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