Why Christian Single Men Need a Proverbs 31 Wife
11 CommentsMost Christian single men I know frequently whine about their need for a nice Christian wife. Who can blame single Christian men who feel this way? After all, in Proverbs 31:10, our Bible Verse of the Day, Solomon wrote:
“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.”
Christian single men, whether they are college teens or single parents dating, would benefit by checking out this chapter of Scripture. In fact, a Christian single man would be in hog heaven if God blessed him with a lady as the wisest guy in the world decribed her.
Why Christian Single Men Should Seek a Proverbs 31 Woman
Christian single men need #1
He needs to have confidence in his girl of a lifetime (v. 11). This means he can share his heart (this is difficult for many men because of our fears) without worry about gossip or rejection. The male ego is a fragile little thing, ain’t it?
Christian single men need #2
He needs his woman to bring him good and not harm..in good times and bad. (v 12). Some women are able to “love their man” when the going is easy. But how about when the hard knocks of life (and believe me, there will be some) start rolling through?
Christian single men need # 3
A single Christian man would profit by having a woman who can happily and wisely take good care of the household (vs.11-19). By the way, it looks like Solomon would disagree with all those guys who think their wives need to be “barefoot and pregnant at home”.
Christian single men need #4
Men can sometimes be insensitive to the needs of others’ pain. So a guy who has a woman who is compassionate and loving to the less fortunate can help him grow in this area. (v. 20)
Christian single men need #5
Hey guys, You know this is definitely true: You need a wife who takes good care of that marriage bed (You know what Solomon means here, right?), as well as her own personal appearance (v.22). Outward beauty can be deceitful, but Christian single men or any man for that reason, respects a woman who respects herself by looking as good as she can be.
Christian single men need #6
A strong and independent woman (v.25a). A man loves to feel needed by his woman because it fulfills his need to provide. But very few single Christian men are attracted to the high maintenance whiny types.
Christian single men need #7
A woman who can laugh at whatever life brings (v.25b). Life is hard enough without a good sense of humour and positive outlook. This is especially helpful for men because circumstances (like losing a job, for example) can get the best of men a little down.
Christian single men need #8
A woman who can give wise advice and timely counsel (v.26) verifies the statement: “Behind every great man is a great woman.”

Looking to Find a Christian Wife
11 CommentsEver wonder how many single guys out there are actually looking to find a Christian wife? I would think many Christian single women in the market for a husband would be interested in knowing the number of Christian men hoping to find a Christian wife. Well we are too, and that’s one reason why our up and coming singles survey will try to quantify the different number of Christian single men looking to find a Christian wife, those looking to simply find a date and those not seeking a mate or date at all.
Lack of Biblical Guidance on How to Find a Christian Wife
Unfortunately, there is no specific dating advice in the Bible on how to find a wife, and you certainly won’t find dogmatic teaching on this subject. For example, in 1 Corinthians 7:27 Paul writes, “Are you unmarried? Do not look for look to find a wife. But if you do marry, you have not sinned…”
Although there is no “how to find a wife” playbook in the Scriptures, you will find general advice on topics such as waiting on the Lord, that would be applicable in your search to find a Christian wife.
Bible Verse of Day
“He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.”
Proverbs 18:22
Dear Father, we pray for my dear brothers in Christ who are seeking a suitable helpmate. We pray for their peace and strength as they wait on you. I thank you that you promise to provide all of our needs in your perfect time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Christian Single Men and Lust
1 CommentAll Christian single men battle lust of the flesh from time to time. In fact, let’s just make that ALL guys, whether they be single men or married men, Christian or non-Christian. One single man pal of mine said if his girlfriend ever knew his thoughts, she would never stop slapping him! Listen, men struggle with lust, and any single man who says otherwise is just lying out of fear, manipulative motives, embarrassment or a combination of the three.
The reaction of most single women reading the above about single men may vary:
- Some may feel disgusted or discouraged that all single men lust.
- Some may be thinking their single men is not like all the rest they’re dating them (um…dream on)
- Some may feel so uncomfortable discussing the single men and lust topic that they prefer to ignore it by invoking the Too Much Information (TMI) rule when the subject comes up.
Unfortunately, none of the above reactions will help a single gal really understand and connect with a single men, let alone help him in any way.
Single Men Need Help
What Christian single men really need is an environment of open communication and compassionate counsel that will help him nip lust in the bud. The following verse needs to be in practice for single men to have a chance at conquering lust in their lives:
Bible Verse of Day
“Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galations 6:1,2
Unfortunately, since many evangelical churches encourage a culture of denial and secrecy, many single men suffer silently, and receive no help at all. Is it any wonder then, that our churches produce a sad story like Ted Haggard’s?
Hope for the Christian Single Man
Fortunately, single men who are dedicated Christians have it way over all other single men. The first reason for this is that they have a real desire to please Jesus. The second reason for hope is that Christian single men have the Holy Spirit living in them, who also gives them the power to fulfill their godly intentions.
Are you a Christian man who has a problem with lust, but help for you is far and few between? Let’s talk about it.
