3 Signs God Approves Your Christian Dating Relationship
Hey Queen!
When you’re in a dating relationship, it’s natural to wonder if God approves of the person you’re with. While no relationship is perfect, there are certain signs that indicate God’s blessing and alignment with his will. Here are three key signs that God may approve of your dating relationship:
1. The Relationship Aligns with God’s Word
A relationship that honors God will reflect the principles found in scripture. Both partners should be committed to living out their faith and following biblical values.
Signs of Alignment:
• Both of you prioritize your relationship with God over everything else.
• Your relationship encourages obedience to God’s commandments and reflects Christ’s love.
• You avoid engaging in behaviors that compromise your faith, such as dishonesty or idolatry.
Why This Matters:
God will never lead you into a relationship that contradicts his word. A relationship centered on him will bring peace and clarity, not confusion or guilt.
Key Verse: “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11
2. The Relationship Bears Good Fruit
A relationship approved by God will bear spiritual fruit. This means that both you and your partner are growing in your faith and positively influencing each other’s walk with Christ.
Signs of Good Fruit:
• You inspire each other to grow closer to God through prayer, bible study, and worship.
• The relationship encourages traits like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
• Others, especially spiritually mature friends or mentors, affirm the health and godliness of your relationship.
Why This Matters:
Godly relationships are designed to strengthen your faith and produce positive outcomes for his glory. If your relationship helps you grow in character and purpose, it’s a good indication of his approval.
Key Verse: “Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.” — Matthew 7:20
3. You Experience Peace and Confirmation Through Prayer
God often communicates his will through peace and affirmation. If you have sought God’s guidance in prayer and feel a sense of peace about your relationship, it may be a sign of his approval.
Signs of Peace and Confirmation:
• You feel a deep sense of peace when you think about your relationship and future with your partner.
• When you pray, you feel God’s presence and clarity, rather than doubt or confusion.
• You’ve received encouragement or confirmation from trusted godly counsel.
Why This Matters:
God is not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). A relationship that aligns with his will brings a sense of harmony, not turmoil.
Key Verse: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:6-7
No relationship is perfect, but a godly relationship will reflect God’s word, produce good fruit, and bring peace to your heart. If your relationship meets these criteria, it’s a strong indication that God approves. Continue to seek his guidance and keep him at the center of your relationship.
