If you have a close enough relationship with God, not just with the Bible, but with God...you should ask God, not ask yourself. Seek God and ask him to bring you a wife or a husband. Be prepared however that although he will bring you someone if its his will...you will probs have to wait while he prepares you for the role and heals you of any past hurts. What looks like a no answer can actually be a not yet.

"God's will matches reality." Yes yes

I'm sure I was born to be a wife. To a good, solid man,not someone who leads me down wrong roads.

For my personal use: What I got from this video - It's okay to be confused and move forward. Moving forward when you are not 100% sure is not a bad thing - There is always going to be some risk involved because we don't know everything

He placed her into your heart. He’s the only one that can place someone into your heart.

Love is always a risk. You won't know everything up front. And if you like someone, take the risk. General questions: does God like dating? Marriage is Godly so dating is good. Should I date? If you're willing, preparing to marry, yes. Should I date now? Look at your life now. Ask if there's a reason not to. What about this person? Look for if they are ready and a Christian. Flaws are different than living in sin. Does the other person want a relationship with you? If so, it's a green light. (Check the Bible, Holy Spirit's impressions, and circumstances too.) It's not a sin to move forward, if you're not really sure. This can be an expression of faith. ~ Wow, what a helpful video!

How do you know when it’s a sign/feeling from God? Sometimes I feel like I’m getting an answer or sign from God but I’m also afraid that it could just be my own self cause I always overthink a lot and I don’t want to just rely on myself or be following false feelings. I am praying about it

God's Will Matches Reality. I will let God Choose my Husband and let his will be done. God is Awesome!!!

I know enough now to ask God for his guidance. I went my own way and ended up being badly hurt. God had to break my heart to make me realize I had to rely on HIM for what I need and who I should be with. I'm 53 and have been around. I've been badly hurt and know now to be very careful. If a man I date asks for sex early in the relationship, I will drop it if the guy leaves because he didn't get what he wanted. Stick to your guns. I know God will guide me this time. Great video!

Oh man this is so true. I remember clearly hearing God tell me "I'm not gonna tell you to date or not date" a specific girl. I couldn't believe it. I got my heart hurt in the relationship and obviously learned she wasn't for me, but it surprised me that he said that. Sometimes He allows us to experience pain. Also seems like he wants us to have our own experiences without always playing it so safe and thinking His will is a tight rope.

Simple. Just pray. If that person stop talking to you or stop seeing you for no reason, means God is saying "No!"

God tells you that’s the right person and they reject you. Maybe sometimes it’s not the right time to date that person to get married I heard pently of stories like that. What do you think?

OK, c'mon God I'm feeling it, so let's do this thing!

My relationship ended a month ago, I see her going in a bad direction. I did mistakes, I started praying and like a flash, I saw all my sin and what I must change to get her back. Our relationship was incredibly intense, but I started neglecting her at some point, I forgot about god, my faith was weak as never before at that time. I have got the strong feeling satan has divided us. I feel like god wants me to get strong, to take her back and to have the ability to guide her back on the right path, like I did before... cause when we were together, she even said herself, that she is evolving. When she broke up with me, all her bad habits returned. I feel that I truly need to evolve in order for him to bring her back to me, I think thats what he is trying to tell me.

I love God more than any man. Then if a guy likes me, I just treat them as a friend and follow the flow. I didn't give my heart to them. Because I don't trust any man, but I only trust God alone. I just let God decide who He wants me to be with. And the more I get closer to God, I realised all the unrighteous guys are dissappearing from my life. A Muslim guy is liking me, but I am just letting God do His job. That Muslim guy said to me if Christian is true, he is willing to be a Christian. I just kept quiet, because I don't know what to do. That guy just suddenly said that to me. 🙄

I appreciate your view but there are situations where you have to walk by faith and not by sight. I am best friends with a Godly man and God has told me he is my beloved. It does not look like that at all. I think it is because of the Lords timing. Every time I try to turn away from this man, God very prominently makes it clear I am to wait on this gentleman. So I think every situation is different. Give it to Jesus and wait upon His Will.

I'm 67 and I'm a man.. I'd like to think I could be married again but I'm scared due to my divorce and losing so much.

PERFECT PEACE! Engagement & being "gifted"to be single is written in The Holy Scriptures! Truly, LOVE is sacrifice-risk! As GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS ONLY..... Grateful for your sharing! My LOVE be with you all in CHRIST!

As a child of God, . I believe and know that both people need have to have faith in the Lord ...for a long term relationship....

This answered my questions. God is with you.

Mark I really appreciate your videos and that you always back up what you say with scripture ! I'm so blessed to have found you and your channel as they are bringing me into a closer relationship with God and understanding in more depth his sovereignty! I also purchased your book "The One" great stuff! Awesome book I advise everyone to grab yourself a copy ! Thank you so much for all you are doing here! Bless you and your wife and family ! Thank you for giving a better understanding of his word and of him ! You give hope!

Thank you, this was helpful. Even though I have a crush on someone, I realise I do still want that time to just be single and enjoy me and God. (Writing this for accountability lol)

First build your self then repair credit lol

New subscriber here. Greetings from London England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and I am thankful to God to have found your channel. You are a man of God with good intentions and your work definitely has a purpose in the body of Christ. Loving greetings to you, your wife and family. xx 😘

This is so clear and practical advice thank you so much literally an answer to prayer.

I just realized you were named after one of the disciples. Lol. Have a blessed day.

You have the gift of teaching. I have felt the anointing through your videos. The wisdom from God flows from your lips. Wonderful teachings brother. God Bless you all! ♡

Again Bro. Mark, you are bringing a depth of insight that others who have spoken on this subject have not! Your last point about God sometimes revealing things as you go... I can so relate to that! Thank you for all that you’re doing for the kingdom. Blessings!

great advice in a clear message, easy to understand :) we particularly liked that sign of maturity- working on yourself- which is a good indicator that you are in the right season to start dating.

I just loved "Well Welcome" with your smile it was so loving. Thanks for your message, Mark

You are a blessing to the Christian youths today. God bless you,brother. Praying for blessings and more wisdom upon you.

I love the sincere advice that you give, it answers a lot of my questions.

See, love is made strong when there is sacrifice, because when a person knows that there is no guarantee that everything will work out, choosing still to go ahead, it becomes unconditional and, thus, love works the way justice works. The reason this happens is because it’s not about things working out outside, that which is in and of the world, but that which is inside, the big things made little in The Lord. To love is to give, to extend that gift is to love more, and to extend it not being successful all the time, is to love unconditionally.

Your video is very clear to understand and hits the right points that a person looking to date a significant person should ask themselves. It gives my mind a reset on always looking to do God’s will.

I love your videos! They give me so much hope and clarity! God Bless you and your family! ❤️

I really appreciate your help with God's way of interaction with relationships and such ! Keep it up

i think watching this video shows that you want to learn to be a godly husband/wife and learn from gods teaching and could be preparing for others things

ur my new guru in relationships..😀I love how you round ur words off..amen!

Prolly mah FAVORITE sermon!!!

Great info. Thanks again Mark....always a blessing!

Thx dude this video just answered my prayer 💯💯

This was so practical THANKYOU !

Once again, some of your points are really calling me out! THANK YOU AND HIGHTEST PRAISE TO JESUS FOR BRINGING ME HERE!!!

just prayed and i know God spoke to me through mark

I certainly agree if it is a NO" God will say NO all over again in every attempt you dare to date with the wrong one. 😁

Excellent video Mr. Mark!

Thank you, the "moving forward" did touch me...

I love him a lot because of God, even we had fighting many times. Still i cant leave him or hate him.

Really good advice! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👊. It was very helpful.. keep it up 🇹🇹

Alright, I’m done fighting it, SUBSCRIBER ✅

This hits hard...but its so true 😇

Again a well-made video! Thank you very much!

Thank you for dis beautiful video 💌

Dude, I would hug you right now if I could! Thank you for this video 😀

Good points, question clearly answered, overall, very well said!

Practical yet powerful 💕

God bless.. great advice

Thank you so much for your beautiful information on Christian dating and marriage. I have people in my life one is a daughter, who's not married, so I'm always looking for answers to give to her, and to some others who are probably searching.... so thanks a lot. God bless I love you and yours. 😊

this is very helpful, thank you

Thank you God, thank you God, I love you so much, finally direct answer to all my questions and prayers ♥️🙏.

I love this channel! ❤️

My crush goes to my church!!! ✨👏🏻✨ 🕊 🥖 🍷

New subscriber lol I just want to say that I need this video because I feel everything you saying is true about me and I started to let God show me who I need to be with. I pray that he gives me someone I want to marry in the future.and I believe he came

Thank you my brother. God bless you.

What God put together no man set asunder.... This verse says it all. God matches people and he does so based on compatibility to the person he sees as your soul mate.

What I did is made a general list of the things I want in a wife, and allowed one to three things on that list to not be on there, it’s really helped me narrow down who I will chose to pursue in the future

This video was very helpful!! Thank you!!

Thank you for this video and message. I'm in my mid-30s and I'm embarrassed to say that I violated what you talked about at @ 8:10. You talk about God likely NOT wanting us to date someone, and clearly telling us so, when she (in my case) rejects invitations to go out or anything like that, *multiple times*. Just beginning to get over a 4-year "crush" (which sounds so juvenile at this stage), where I had a long-standing interest in and attraction for a particular female. We have been friends, but she only ever went out with me ONCE in all the times I have asked her - and that was actually after knowing her for a year and half! I can't even count that as a "date" in retrospect, though it "felt" like one.... We've never gone out again since then, but I had continued to harbor "hope against hope" that this was "God's Will", that she was the one He had for me, and that one day God would "touch her" and she would turn around and see me in a "different light". Lol! I laugh but it's embarrassing at this stage of life. And perhaps somewhat "unhealthy" which makes me realize I may have some work to do. Also realize how much time I wasted by not looking into other prospects, not growing myself as a person, etc. So your point really is well-taken. I encourage all not to make that mistake like I did ; ) Pray for me :)

Great video. Thanks!

God's will matches reality very insightful.Thank Yöu be blessed

Awesome. On point. Thanks

That is true. Love is always a risk.

Very nice talk. God please help us to know u more and more Amen

Great video, thanks for posting.

This is awesome ! Thank you so much !

Thank you for all your videos. They helped me a lot during relationship tribulations 😄🙏 New subscriber!

I haven’t had a close rls with God this year... and I know that I am not ready to be in a rls if my rls w God is not good. But I have been liking this guy for a Long time and I was interested/infatuated with him before I even rlly knew him. Only recently (after talking almost Everyday) I found out he is a Christian as well and he is a really a God-fearing God-loving man which really made me reflect on myself not in the way that I have to be like him to be with him but made me reflect on my own rls with God and after talking consecutively for a few days I told him about my situation and he said he would pray for me... last night I just got emotional and prayed to God ( haven’t had a serious/private prayer in a Long time) about how I felt and how I wanted to pursue God and stop being lukewarm. I wanted to change. But I don’t want it to because of the guy I like but really because I want to be the woman God wants me to be and idk if he placed this guy in my life for a reason or to be a potential partner but I still want to pray about it and I know that even if he isn’t, God has someone better in mind for me

Solid practical advice.

Brother u are awsome thanks

Really good info- thanks again -God bless)

The funniest thing about this is, I feel like I've known my boyfriend (& soon to be fiancé, he's planning on officially "putting a ring on it" soon) since before we even met (on Facebook, we've yet to meet in person due to being long distance), but I told him that I had had a dream (about my future wedding) in 2010 (didn't meet him until 2014, & we became Facebook friends in January 2015, & finally got together (as a couple) 6 months ago, on August 7, 2018. While I'm a Protestant Christian, he's an (inactive) LDS Mormon, but even religion aside, he & I have so much in common that I feel like it was meant to be. I even have told him that after I initially saw his Facebook profile that I just knew. There was (& still is) something about him, that I just love (about him), & it's not necessarily just ONE specific thing either, which is why it's so tough for me to pinpoint (when he asks) what it is (about him) that I love so much & why I fell for him, as it's not just his looks (although he IS very easy on the eyes) or his personality, I just don't know EXACTLY what it is. I just see him as the total package. Somehow, my "dream man" is mine...FOREVER & for that I'm eternally grateful...and it's also a plus that we both were born with Hydrocephalus (& also have Epilepsy) & other medical conditions & so we understand each other (on that level) as well, and can still look past each other's OTHER disabilities & limitations, & love each other regardless, & we match up (from an astrological standpoint) as well. 😁 I had always said (since having the dream about my future wedding) that I felt (as an Aries woman) that I'd marry a Leo man...and my boyfriend IS that Leo (August 13th birthday), I was shocked by that (when I found out his birthday), and we also match up from a Chinese zodiac standpoint as well. While I'm a Boar/Pig personality (born in March 1983), my boyfriend is a Goat/Sheep personality (1979), which (as a Boar/Pig personality), the Goat/Sheep is one of my allies. My other ally is people born in the Year of the Rabbit (like one of my cousins is). 😁

God warns me by signs and dreams , now I know for sure he is protecting me, to be with a bad situation I got myself in.. this person was wrong from the very start. This person knows of these things I experienced from years back.. now I know he is not a healthy minded man , I will never see him again ever!!!! God knows a good person who is right for us.

God Bless you truly, thank you

I love this channel!

That's a lot of wisdom thank you very much. Blessed from India

this is so helpful!

Thank you sir, this was very helpful to me, as I'm in a situation at the moment whether to move forward or not.

He's telling me not to move I've been feeling that. He's being telling me "LOVE IS PATIENCE."

God bless you always, I was praying for this answer, and God gave me the answer through you. Thanks to you now I know my boyfriend is the man God wants me to marry ❤️🙏✝️

Great job Mark

Wow thank you❤️

when you know Him you will be sure pray more be blessed

I have been praying and taking time to ask God that very question, "Does God want me to date that person". like I have been pursuing this Christian girl and I believe he is saying yes but, not right now. I have asked my parents and my youth pastor about my situation with the military and her and they said I should wait until after my A school. so I want to say, thank you for this video!

I've been into this confusion for months. I broke up with my ex girlfriend about 5 months ago and immediately I went back to God with the hope that he will save her and would repair our relationship this time with Him on mind and I promised him that if He gave her to me, I would help her walking on God's way. Two weeks after we broke I know God allowed me to talk to her about Him. Back then I thought that He would repair our relationship but I knew inside that I wasn't ready to help her to walk with God, so she told me that she liked another guy, now is her boyfriend which definitely deceived her, but I know this is her trial so He will make her realize that she must seek Him. I've been asking for her every day and I've been wondering if God is going to allow me to make my promise. I have a lot of doubts because I'm not sure if what I feel is His voice or it is just me. To this day I've been fighting with this sinful addiction I've had for years so I would be prepared in case he grants my prayers but I want to be sure about his answer, because I wouldn't like to continua praying in vain.

Thsnk you for this video
