I got an email the other day from a young lady who wanted some Christian courtship advice about how to know whether the guy she is courting is the right person for her.
This was her exact question: How do I know if the guy I am dating right now is the right guy for me? What are the signs to look out for?
I thought the reply I gave her would benefit others also so I decided to post it as an article. If you are also looking for some Christian courtship advice on this same issue then please read my response to her question and it should help you also in, making your decision about whether a guy is right for you or not.
It's not always easy deciding whether the person you are with is definitely the right person and sometimes even when you think they are "the one" things might still not work out.
However, some of the questions you should ask yourself in order to truly know whether you have a real future together with this guy are:
How do I feel about this guy (I'm I really in love with him and can I see myself with him for the rest of my life?)
How does he feel about you? Is he truly in love with you or does he just want a casual relationship?
How does he treat you? Does he respect you, is he courteous? Does he value your opinion?
Are there are alarming things about him? Is he aggressive? Is he violent? Does he have a short temper?
Does he love God and value the word of God, How much importance does he place on obeying the word of God and living by the principles and commandments of the kingdom of God?
Is he open handed or tight fisted? is he a giver? Will he sacrifice and provide for you?
Are you really attracted to him, a lot of Christians try to make this seem unimportant but I believe that attraction matters especially if you are going to get married to someone, it's hard to be sexually intimate with someone you are not attracted to.
Do you know his vision and what he wants to do with his life and are you prepared to support this vision because where ever he decides to go in life is where you will also end up if you marry him and if he has no vision and is going nowhere then that's exactly where you will end up? Also if his vision clashes with some of your goals and things you want to achieve then you need to really decide whether your relationship has a future.
For example, maybe he plans to relocate to another part of the world in the future and you don't particularly want to relocate or maybe he doesn't want children and you do, all these factors really matter and you should base your decision about whether he is right for you on these factors which means that if you don't already know some of his future plans you need to find out.
But most important of all, what do you think God is saying about him, have you prayed and sort Gods voice on whether this guy is right for you. Sometimes a guy might tick all the right boxes but God might still not approve him so make sure you pray and hear God.
Answer these questions honestly and be real with yourself and as you answer them you will begin to see whether he is the right person for you.
