Here are 6 women that Christian men should avoid
dating and most certainly, consider for marriage.
Follow up to the article ( 6 Men Christian Women
Should Avoid )
1. A Woman Who Doesn’t Believe
This is the most important factor of all. Since we
are commanded to not be unequally yoked with
non-believers, then how much more so should a
man not even consider dating someone who doesn’t
believe (2 Cor 6:14)? A Christian man should never
consider dating an unbeliever, just as no woman
should ever think about dating a non-believing man.
It’s foolish to think that you can date her and lead
her to saving faith in Christ. This could certainly
backfire on you.
2. Women Who Don’t Put God First
This may be one of the greatest factors for men to
consider in not dating a woman. If a woman never
puts God first, then she may be putting herself first.
If she doesn’t put God first then she’ll likely have
you way down on her priority list too. No woman or
man for that matter should ever be dated who
doesn’t seek God and His kingdom first and
foremost (Matt 6:33).
3. Women Who Don’t Like Children
Men should avoid dating any woman who doesn’t
like children because what happens if this
arrangement leads to marriage and later on, there
are children born into your family. You can sense
how she might be around children in church or in
public but you can also tell by her regard for
children in general, during conversations. There is
nothing more revealing about a person’s character
than in the way that they react to children when
encountered.
4. Women who don’t Pray
If you are considering dating a woman but have
never had any inclination that this woman prays,
then this could be a sign that she would not be a
good match for you. I believe that prayer is the
pulse of the believer’s spiritual life and if there is no
prayer, there is no pulse.
5. Women who Speak ill of their Parents
Do you know how this woman treats her mother?
How does she speak about her father? Is there a
good relationship with her parents? If you have
started to date or are considering dating a woman,
first meet her parents or ask her about her parents
and see how she speaks about them? If there is no
natural respect or love for her parents, maybe you
could ask her why. No one has perfect parents of
course but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t still
try to honor them.
6. Women with Warning Signs
Another type of woman who men should not
consider dating is one that drinks in excess or has
a substance abuse problem. There are warning
signs that are sometimes present like drinking early
in the day or taking an inordinate amount of pills,
even if they are prescribed. She may have a valid
reason for taking medicine but if you sense in your
heart that something is wrong ask her why she
might be taking certain medications and ask why
she has to do so. There is nothing wrong with
asking someone you are considering dating a few
questions if you have concerns. A woman who’s
not trying to hide anything shouldn’t have any
hesitations in addressing your concerns.
Conclusion
Before a man dates any woman, be as sure as you
can be that she’s been born again and has shown
fruits of conversion (John 15). Dating can often lead
to marriage but no marriage is always better than a
bad one because it could lead to a potential divorce
and God never intended for a man and a woman to
divorce but to marry until death do they part.
