Singles often pursue relationships based on attraction, charisma, or temporary chemistry. While these can spark interest, they are not the measure of a God-centered marriage. Alignment is key: shared values, faith, and purpose are what sustain a lifelong union. Scripture teaches, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14). Seek someone whose life and calling resonate with yours so Jesus is glorified in every step you take together.
Dating is the season to evaluate alignment, not just infatuation. Ask: Does this person love God wholeheartedly? Do they demonstrate fruit of the Spirit? Are they walking in their calling? God desires that your relationship is a partnership in kingdom work, where both of you grow in Christ together.
When attraction is prioritized over alignment, relationships often falter under the weight of incompatible visions or values. Singles must learn to discern spiritual and emotional compatibility, recognizing that God’s design for marriage is covenantal, not casual. Prayer and reflection will reveal whether your desires match His blueprint for your life.
Ultimately, alignment glorifies Jesus because it creates a foundation for partnership in ministry, family, and purpose. When two God-aligned lives unite, their marriage becomes a testimony, a living example of God’s faithfulness and wisdom.
