I'm asking this question because many Christians believe that it is ungodly to actively to seek a mate. But the Bible isn't exactly clear on this topic. Dating and courtship really didn't exist during ancient times. For the most part, marriages were arranged up until the last century when you get automobiles. The choice of mates was a family decision with little input from the people getting married. In light of this, many Christians have questioned my faith saying things like I want a wife more than I want God's love or will for my life. This is unsettling and troubling for myself because I read about Adam before the Fall and he was seeking companionship amongs the animals. Also, God did state: It is good for man not to be alone. It also states in provers: he who findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtain favor with the Lord." And God allowed for arranged marriages to go on prettty much throughout the Bible, therefore is it wrong to use the services of a marriage agency?
