How do I find a godly spouse?

Quick answer

Pursue Christ first; let the search be intentional but not desperate; involve community; look for character, not just chemistry; and trust God’s timing without putting your life on hold.

Become the kind of person you want to attract. Pursue maturity in Christ; godly people are drawn to godly people.

Look in places God’s people gather: church, ministries, Christian friendships. Use wisdom about online options.

Don’t marry the unbeliever, even if you "love" them (2 Corinthians 6:14). The yoke will not work; choose Christ-followers.

Trust God’s timing. Some marry young; some later; some not at all. All can flourish.
