I'm guessing the answer to the question is "no" since most husbands I meet aren't mature enough for their wives. As a 40-something-year old, childless, never-married lifelong Christian, I don't even think the question in the title is helpful to young women. I think the better question is: Are you prepared to live a single, childless life of devotion to Jesus? Indefinitely? Are you willing to adopt if childbearing slips beyond your reach? Will you be ok becoming a mother at 30, or 40, or 50 if marriage doesn't present itself until the later decades? Would you be ok adopting as a single mother if not married by similar ages? If the answers are no, no, no, and no, then you'd better start considering these immature men as potential spouses. lol I say this not because it's ideal but because thinking through all the "worst case scenarios" allows people to be realistic rather than grow shocked and disillusioned over time because they were setup for a reality that didn't become theirs. Ultimately, God's concerns are eternal, not temporary, but as Jesus said, He's looking for those who worship in "spirit and truth" (John 4:24). Be HONEST with God and yourself. 💕
Because unless.you are marrying a stranger, you are going to marry your boyfriend, long term or short term. To marry is to manifest the likeness of the relationship between Christ and the Church. That is, if you both are in Christ and seek Him as the #1 focus and motivation in life.
Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
So good!! Been searching for this answer. Thank you guys so much for doing God’s work.
Seriousness about growing in their faith (involvement in church, or discipleship)
help us to be more mature Lord in your wisdom and word

Selfishness has ruined dating: /
Very true
Spouse and Boyfriend, are two different things. Don't mince words, please.
You also forgot, treat their partners with respect and love.
Wages of sin is eternal death why would anyone risk temptation of lust, fornication or masturbation in a boyfriend ? 😅
