John and Kelly live thousands of miles apart--he in Nebraska, she in Pennsylvania. However, despite the miles they have lots of things in common. Both work in retail, both love outdoor activities, both enjoy Chinese food---most importantly, both John and Kelly share a deep faith in God and attend the same type of church. They are a perfect match for each other. Fifteen years ago, John and Kelly would probably have never met. However, this year they met on a Christian matchmaking site. How did they do it? First they set up a profile, then searched for personality traits and qualities they were looking for in a mate. John was able to contact Kelly via the website's message service. Kelly looked at John's profile, saw that he met her qualifications, then wrote him back. The rest, as they say, is history. . .John and Kelly were married last summer. Online Christian dating can work for you too. Here are some of the main reasons online dating works: 1. Looks don't matter as much. Some profiles have a few photos. Many profiles don't even have pictures. Imagine a love based on mutual understanding and interest rather than first physical impressions! 2. Location isn't a problem. If you live in a country village with a population of 50, of which all eligible singles are dating, don't worry about it! Now it is possible to meet someone across the United States or even in another country who shares your commitment to Christ, and has qualities you are looking for! 3. You can limit your search to believers. As Scripture says "be not unequally yoked." Utilizing good Christian dating services is a way to make sure you are only dating fellow Christians. 4. You can talk to people anytime! Even if you work and go to school, you can still go online late at night or in the wee hours of the morning to try to find that special someone. 5. There are a lot of options! Online Christian dating has become extremely popular. Many of the Christian dating websites offer trial subscriptions at no cost to you. Most have thousands of members to choose from. Don't wait! Now is the time to start the search for your life-long love. Pray for guidance, sign up on some Christian dating sites, then get dating! |
