If you’re a single lady, just looking to find a good christian man, there is hope! There are good christian guys out there. Maybe you even have a man pursuing you now, but you’re not sure whether he makes the cut. Paying attention to a potential interest’s characteristics is important for finding that godly man. But knowing which characteristics are most important to you, as well as those characteristics to look for that will promote a healthy and fulfilling relationship can be overwhelming. So here is a list for those ladies in the christian dating world that will help pinpoint some of the most important qualities of a christian man.
10 Qualities of a Good Christian Man
1. Spiritually Fit.
Putting this into a spiritual context, Christian women should yearn for a man who is frequently exercising his spiritual muscles. Maybe he attends a Bible class, midweek service, home group, or even a men’s Bible Study. Regardless of what his spiritual workouts look like, any woman who is seeking a godly man should find someone who is constantly refining his relationship with Christ.
2. Calm and collective.
Proverbs 14:29 states, “If you stay calm, you are wise, but if you have a hot temper, you only show how stupid you are.” A woman after God should always seek a man who can collect his temper, hold his anger, and constantly seek to stay calm amidst trials and tribulations.
3. Someone who can lead.
Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “A leader is a dealer in hope.” And while I understand that not every man is destined to be a world-renown leader, I do believe that each individual man in this world has a leadership role to fulfill within a marriage. Whether this role [is] filled by helping make big decisions, managing finances or even leading the family spiritually, every good christian man is called to be a leader.
4. A trustworthy soul.
A good christian man should inspire trustworthiness within you. If you don’t seek a man you can trust, you’ll probably end up making him as bitter as you’ll make yourself. Not worth it. If you can’t find a man you can trust, you should probably take some time away from pursuing. If there’s good reason not to trust him, don’t even think about pursuing a relationship with him.
5. Prayerful.
A man who doesn’t pray is a man who doesn’t truly have a relationship with God. I encourage all women to seek after a guy who has a strong prayer life with the one who created him. A man worth pursuing is a man who seeks after God on a daily basis. A prayerful man will encourage a prayerful relationship.
6. Selfless.
