What to Know About Dating a Christian Woman
Dating a Christian woman can be an amazing experience, particularly if you are a Christian yourself. It needs to be said that most Christian women have a higher calling and live up to a higher standard than some other women and this can either work in your favor or against you depending on how your belief systems mesh or clash. Above all a Christian woman is devoted to God and the words of the Bible and will normally stick somewhat rigidly to the sets of beliefs that they hold near and dear. For those who don't follow the Christian religion, this can get complicated but what a Christian woman can offer may very well be worth it. Here is the least you need to know about dating a woman who follows the Christian path.
In It to Win It
Few Christian women will date a man with the intent of having a causal fling. Most Christian women have waited a long time to even think about dating and are not looking to date a string of men who may be after only one thing.
A Christian woman is all about depth and her devotion to God and so her perfect mate will be one who is equally devoted, who is ready to talk about tough topics such as marriage and children and of course how together you can both pray to and be devoted to God.
Self Control
Christian women for the most part give their entire selves to God and will only give their physical beings to the man they plan to marry. Premarital sex does happen in the Christian religion but it is rarer than with other religions and therefore, the male counterpart needs to have a lot of self control and patience.
What others think of as innocent or less than intimate acts such as a good night kiss, a Christian woman views as too intimate for the dating phase. Kissing and light fondling can lead a man or woman for that matter into temptation, and this is something that goes against the Christian views and beliefs. Therefore it is best to have little physical contact while dating a Christian woman so that temptation doesn't get the best of you and neither of you enters into an awkward situation.
Some Christian women will concede to kissing once the engagement has taken place, while others believe that there shall be no physical contact until the wedding day. For the devout Christian woman nothing is as magical as saving all physical contact for her husband and truth be told, many men love this fact. It makes them feel as though they are special and their wives to be have chosen to keep that part of intimacy specifically for them.
Communication
For the Christian woman everything is about communication both with the Lord and her husband. Because there is so much stock placed upon a strict belief system and values there will probably be times when the two of you disagree or reach an obstacle that you need to overcome and the best way to find common ground and compromise is to talk about what the issues are and be willing to work through them,
Take ample time to ask your Christian woman anything that you think you want to know about her before committing and also about how she views things such as fidelity, vows, children and her commitment to the church. Since many Christians devote a great deal of time to their church and faith, a man who isn't as committed to those things might feel that he has to compete with the woman's time and this can be problematic in the future.
It's best to lay all the cards and expectations on the table before you make the decision to be with your Christian woman and her only.
Take the Lead
By faith, Christian women believe the man rules the roost and therefore they are brought up to like men who take charge and can be not only effective communicators but are also capable and willing to make important decisions for the relationship. They also like to be courted in the proper way such as having doors opened for them, being led in crowds and overall, want to feel protected by the men they commit to.
A passive man will have to learn how to be more aggressive in his actions and decisions and should have a strong will if they are to make a good partner for a Christian woman.
Trust in God
Christian women will spend a lot of time praying about the men they allow into their lives and for the man who wants to date this type of woman he too should ask God for guidance. It is perfectly okay to ask God to lead you through the date and to give you signs that you have found a good match.
