Christian Personals
by : Katerina Molley
| There are many
more resources for finding the right mate today than there
were as little as 20 years ago. One of the
methods that enjoys a great deal of popularity among singles
is the personals – both in newspapers and online.While
meeting and establishing a relationship with someone through
an advertisement has definite drawbacks, |
|
stories are often told
of such associations leading to a happily married life.One of the
first things to consider, once you’ve
made the decision to utilize the personal ads in order to find
that special someone, is the construction of a good ad that will
attract the person who’s most likely to be the best match.
From a Christian perspective, this offers greater challenges, since
the code of living that the Church dictates isn’t often popular
within a less spiritual society such as ours.
Before beginning
the writing process, it’s necessary
to identify the particular qualities that you’re
hoping for in a mate. If you can’t pinpoint specifics,
take a look at the friends that you’ve chosen to
surround yourself with, and you’ll get a better idea
of what types of things to look for in a mate when you
realize which qualities have appealed to you through friendships.
It’s important to keep the Christian perspective
in focus here – even more so when choosing a potential
life partner.
When writing
your ad, be sure to list the qualities that you have
to offer to a relationship; mention hobbies and
activities that you find enjoyable, be completely honest
about who you are and what you’re looking for in
a partner (do not compromise your Christian morals or principles,
even if they’re not so popular in today’s world)
and – above and beyond all else – make it understood
that you’re a Christian looking for a Christian mate.
This statement, alone, implies that you’re abiding
by the Church’s expectations and that – as
a good Christian – you fully intend to live by them.
You don’t have to appear rigid; just make yourself
clear in a friendly, lighthearted way, and you’ll
be attracting other Christians in no time.
