I hesitate to write this article because what I’m going to say can be easily misapplied. While I’m not going to advocate for anything unbiblical, I will suggest some things that could lead to temptation if the man and woman are not wise.

What does Matthew 6:33 mean? And how should Matthew 6:33 be used by Christian singles who are seeking a spouse?
Last week I wrote an article called 4 Reasons You Should Not Put God First to Find a Spouse. In that article, I explained that when we put God first to get something from God, we’re not actually putting God first.

What I’m about to say is going to come off as unbiblical at first. So please read this whole article to get the full context of what I’m really saying. If you do, I believe you will better enjoy your Christian singleness and be better situated to find a Christian spouse. Alright, here it goes:

While feelings should not be our primary guide in life, when it comes to meeting the person God wants you to marry, they are “a” variable we need to consider.
The Scriptures and observable facts in reality should be given more weight when making relationship decisions. However, Scripture itself states that marriage is not a command. Rather, it is a biblical option for those who want it. Thus, you should be aware of your own feelings if you really want to know who God is leading you to marry or not marry.

If you’re a Christian man and you believe a woman may be interested in you, what should you actually do? Should you wait for her to make the first move? Should you immediately pursue her? Or will that come off as desperate? Will you scare her away if you act too soon or miss your chance if you wait too long? Should you just “let things happen naturally” or be more proactive?
