The Search for a Godly Spouse

My sister sent me an e-mail link to a summary of Focus on the Family's daily radio broadcast about an interesting topic we all should think about: what to look for in a godly spouse. This resource is wonderful for me because I'm currently dating someone, and I will need to use this measuring stick to evaluate her (and all other women if this one doesn't work out) in order to discover if she is "the one."

Women: the man you someday marry should...

  • Be continually growing closer to Jesus Christ
  • Demonstrate integrity
  • Be a bold leader
  • Love sacrificially
  • Laugh heartily, especially at himself
  • Model genuine humility

Men: the woman you someday marry should...

  • Have a personal faith in Jesus Christ
  • Possess inner beauty, not just outer
  • Be an initiative taker and have an attitude of submission
  • Be a wife who will help build her husband's confidence
  • Display kindness
  • Have a sense of humor
