Do you believe that instead of dating, you should wait for God to let you meet and tell you, "He/She's the one!"

Sure I believe he has. There is actual scripture that says he has a spouse picked out for each of us. I have that written down somewhere, but forget where in the Bible I got it from.
Goes something like, he is preparing a man for you right now, a man that will look at you like a queen. He prepares him for you, and in both of yous so that you each match up to the other.. He then fixes what needs to be fixed in that person, and yourself to prepare for the time you meet.
So I sat back and waited. But I do believe you shouldn't wait for the answer, cause you can be sitting in limbo for 30 years and never get the results. This I have learned from reading the books 'Conversations With God' CWF faith. I was shocked, and believed what I read.. I learned that we must 'reach out' for what we want.
Been there done that! go out and reach for it!! that is possible, God truly does help those who helps themselves.

This is a very touchy question. Yes God has ordained who your spouse will be because He know and has created all future events. But at the same time, we have free will. It is a difficult concept to understand. I would talk to a pastor of Christian Church if you have questions. Any way, I don't believe that we should sit in a corner and not be involved with anyone until God just brings him along. I think that dating is a God given gift, a way to bring your self closer to someone of the opposite sex. But dating should always be done with as little intiamte contact as possible so as to aviod temptation. In answer to you question...yes God has a spouse planned for you, but no, I would not refrain from casual dating because you'll probably have to get to know him better before you know that he's the right one

There is no pre-destination, so, no, it's just a roll of the dice. Either you find someone 'compatible', or you think you find someone 'compatible' and later down the road figure out it can't go any further. If you sit and wait for God to tell you "That's the One", you may grow old and never have the company everyone appreciates every now and then.

Never come across that one before, there is always a first time I suppose!!
Then if the marriage turns out to be a crock of Shi*e you can put the blame on 'God'??
This 'God' is a very handy person isnt he??
I some times wish I was a believer, it would be very nice to have some one to pin the blame on!!
I've looked into quite few religions but never come across your idea anywhere that I can recall!
So I would say Yes you are on your own in this!!
But keep plugging it, there are folk out there that will folllow!!

I do believe in dating as friends. Get to know the Christian guys as brothers....
Despite what everybody else will tell you, I really did "hear" God say "he's the one" and so did my hubby!!
We both "knew" the night we met. Then we starting dating each other more seriously.
Let your heart be open to God's leading, it is the best way!! Be ready at any time, you never know!
My hubby and I have been married 21 years, and we're still in love!

I'm an athiest, so no... I don't believe God chooses a spouse for you. I do believe that true love can only be found it you wait for it, not go looking for it, however. If you advertise yourself as single, you'll get a lot of desperate people after you, and not necessarily people who truly love you.

While it might be true, most of us don't wait around to find out. We impose our wants and make our own choices (many of which are bad and unwise choices - check out the divorce rate).
I've never met anyone who said God picked out their spouse for them. You would think that if God did do that, those couples would be telling the world about it.

well, I believe God knows my spouse but He wants me to find the guy myself--why should God do all the work?

No that's entirely wrong. There's so many hundreds (or thousands) of people all over the world that would be equally great for you to meet, fall in love with and marry. It's a naive misconception to think that there's only one specific person you can or will be in love with.

In some cases. I am waiting for him to send me a husband, the last one was broke.
