Christian Relationship Advice for Singles
Many singles contact us for Christian relationship advice, often asking questions like, “Should I get out of this relationship?” or “Should I leave this person?” Many times, however, Christian relationship advice is hard to give on issues like these because we don’t have all the information on the involved parties. Also, when dishing out Christian relationship advice, I’ve learned a long time ago to get both sides of the story before giving any advice on a topic.
Christian Relationship Advice in the Bible
Perhaps most important of all, specific Christian relationship advice on dating and issues related to singles is rarely found in the Scriptures. So what kind of Christian relationship advice do we offer?
First, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you have the Holy Spirit, the counselor of truth, abiding in you. He promises to guide you and lead in all areas, including helping you make wise decisions regarding relationships. In our Bible verse of the day, James 1:5 reads:
“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”
Secondly, we have written a number of general Christian relationship advice articles dealing with the Christian singles life. These articles may be useful for Christians seeking general Chrisrtian relationship advice. For example:
Christian Relationship Advice on Breaking Up

Christian Relationship Advice After Suffering Rejection
Christian Relationship Advice on Building a Good Marriage

I need to know what is proper behaviour for christian singles over 50 who are totally committed to one another and plan to be married who are both very passionate people, and know it is against God’s comandments to have sex before marriage
Dear Gover,
In regard to Christian relationship advice: That is an issue every Christian single faces, whether just Christian dating or in a serious relationship. Most just don’t want to admit it. We are sexual creatures and we all want love and to feel loved. It doesn’t matter what I say about this subject, really. I am lonely, too, and can’t remember the last time I even had a hug, outside of church, but what matters most is our obedience to God and He clearly commands us not to have sex before marriage. We are to neither commit adultery or commit fornication, as the bible says neither fornicators or adulterers shall see the Kingdom of Heaven. It would not be worth going to Hell over, to commit these sins, so we wait. God rewards us for obedience. We may not care for the rules, yet it is a blessing to know we have given our best to the Lord in obedience and He is pleased with us. He is definitely worth the sacrifice. After all, look how much He sacrificed for us when He died such a horrible death on the cross for our sins.
By the way…my Lord is everything to me. I am 62 yrs. of age, love my life in the Lord, love people, but am sometimes rejected because I have weight to lose and that hurts, as I am not ugly, love to laugh and have fun, but people have to remember…weight can be lost and I am trying so hard. I am waiting for my sweet darling to come along and cherish me as much as I shall cherish him. God shall give us our hearts desires as He sees fit. Until then. that’s my Christian dating advice on relationships…God bless you all.
