How Can Match Help You Find Christian Singles Near You To Start Dating?
Match helps singles find and build meaningful, solid and long lasting relationships and different people have different obligatory requirements. For some, a meaningful relationship starts with a strong foundation which comes from shared faith and dedication to God. As we all know, however, shared faith doesn’t always mean shared values and interests but thanks to Match you’ll be able to find a fellow Christian partner who is into many of the same things you are both within and outside of religion. Many Christians are looking for long lasting, serious relationships which can lead to marriage, whether that’s their personal belief or the belief of their own church. Starting off the dating process with this shared goal in mind helps to start on mutually understood footing. Equally, if romance is not found after a few dates then a friendship can be built with someone who lives locally to you and shares in your Christian faith.
As a member of Match, you also benefit from having more ways to date. You can use the free website to find Christian singles, browse using the mobile app, and even register for Match nights and events, giving you different opportunities to start your Christian dating journey.
As the Bible itself says; “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs” 1 Corinthians 13:4-5.
What types of Christians are on Match.com?
Match caters to all denominations and each individual will naturally live a different Christian lifestyle. As we know, our own relationships with God are all beautiful and unique. Of course, most of the singles follow the Christian faith in some form. They’ve either been baptised or follow the teachings of Christ and the Bible. But how often they attend church, pray and assimilate Christianity into their lives will vary and depend on the individual. However, Match allows you to specify many factors when filling out your criteria in hope to find a match.
We’re not just here for traditional religious people either, Match can help you find someone who shares in your faith without the restrictions of institutionalised religion too. It can be hard to start new relationships with people who believe in God but don’t always make it to church, or people who best suit you and the way that you live your life.
If you’re a younger Christian looking to date, you might be struggling with outside pressure for acceptance. From friends, family and your community there can be a pressure to fit in to the archetypical Christian roles that have traditionally been a part of faith. But here at Match we know that you’re wise enough to undertake your own dating journey, find people who share your beliefs and find users that you really like. Being a Christian doesn’t exclude you from being yourself, in fact, it’s a part of who you are! Your faith in God is important to you, and dating Christian singles (whether that’s men, women or someone else), we trust you to know yourself best when using our Match website and app. You can be a single parent, divorcee or looking for someone with a different gender identity, we are here to advise and assist in your Christian dating journey.
Online Christian dating apps and sites can be a scary place! Members can often be intimidating in their confidence about their faith, but at Match we support people who believe but aren’t always looking for a defined relationship, or aren’t looking to rush things. Just because you’re a Christian doesn’t mean you want to marry every single lover of God who uses an online dating website! So if you want to find singles who identify as religious but aren’t always talking about how much they love God, we’re here to help you too.
The challenges of Christian dating
In a world where casual relationships are growing more popular, it can be hard, especially for young Christians, to find a match with shared values. One being saving themselves for marriage. This is the beauty of Christian online dating, you can tailor your criteria when looking for a match and once you find one, these shared values can be discovered over message or on the first date. Just find someone who catches your eye, start chatting and perhaps even dating! Nevertheless, since there are many Christians choosing to mould their Christianity to a more modern lifestyle, it’s always important to do what you feel comfortable with. While your relationship is important, you shouldn’t feel pressured into doing anything that puts you at odds with your faith. If your partner really cares about you, they will respect your decisions.
How to enjoy a Christian relationship in the 2020s
Sometimes, being a member of the Church in 2020s Britain can feel more and more isolating. Church attendance declined from 6.5 million in 1981 to 3 million in 2015 with the younger demographic being the most likely to turn away from Christian faith. This has led to societal collective thought which suggests that all Christians – including the young – have outdated, close-minded beliefs. Luckily, this is not the truth and many young people are choosing to live a more open-minded Christian lifestyle in a world that embraces modernity and science while also developing a strong connection with God. There are also several young homosexual Christians demonstrating the beauty of diversity within faith and interpretations of scripture. Match.com supports all types of Christian lifestyles and finding an open-minded and devoted Christian single isn’t too far along down the road of dating.
