Is There Anything Wrong With Looking For A Partner Online Or Personal Column In A Newspaper?

I am a Christian woman, looking for a spouse. I am divorced (his abuse & adultery – I know there are different interpretations on scripture on the subject of divorce)
Is there anything wrong in putting an advert in a personal column in a newspaper or joining online dating ? I will specify I am born again looking for the same.

    No I don’t see a problem. But you may need to sort through a lot of mess before finding the right person that way. I think getting involved in Church ministry maybe outside of your own fellowship may be a better place to start.

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it at all. There are plenty of regular, perfectly good folks online, same as you. Just be careful.

    The worst thing about doing that, beyond the danger, is that you may be ignoring a perfectly good catch just across the street. There are lots of Christian singles groups and Divorce Recovery Groups you can join and not have to have a long-distance relationship with someone who could turn out to be a Nigerian con man.

  • I don’t think so, but I can’t back it up with the word of God. I do know, for a fact that meeting someone online or through an ad is dangerous. I personally know a man preying on lonely women in their 50′s and 60′s on the Internet. He is married. Has been for 35 years. I know his wife. PLEASE, be careful and don’t move too fast. God bless you in your search!

  • My wife and I are both practicing Christians and we both met that way (online first). We’ve known each other now for almost eight years and have been married in the Church for about two and a half years. I’m from the U.S. and she’s from a Southeast Asian country.
    I don’t see anything wrong with meeting people online – the same rules apply actually – be cautious, take things slow and take time to really get to know each other. Eventually you will have to meet face-to-face of course just like any other relationship. A word of warning though – Long-distance relationships are not everyone’s cup of tea…… My wife and I both did it, and we had a long-distance romance with lots of instant-messaging (text, audio, and video – AIM and Yahoo IM) and lots of international phone calling (no “snail mail” – too slow and response time too long, esp. when international). Our actual visits to one another, her here, and also me there, were very special. At a certain point your relationship will become like most others if you are serious and stick with it (the novelty of it being online at first I mean)

    yes because their are in imposter’s out there for a joke or sex offenders i would watch myself just in case it depends on how old you are

  • No nothing wrong with that but also ask your friends if they know any single men that they could just introduce you to. Although this may be too much but you could add your picture to your avatar and meet someone right here who knows.

    I don’t see anything wrong with it. Try to check him out first. Maybe you could have your first date at church or something. You have to be very cautious now adays. I would pray a lot and ask God to send the right person to me.
