20 Signs She’s the Woman You Should Marry According to the Bible

Signs She’s the Woman You Should Marry According to the Bible

woman to marry

In my previous article, I discussed 12 signs from the Bible that may guide single ladies in choosing the right guy to marry. The article received positive feedback and became quite popular so I think it would be nice to also write something for single men this time – an article that will guide them in finding the right woman to be their wife.

You might be wondering why there are more guides (20 vs. 12) in finding the right wife than in finding the right husband. I believe it’s because a woman who’ll become both a wife and a mother will have greater physical, mental and emotional responsibilities than a husband and a father.

I think it’s not unfair since most women who are naturally born to be good wives and mothers will not find them difficult to follow and fulfill. In fact, the majority of my friends naturally became good wives and caring mothers when they entered married life.

But of course, just like men, there is still a percentage of women whom single guys should avoid if they don’t want to live a miserable life with the wrong wife.

12 Signs He’s the Guy You Should Marry According to the Bible

Signs He’s the Guy You Should Marry According to the Bible

the man to marry

A husband is someone whom you will be spending with for the rest of your life. He will be the son-in-law to your parents and the father to your children. He is supposed to be the pillar of your home and the strength of your family.

Marrying the wrong man could mean a lifetime of suffering, not only for you but also for your future children. Unlike breaking up with a boyfriend which can be done in an instant, the separation between a husband and a wife is a different thing. Its wound is deeper, its cost is higher, and its impact on the people around you is greater.

Marriage is both a legal and a sacred thing, governed by the law of our land and the law of the heavens. Thus, ladies have to be extra careful in choosing the guy they should marry. This also applies in looking for a boyfriend, since a BF is the closest guy who can be their husband.

To guide you in finding the right guy whom you will be exchanging wedding vows with at the altar, here are 12 signs from the Bible that he’s the man you should marry.
