all, not even church, only online & you don't meet anyone that way, but I haven't really been interested either. 🤷‍♀️ I believe that when I do get where I feel He wants me to go, nearer to my sisters in another state, maybe "the one" will be there somewhere!? But masculinity has been under attack for decades now & most marriages don't last either so most young ppl don't have good role model & have very little idea what putting another's needs before your own even looks like! Anyway.. I know that was very flawed comment, but anyway I do enjoy & thank you for your work & faithfulness! Grace & Peace ✌️ 💜

...working. These guys are at work. They have that old puritan work ethic, for the Glory of God.

Many great points here, Mark. Thanks for a longer video. I think it would be good to see you on a panel with some other ministers at some point like what Isaiah Saldivar, Vlad Savchuk and even Matt Walsh do at times, to share your experience on the Word, life and ministry. I feel there's an absence voices and experience like yours and for those that are already there they often seem to come from similar expressions of the faith which becomes limiting. Your time on missions in Liberia would be interesting to hear more about. Unless people were surfing the web looking for advice on relationships I think it would be difficult to come across your ministry, and the wealth of knowledge you have about the Bible and living for Christ in this modern, secular society. This is a shame because there's so much more than just Godly relationship guidance here but, I understand, it's a big corner to paint...what about the other parts of the "room" though? I believe you do sincerely consider your impact and visibility, Mark, but I hope you will, at some point, diversify your mediums and platforms. I really believe in and have really received from your God-given gift, but perhaps the laser focus needs to be more of a torch? Sincere regards and may God keep blessing the work of your heart, soul and strength.

Yes, so true, the "wait on God" is real! However, after witnessing so many failed relationships AND marriages it is worth the wait forthe right person God has for me (you).

The most wonderful dating advice video on the internet. Such great wisdom. I am finding what's working for me is trusting in God with all my heart and soul -- God always provides. I've also asked our Lord Father to please give me the extra energy and pep to get out into the world more. Now I'm doing more sports and hobbies, reading the Bible daily, praying and being very intentional and specific with that, as well as increasing my service in the community, serving my family, and unabashedly basking in my wholesome feminine energy. I'm also surrounding myself with women who love their spouse and kids, love God, and have good, decent, wise things to say. I guess I'm trying to do all this so God actually has something to work with. Haha! I really don't deserve God's ministrations if I'm at home in my pjs watching Netflix all weekend pouring emotion into a character that doesn't exist! Now I pray for the gift of discernment so I may chose wisely for it's raining Godly men. Thank you God for this season of abundance. Glory to you always.

It just doesn’t seem possible to keep hoping for marriage after reaching your fifties and never married. It’s such a disappointment I can’t even explain it. Prolonged hoping and unfulfilled expectations are very damaging somehow.

Love the video!! Keep up the good work! Could you make for Christian guys asking where all the Christian gals are?🙌

Just to add my two cents - as a Christian man trying to live a godly life and also looking for a partner, just remember that the fact that you waited for the right man is going to make you attractive to the right man. For example, I can hardly imagine marrying someone who didn't wait until marriage and decided to date godless men, etc. Of course with God there is forgiveness and he can make me see past it, but I think the devil just wants us to lose our purity. Staying pure and strong with your convictions, without compromise, is going to make you more attractive to the right person. Also, it gives godless men less options. It frustrates me that so many women seem to compromise and just put up with men that treat them bad, bad boys, etc. Men will rise to a higher standard if they are held to it.

@@horschiday9449 It makes me really sad that guys try to get you to lower your standards instead of being willing to work on themselves. It's also far from the what the Bible teaches, we are called to sanctification through the transforming process of the Holy Spirit. I was recently in a relationship (my first at 26) and one thing that attracted me to this person was the fact that she wasn't even looking. She told me later she had had some interest in me for a while, but she never pursued me in that way. She was so grateful for just our friendship at the time. We did decide not to go further in the end because for us both the ultimate goal of a relationship is marriage and we didn't see a fit, but I can't stress how attractive it was to see someone who is not desperate, trusting God fully and also innocent when it comes to love. I decided now that instead of being in a state of "looking", I just want to embrace my singleness fully until God shows me a person that he wants me to pursue, even if it's never. My standards are also really high I would say, and I've kind of come to terms with the fact that I might just end up alone as a result, although of course I continue to ask God to bring the right person into my life. It's really encouring to see others in this position who choose to stay true to their convictions, so thank you. And I will pray for you 🙏

Such a great video 🙏

Wow, great advice!! 💯

I have so much appreciation for this message. Im a single woman trusting God to unite me with my Godly husband. The Lord told me a few years ago. "Im giving you a brand new fresh start". Ive been through so much drama starting my life the wrong way. I had to go through some serious refining fire. God showed me who i am, and the kind of woman He desires me to be, and what my husband needs. Ive been pure 5years and have no desire to belittle myself for wordly living ever again. I praise God for showing me the truth and delivering me from the worlds lies and ways. I have no time to search, none. Im completely trusting God for this connection. Im from Wisconsin, I love doing things outside.

Hi thanks for your advice God bless you

Mark thank you so much for this amazing video ❤ Point 6 is extremely important!

Great video! I like how you addressed Proverbs 18:22. A Godly man should be active in seeking a Godly wife, but a Godly woman should also be active in seeking a Godly husband. I think the book of Ruth, especially toward the end of the book, demonstrates a Godly woman (Godly women) taking action.

Changed my eco chamber to push my faith. You start to radiate your beliefs. So. Thanks.

I appreciate this message a lot! I am currently struggling right now with knowing how to be inviting & with what I should do because it’s always been emphasized in church that the man was made to pursue the woman… in the past, I played too much of the initiator in the relationship. I don’t want to overdo it but I also don’t want to come across as not interested. I imagine it takes some practice.

It’s so hard to date today as a Christian woman. I just schooled myself and leaned how to date again. I learned to pray to God for what I need and want. God spoke to me and told me: “Don’t chase. Let them chase you. Just serve me in the meantime”. That’s what I am doing. If it’s God’s will for my life, a husband will find me. In the interim I will remain single. Singleness is not a curse. Paul said so. Thank you for this video. I’ve been watching for the past few years. I love your content.

Yes God's Holy Word states "... a man that finds a wife finds a good thing..." Not a woman who finds a husband. If the man doesn't pursue, he's definitely not the one for you and it's not in a position to be The Godly spiritual leader and head that a husband is called to be in Jesus, at that time. Sounds like you are wise and going about it the right way. May the Lord bless and keep you and reveal your Boaz(maybe not so much older than you lol) at the most appropriate time.

Hi Chris, thank you. Years ago, living elsewhere in the UK I had 5 christian male friends. We were all in the same church. I was a bit closer to one, & told him from the outset it was just friends. We had a v healthy friendship. In the same bible study group, he used to walk me home afterwards when it was dark earlier. I visited him occasionally. He'd make a coffee, & we'd watch his Star Trek videos! Once I sat patiently, while he cleaned out the fish tank! The others - we mainly mixed with in a large walking group once a month or so. It was a v refreshing situation, & they treated me & other single women with respect, & vice versa. I'm so glad this is possible. I really value men who show us kindness, and I enjoy encouraging those who do, such as if a man opens a door for me. Lesson learned: enjoy the friendships you've got while you're waiting for someone suitable. Thank you again, and God bless.

*EDIT* Men can benefit from this video as well. I'm going to tailor it to my situation and improve in any areas I may be lacking in. However, I do still want to share this from the perspective of a Godly man who is looking to find a Christian woman. God bless! PLEASE make one of these for men! I think there is a misconception that because men have been increasingly leaving the church, they are not of the faith. Most professing Christians erroneously believe that religious practices are their salvation and equate church-going with Christianity. However, my issue is finding women that are Christian. I mean women that believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins. And when I do, they severely lack the fruit-bearing that needs to follow. For example, I have met Christian professing, church-going women that RUN whenever I mention celibacy or anything that signifies a God-led relationship. They applaud my faith yet ghost me once they realize how serious I am about it. The women that SAY they want a Godly man don't even give me the chance to show them what a Godly relationship should look like with a Godly man. I praise God for revealing the true intentions of said women. But this is something that I think a lot of Christian men are going through. And the only people addressing men's issues in dating are secular dating gurus that make these men worse off. I thank God for your platform in this regard, and I hope more Christian men find you as I did. There are plenty of Christian, devoted single men such as myself. And we feel the same way as the women do because the women who say they want Godly men often prove otherwise by the fruit they bear. They seem to want the "bad boy" that they can turn into a "churchman," not the Christian man who is ready to lead through God. It's baffling, and I think we need to address it. Because it makes no logical sense to complain, get what you say you want, and then dismiss it because you're "not ready." Again, I praise God for revealing the true intentions of the women I've dealt with in this regard. But men are going through this as well. And I hope you make a video for men because I desire to be married, and it's hard to find a fruit-bearing Christian woman.
