Anyone who has been a committed Christian for any length of time will know that, on the whole, Christian women outnumber Christian men. There are all kinds of reasons for this but this is generally true wherever you live. Some Churches may have more men than women but they are the rare exception.

Christian dating and the statistics on singleness in the Church

The fact that there are more women than men in the Church has meant that the proportion of single Christian women to single Christian men is not equal. This is bad news for Christians for all kinds of reasons. Even if the proportions were equal the fact that Christians should only date other Christians makes life more difficult. If you add to this the fact that the average single Christian woman are “competing” over fewer single Christian men means that a single Christian woman will find it harder to find her ideal partner. If this means that she will have to wait somewhat longer than someone not part of the Church then over time this means that families are being started later, or not at all in some cases.

Christian dating sites providing equality to single Christian women

If you are a single Christian woman you won’t need us to tell you what it feels like, especially if you have been this for some time. What you need to have is some encouragement and opportunity to change this. A Christian dating site such as ChristiansUK.com was built to provide the possibility for single Christian women to level the playing field with Christian men. This can be achieved by taking away one key restriction which is your location. A site such as this enables you to contact those single Christian men that live further away from your immediate locality or local Church circle.

So should single Christian women be using online dating services?

Of course they should! Anything that could increase the chances of meeting the right person should be used. But don’t leave God or common sense out of your thinking. God will bless your search for a partner because it is His heart that you are not lonely. Use your common sense (after prayer) to commit yourself to one (or two) decent Christian dating sites. More than this and you won’t be able to put your full commitment into any of them and you will lose out as a result. You are looking for a successful experience in Christian dating and you need to make sure that you don’t put artificial obstacles in your way. These might include deciding you don’t want to put your photos on a site (bad idea as few will click on your profile). As long as you are committed and sensible in your approach to Christian dating, and include God and your friends in the approaches you make, you can’t go far wrong.
