Is It True Love? Finding the ‘One’ Without Looking for Them

2/15/2020 Christianity 25 Comments

Every man and woman who enters into marriage always dreams of having a blissful married life that will last until death. Although it does not always happen, it is achievable. For one, this can be achieved if you happened to marry a prudent man or woman; otherwise, the relationship would surely be shaky and troublesome.

The question is, how can you find a prudent spouse?

If you are going to search for a partner in life or for a spouse using your own standards, chances are, your search might be in vain. Or perhaps, the spouse that you’ll find is not really prudent. Why?

PROVERBS 19:14 (KJV) says,


A prudent spouse comes from God. And you will be able to determine that he/she comes from God if he/she upholds and abides by the teachings of God.

2 TIMOTHY 3:17 (KJV) says,


The people of God are thoroughly taught of all good works. That being the case, you can be sure that they can be prudent husbands and wives when they get married.

Yes, it is very possible to find a prudent husband or wife. Just be patient enough to wait. And when the right time comes, you’ll be able to meet somebody who fears God and puts great importance to His teachings.

Do not marry a drunkard; do not marry somebody who is laden with all kinds of vices; do not marry a person who is ill-tempered and is easily provoked to anger. Actually, God does not even want you to associate or have a relationship with ill-tempered and furious persons.

PROVERBS 22:24-25 (KJV) says,


Instead of befriending or associating with them, God wants you to avoid them, especially those who have bad temper and have the tendency to be violent and disrespectful. If you marry such a kind of person, you might just end up being abused, physically and verbally.

It is best not to jump into marriage hastily for you not to suffer in the end. Wait for the prudent person that God will give you. Always remember that a God-given spouse is prudent – he/she is without any vices, and he/she heeds to the teachings of God. And with that person, you could have a blissful and lasting marriage.
