32F going to start dating this year, any advice on how to find Mr right?

I mean, I kind of already have an idea of what I want. Someone with kids, because I can't have any. A traditional Christian who goes by the bible rather than what they think or want, without the new progressive mindset. Dating sites don't seem to be a good place for this. Where did you find your spouse?

Why Christians should not date or marry non-believers

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14

For Christians who are single and considering marriage, this is something that should be thought through seriously and prayed about. I do not think people always realise what kind of life they may be entering when they choose to marry someone who is not a Christian. It is easy to focus on how much you like a man or woman right now, but marriage is meant to be a lifelong commitment. People change over time, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, depending on whom you choose to serve. Faith affects more than church attendance. It shapes how you handle conflict, raise children, spend money, face suffering, your purpose in life, your calling, and how marriage is supposed to be. Lots of what I see with unequally yoked marriages is that divorce rates are high, and the Christian spouse is often hindered in their calling by their unbelieving spouse. Being unequally yoked causes a great deal of unnecessary suffering. Often, what happens is one day that spouse looks over at you and despises you in their heart, just as Michal’s did to David as he danced for the Lord. You will be like What changed? They loved me before? And suddenly they treat you differently. You begin to fight, and it's just never the same as it once was. You wonder where is the person that you married? You still love your spouse, but they no longer love you. Sometimes it even results in abuse. ^(3) Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Amos 3:3
