7 Attributes of God That You Should Desire in a Mate

A general focus on being a godly mate tends to look at specific marital roles. Women focus on what they can learn about being a godly wife and men focus on being a godly husband.  Most of us will say we want someone who loves God, but how often will we say that we want someone whose character matches the attributes of our Creator?

Review these attributes of God and consider how important they are in an earthly relationship.

1. God is not a liar or a flake. (Numbers 23:19)
2. God is patient. (Nehemiah 9:17)
3. God is joyful and has a sense of humor. (Genesis 21:6)
4.  God is the best provider. (Philippians 4:19)
5. God does not break His vows or commitments. (Psalm 89:24)
6.  God is good. (1 John 1:5)
7.  God is faithful. (Ps. 89:8)

There are many more attributes of God, but the seven above are the ones that make for a sustaining relationship of any kind – with a mate or family or even friends. Would a precious pearl want less for herself than what God wants for her?
