I'm the past I dated a woman who was into crystals & such. I can tell you it's a bad idea to date or marry anyone but a devout Christian if you're one.

Not only Christian but make sure they're not lukewarm. I knew another girl who I dated in my teens 14 years ago, she would say dirty things & was only "Christian" by going to church.
I left her because I didn't need temptation. We Christians should never put a stumbling stone in front of anyone.

I find the hard part of finding a woman now that I'm 30 is that so many women aren't devout in their faith, men too of course.

I seek a woman who'd go out with me, but put God before me. If I marry if still want her to love God more than myself. The lack of people who'd do that makes finding a partner very difficult. We should only date Christian people, & they should be devout too.

This world, with it's perverted ways, making God a joke, has caused the amount of fish in the sea to decrease drastically.

But don't despair! Pray that if God wills for you to marry as part of His plan in your life, He'll beat the odds & deliver you to a good partner, eventually a spouse.

So don't be saddened. God can overcome it all & strange a meeting against all the odds! Praise The LORD! For He delivers us through any storm.

I believe this is true in general. It is probably best that two people in a relationship put the same work into and have the same goals for it.

Seems like two people on such a close level would make each other stronger if they were of the same faith.

I understand your point of view but I'm a bit bothered by your narrow mindedness-
"We Christians should never put a stumbling stone in front of anyone."
"We should only date Christian people, & they should be devout too."

I'm a Christian & I'm bothered by your use of the collective "we". I was taught that God loves everyone - that it doesn't matter what color, creed or faith. Didn't Christ welcome everyone?- the sinner, the beggar & the leper, the rich & the poor? No offense but considering Christ's teachings
you viewpoint sounds a bit hypocritical and didactic.

I wouldn’t mind dating someone who wasn’t religious as long as they didn’t talk me out of my or bad about my faith. I also wouldn’t push my faith on them either but if they asked me a religious question I would answer it as honest as I could.

I think that would be easier if there were to be no kids. I think in younger folks who may be wanting to start a family and raise kids together, being on the same page with faith is important in deciding about raising the children together.

That maybe true but with me since I can’t have kids anyway then we don’t have to worry about raising them in faith. Now if he had his own from a previous marriage or relationship then maybe yes as long as he said it was okay, like I said I won’t push my faith on anybody because if you do it sometimes turns them off from it. If they started asking religious like questions then I’d try to answer them the best I can. If you haven’t noticed that certain faiths are ridiculed or percsicuted by radicals all over the world or the media simply because they take a stand for what they believe and yes Jesus said we should and I try to do so by when I can but in a lower profile. Any stand is better then nothing.
