Divorce and remarriage is a hot issue in many evangelical churches, because many Christian singles have been through a divorce. Needless to say, many Christians are confused when it comes to the issue of divorce and remarriage.
Divorce and Remarriage Teachings
What are the biblical grounds for divorce anyway? Does God speak against divorce and remarriage in all circumstances? If divorce is justified in certain situations? When is dating after divorce okay? Do the rules change if you are a Christian single parent dating with kids? These are only some of the questions Christian have pertaining to the divorce and remarriage conflict.
Divorce and Remarriage Podcast
In our Christian dating Service PLUS podcast of the week, Pastor John Minnema, of Hawthorne Gospel Church in Hawthorne, NJ, tackles some of the difficult issue of divorce and remarriage, speaking out of the book of Genesis.
By the way, if you have a church, singles/dating ministry site, para-church group or college campus outreach,lwe will help you reach more singles by podcasting your Christian singles group’s message, music or video, with a credited link back to your address. If you only have tapes or CDs, we will convert that for you into an MP3 format for broadcasting. For more info about this free service, please feel free to contact us.

Conversation starter skills are a must if you don’t want to bore your date half to death. Almost every Christian single person has had that sinking feeling that they were losing their date’s interest while conversing with them.
Singles with good conversation starter and communication skills are successful at keeping their dates fascinated and involved because they do do two simple things very well:
- They avoid so called conversation starters that bore or annoy him or her
- They develop their own conversation starter skills with their date by determining what makes them perk up
Conversation Starter Tips: What To Avoid-Or at Least Go Easy On
One of the purposes of dating is to have conversations with the other person to determine whether or not the other person is your true love or dating match.
While it’s important to have easy flowing conversation starters, take care when speaking with your date about the following topics:
Health Issues
If you’re thinking this is a good conversation starter, forgettaboutit! While you may gain some sympathy in the short run, as a hypochondriac I can tell you from expereince that you will inevitably turn your date off as you rattle off your litany of ills.
Of course, serious health concerns can and should be shared at the proper time, but do we really need to know about the runs you had last night? You get the point.
Ex Anythings
Nothing bores a date quicker, but this failed “conversation starter” is a perrenial favourite of many, to their own demise. Not only is this a major turn off, if gives the impression they are dealing with a rebound dater. Bad. Very bad.
The Bible
I may get stoned for this, so if you don’t see this site tomorrow you know what happened. Look, incessant Bible quoting during a date is boring and obnoxious. Now I’m not talking about heart felt sharing about your faith, or deep and interesting theological discussions that bring up the Scriptures.
I am speaking about the stooges who have to pepper in Bible quotations during every conversation. Here’s an example:”Praise the Lord, this food tastes great. Hey, could you pass that salt? Speaking of salt, did you know in Matthew 5:13 Jesus states that you are the salt of the earth?” Please don’t…it’s not attractive.
Gossip
Ever been around someone who had negative things to say about someone else when they weren’t around? Human nature being what it is, you may be tempted to use gossip as a conversation starter with your date. Don’t do it. Besides being unpleasing to the Lord, your date may begin to wonder what kinds of things you tell others about her when she’s not around. Get it?
No single person, male or female, has it all together when it comes to conversation starters. If you don’t confident in this area, just remember learning how to start a conversation with the opposite sex in learning process.

Christian Chatrooms are locations on the web where Christian singles can chat or converse with other singles. In a mood for a nice Christian chat? In a Christian chatroom, one can find a date, share prayer requests or just have some fellowship.
Many Christian dating services, including Christian Cafe and Christian Mingle have Christian chatrooms on their sites as a free service to both their free trial and paid members. Since there are literally hundreds of Christian chat rooms online (see some of our favorite Christian chatrooms below), we thought it important remind singles about how to make your chatroom experience more positive.
Christian Chatroom Tips for Singles
Christian Chatroom Tip 1: Diversify
This Christian chatroom tip is the same advice we give for those singles interested in using an online Christian dating service. Christian chatrooms are great places to find compatible singles for dating relationships. However, each Christian chatroom offers a different twist or benefit.
Therefore, our recommendation is to try out a number to try out a number of Christian chatrooms in order to see which ones fit your needs.
Christian Chatroom Tip 2: Know the Rules of the Chat Game
Every Christian chatroom operates differently, and each has their own form of online etiquette. Therefore, in order to increase your chance for a positve experience, try first reading each sites’s FAQs before using that particular Christian chatroom or forum.
For example, some Christian chatrooms offer only public discussion chats, while others allow for private one-on-one conversations. Additionally, some Christian chatrooms are moderated by the the chatroom owners, and have specified topics, while others are a free for all. Bottom line: Knowing how each Christian chatroom operates before diving in head first will help you get what you are seeking faster.
Christian Chatroom Tip 3: Enter with Something to Chat About
There are quite a few singles who feel Christian chatrooms are a total waste of time. However, many of these folks have had bad expereinces because they never learned how to converse in a Christian chatroom. While this article on good conversation starter tips does not totally apply to Christian chatrooms, you might find it quite helpful. As one single girl recently told me, “Nothing is quite as annoying, boring and depressing than people who pop in with nothing to say.”
Christian Chatroom Tip 4: Think Safety First.
We are referring to two different types of safety. The first has to do with maintaining your personal online safety while using online dating tools like a Christian chatroom.In this regard, knowing something about email etiquette and safety tips will also help you in Christian chatrooms.
The second has to do with protecting your computer. Beware of attachments that may contain viruses or spyware. If you feel a need to accept an attachment from someone in a Christian chatroom, run it through a virus scan. I can’t tell you the number of bugs I picked up in chatrooms.
Christian Chatroom Tip 5: Remember You have a Life Offline
Christian chatrooms, like much if the internet, can be highly addicting. If you find yourself shirking your real life responsibilities, limit your Christian chatroom time by scheduling set times for going online.

Is is true love or simple physical attraction and lust? What are true love signs for Christian singles dating? How do you know you’ve found your “true love” of a life time?
Is It True Love?
The following true love prerequisites will help you gauge whether or not this person is “the one”:
True Love: The relationship causes both parties to grow closer to Jesus
True Love: There is implicit trust and no fear of being vulnerable
True Love: The couple has great communication with each other
True Love: Neither party doubts the truthfulness of the other
True Love: True love waits for sexual intimacy. Intense physical
attraction, but neither party defrauds the other (1 Thes. 4:6,7)
True Love: When there are disagreements (if you never had any, someone’s
not being real), the daters have learned how to argue,
but still remain close
True Love: There is no jealousy or controlling behavior.
True Love: Family members and friends confirm and approve of the dating relationship.
Closing True Love Thoughts
Of course, the above is not an exhaustive list of true love signs, but is useful in helping singles assess the potential of a true love match.
Is there such a thing as one true love, or can there be a number of “true loves” in one’e life?

Dating match? When most Christian singles use the term, “dating match”, they are referring to a soul mate, that person with whom they feel they can spend the rest of their lives. Many have the following question when it comes to the topic of a dating match:
- How do I go about finding my dating match?
This is an important dating question, which doesn’t come with any easy answers. However, if you are seeking your dating match, the following may help you along in the process.
Dating Match Checklist
Dating Match Tip 1: Get Your Own Stuff Together
This must be your first step toward finding your dating match. You’ve probably heard it before: “Before you can attract the right person (your dating match), you have to be the right person.” It sounds corny and old, but it’s really true. Think about it. If you don’t know who you are as far as what makes you tick, and/or you’re not comfortable with who are, are you in any condition to meet your dating match? Don’t even go there. You already know the answer. 
Dating Match Tip 2: Cast Your Vision
This means envisioning your dating match by making a list of attributes of what you’re looking for in a dating match including looks, emotional make-up, spiritutal maturity, age, occupation, location, etc. Include your family and friends as you gather data because they will ensure realistic objectivity.
Dating Match Tip 3: Pursue Your Goal, Taking Risks by Faith
Your goal is to meet your dating match of a lifetime. Although there are many ways single Christians can meet each other, oftentimes this entails putting ourselves in a vulnerable position. If this includes using an online Christian dating service, make sure you do it the right way. As a side note, if you’re confused over the issue of how one can wait on the Lord and pursue your dating match goal simultaneously, read this.
In a forthcoming article, we will share how you will know it when you are dating your match. Are you a Christian single with something to share regarding your dating match?

One can find Christian dating advice all over the internet. The problem is that the “Christian dating advice” you get on the web may not be from a morally reputable dating site.
