Scriptural Mandates:
- Is the person a believer who fears God (Prov. 31:30) and who is biblically eligible for marriage (Mark 10:11-12)?
- How do they handle their money (Prov. 31:16, 18)?
- Is this person a hard worker (Prov. 13:4; 26:13-15)?
- Do they live an upright life (Prov. 13:6, 20; 25:28)?
- Does this person wound people with their words, or are they an encourager (Prov. 12:18; 18:21)?
- Are they peaceful, or are they quarrelsome (Prov. 17:19; 29:8)?
Prayer:
- Rejecting the notion that God creates one person just for us doesn’t discount the reality that God can lead us toward someone and help us make a wise choice when we seek Him in prayer. We want to surrender to God’s providence by seeking and using the gift of wisdom, applied learning, and rational understanding.
