Things you ought to look for in a godly spouse by Alistair Begg
- The man should be committed to growing in his relationship with the Lord. Do not take on a fellow as a discipleship project.
- An individual of obvious integrity. If he cheats on the golf course, he has the potential of cheating anywhere. You need a husband who is honest to the core.
- Lead BOLDLY. A man who can think for himself, weighs option, make good decision and able to discern. An attitude of servanthood.
- Displays the ability to love sacrificially. How does he treat his mom? Aunt? Observe the way he treats strangers and children, etc.
- Husband should be able to laugh heartily. A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
- Husband should model genuine humility. Keep focus on others. Others first. Him last.
Do not be unequally yoked. That means to be unable to pull together, two opposite goals, two incompatible masters to serve, and two radically interpretations of life.
Unbelief allied with belief in Jesus, there can be no real intimacy in matters that really counts.
Two cannot pull together because they truly are not together.
You can cry now because you’ve lost him or you can cry later because you’ve got him.
Listen to him speak on “The Search for a Godly Spouse”. I highly recommend it. Listen while you’re cooking, washing dishes, doing homework, or while surfing the web! Click here .

I thought I had found the right guy. We had been through so much in our lifelong friendship. He told me about his church and surprisingly I found my home. I became saved as did my young son. Unfortunately this wonderful guy changed his mind about an agreement we had and I said something which made him think I didn’t love him unconditionally. What is interesting to me is that I do but I didn’t feel he respected my feelings. I stepped back to give him space and he broke up with me. I have observed over the last year that he has grown farther away in his relationship with God and it troubles me. Maybe things will change between us but I believe this is my time to grow in my love for Jesus. To give Him my all. So while my heart aches and I cry tears for what I thought I had, I know God has more in store for me than I can even imagine. I know that I need to love Him more than any man. That is a lesson for me.
Very encouraging to find Godly bloggers. I believe women will always be the embodiment of beauty and glamour, but more importantly they are the lifeblood of our success as men. You are worth the wait.
I agree Dwain!
thanks for sharing this. i will re-post this on my facebook.. this is a reminder for those who are looking/ waiting for a future spouse. God bless!
My fiance broke my heart when she break our relationship, she told me that she can’t cope with distance relationship after 2yrs and 7mnts of our relationship. I am so confuse and don’t know what to do bcos I love her much.
I so agree! I’m still single, and I’m willing to wait for the right man that God has prepared for me–in His due time it will be done! I shall hurry nor worry. I’m making entries, or somewhat like a first-point-of-view letters to my unknown-future-husband, if you want to read some of these just check it out at my personal blog at: http://jeninesilos.writeforacause.org
Thanks for this post and God bless you all!
Love this message. My hope is that people that is still not married should read this and take it to heart. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely!! It makes me nervous to even think about a Christian…until you see their fruit.
My supposed Christian ex did me a dirty.
Keep your eyes wide open… Look closely at the red flags that are staring you right in the face…whether you want to or not. They are for your protection.
I gave up someone I knew since I was 14 because I tried to follow God and ended u marrying a so called Christian ,and after 22years of marriage did the very same thing he accused me of and cheated on me,and I’ve never meet any other Christian that is any better than the guys of the world.now I have a chance to rekindle with my 1st love so to speak and we r contemplating on a future together,now .which should of been right from the start as far as I am concerned,and no he is ‘nt christian
