Dating and Religion

This always seams to be a big issue in dating, well at least it is for me. I’ve heard many times before from people, “why do you always insist on dating a guy who is of the same faith as you?”, and my answer is this:

In the dating world, isn’t having similar interests always high up there on our lists when it comes down to the opposite sex? If religion is very important to you, don’t you want a partner that shares your same beliefs? Well that’s what it is for me. I’m a strong Christian and love God very much; so yes, I do want to date a Christian guy. God and my Christian faith is VERY important to me and I want to date someone who shares that same belief as I do.

Call me picky or whatever you want; but I only have two big rules for me when it comes down to dating: 1: I would like the man I date to be a Christian, and 2: That he be older then me, but no more then lets say 7 years. That’s it. Now I’m not judge mental at all, I just believe if it’s an important part of your life, then you should share that with your partner.

So just as if you’re looking for your partner to also like sports, the outdoors, going to the movies ect. don’t you think God should be a part of that as well? I’ve seen many relationships with different faiths, and how they are always knocking heads with each other because they both believe in different religions; and unfortunately, they don‘t last very long. Now I have also seen where couples share the same religion, and the head knocking is quite low and they last a lot longer.

God wants us to have a loving relationship with our other half, AND with Him. He created us and what makes us unique and why we have these interests.

So that’s my thought for the day. Sláinte, and God bless! = )
