Are Christian Dating Sites A Contradiction Of Basic Biblical Principles

Are Christian Dating Sites A Contradiction Of Basic Biblical Principles For Courtship And Marriage?

I’ve always been pretty bias when it comes to Christian dating sites, but I can’t honestly say that these were views or beliefs that I organically cultivated on my own. Traditional and rigid views regarding courtship, marriage, and gender roles or The concept of “He who finds a wife” (Proverbs 18:22) is strongly emphasized, and the idea of a woman being actively out and about searching for a husband is frowned upon. I’d always assumed that this biblical principle pretty much cancels out Christians utilizing dating websites to find a potential mate. I remember cringing during Christian Mingle commercials, especially at their famous slogan, ”Sometimes we wait for God to make the next move when God is saying, ‘it’s your time to act.” In my mind, it was simply “unbiblical” and unheard of for Christians to be hooking up on dating websites.

One day it dawned on me that my uncompromising opinions about Christian dating sites are a little ironic, considering that I’m a young adult who is  living in the age of technology. In 2013, many of us do our shopping, pay our bills, apply to jobs, and even earn degrees online but the issue of online dating is totally different? I found it odd that like a robot, "Do you know if the partner you'll find is very strong in his world of Christendom or not?

What are your thoughts on Christian dating websites Agree or Disagree?
