u/I-love-Jesus-Forever

I have prayed to God for a Christian husband for over a year, but I never thought to look for someone myself. I know Proverbs 18:22 says, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord," but that may not apply to my situation. So, I am going to give this a try and do not be afraid to reach out to me. I want to build friendships before dating to develop trust first. If you have any questions for me, please reach out!

About Me

• 5'1 female, blonde hair, grey eyes (some people say they look blue or green depending on lighting)
• I love God and want to put Him first above everything, including dating. I want to date someone who leads me closer to Him, and I plan to date with the intention of marriage.
• Non-denominational: I believe in the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and that the Bible is the truth. For me, it is less about religion and more about a relationship with Jesus (John 15:5).
• I believe both husband and wife should submit to each other. Ephesians 5:21 says, "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." They should be treated as equals, not with one ruling over the other. God rules over the household and should be the foundation.
• I think household chores should be shared between husband and wife (including cooking, laundry, dishes, and cleaning), especially since both may have careers. The wife should not have to take on a part-time job at home after her full-time one. Social norms often make it seem like the wife should handle all these responsibilities, but they should be shared. As a woman, I am also considering doing outside chores in the future, such as gardening.
• I only listen to Christian music and watch PG movies and shows. I do watch anime, but I have stopped watching many inappropriate shows. I believe what we watch and listen to shapes our character. Some other hobbies I like are multiplayer PC games, board games like chess, going on walks outside and biking.
• I try to read the Bible every day, even if it is just one verse. I read the Bible not to appear "righteous," but to grow closer to Jesus. Sometimes I ask Him to speak to me through the Bible.
• I pray throughout the day as a way of talking to Jesus. If you need prayer for anything, please let me know! I would love to pray for you, too. Also, if you reach out to me, tell me the word faith so I know you have read through this.
• One of my careers was as a paraprofessional, and it made me realize that I do not feel passionate about being a mother. That is why I would rather be childfree and pursue a career that God has led me to. I would love to have a husband in Christ who encourages and uplifts me in this, and I want to do the same for him in what God has called him to do.
• Currently, I am still pursuing my education and I just graduated with my associate's degree. Later this fall, I plan to work toward a bachelor's in Accounting to pursue a career in the field.
• Working full-time between two jobs, one at a greenhouse and one as a sales associate at a floral shop to save money
• I do not wear makeup often, only for special occasions. Personally, makeup feels fake to me, and I want to show myself as I am.

Terms for Dating

• Must align with my values
• Friendship before dating; I am interested in meeting in person before dating, if possible
• Age range: 21–27 (I could be open to someone a year outside this range)
• I plan to pray about whatever situation God guides me to. I would love to travel and work remotely. However, all my family members live in my state, so I may try to buy something inexpensive and own land in the future.
