To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: Proverbs 1:2-5

Looking For a Spouse
Topic / Prayer
Bible References

You need to be specific when looking for a spouse. You need to be equally yoked to make a successful lifelong marriage. This means you must know what you want in a spouse and look for that in the people you consider dating.

A spouse is more than your partner in marriage. It is that special someone that will meet all of your needs for the rest of your life. You need to know waht is important for you knowing that no one is perfect. Know what you want and pray over it.

Three things I suggest you doing.

First
Write a one-page summary of how you see yourself in 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years if you met the person of your dreams. The details of your document should include: education, profession or job, do you want kids (how many), finances, 2 incomes or 1, wife at home or not, how do you live and where, number of automobiles, who works and when, and standard of living.

Second
Write a one page document describing the traits and characteristics of your future spouse. What you like and dislike. Both steps will help you to define your future.

Third, most important.
Prayer while you are writing these documents for God to give you direction in finding a Godly spouse that fills your heart. Looking and praying for a Godly spouse will insure that your marriage is biblically based and you determine upfront how the "Worldly View" of marriage will NOT affect you in your Christian walk together.

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

What? know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, you are not your own? For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
