Many Christians feel that it’s wrong to stand up to rude people, as though the Bible somehow forbids us from defending ourselves from disrespectful behavior. Nothing could be further from the truth.

After years of helping Christian singles with relationships, I’ve had thousands of interactions via comments, emails, coaching, book reviews, Q&As, and in-person interactions. And what I’ve learned is that everyone certainly has a unique story. However, if I had to choose the top 3 most common reasons why some Christians struggle to get into relationships, here’s how I would answer that.

There are not a ton of godly women walking around just waiting to be pursued by a godly man. Ironically, however, there are a lot of women who think they are godly and who think they want a godly man to pursue, but in reality, this type of woman is very hard to find . . . but not impossible!

Perhaps you finally met someone who you were excited about, but then it ended before it really even had a chance to begin. Or maybe you thought your boyfriend or girlfriend was the one, but all of a sudden, they broke up with you. Or perhaps you had deep feelings for a friend that you thought you would date one day, but they just entered into a new relationship with someone else.

Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.”
When the favor of the Lord is upon you, it doesn’t mean ease and a comfortable life. Rather, it means God will use you in powerful ways for his purposes. And God has designed most men to be most effective with a godly woman by their side (Genesis 2:18).
Therefore, here are four biblical marks of a woman sent by God to help you grow.

When someone was sent by Satan to rob your peace, it won’t be as obvious as you might think. In fact, there might even be some healthy parts about this person that you really admire. But that’s a part of Satan’s ploy. He will tempt you to ignore the poison this person is injecting into your life because there is a little good, too.
