5 Signs Your Christian Boyfriend Is The One God Made Perfectly For You

Whenever I was young, as most girls did, I dreamed of my fairytale wedding and my knight in shining armor, whoever he may be. Growing up, I was also wanting to know if I was dating the "right" guy. Trust me, it took a lot of conversations with God about who I should be with, to find out that He has made someone perfect for me and in time, I would find them.

Oftentimes, we can get lost in how someone makes us feel so we may forget to make sure that our partner is pursuing the Lord as much as we are. Here are 5 signs the Christian man you're with is the one God made perfectly for you:

He prays for you and your relationship.

A man that asks you if he can pray for you? Keep him. That is the type of man that doesn't just believe in good wishes but believes in the power of prayer. If your boyfriend prayers over you in times of discomfort, or in times that you are struggling, that is a true Christian. Sometimes guys will just hope for the best in having your relationship bloom and grow and hope what they're doing is enough to keep you. A Christian man won't hold those standards for himself but pray that the relationship that you have built is in His name.

He doesn't just pursue you, but also pursues the Lord.

Not only should your boyfriend be wanting to impress you and make sure you feel loved but should be constantly pursuing that stronger relationship with the Lord. He is reading scripture, journaling about the Bible, and wanting to have those special, elegant moments with the Lord, you know he's the one. I know many times, girls want to be able to say, "I am my boyfriend's No. 1, and I'm the thing he loves most," but shouldn't he be putting the Lord before you? Keep the guy who is constantly growing in his relationship with the Lord and is making a point that he is pursuing Him too.

He leads you back to Him.

In relationships, you may begin to feel "lost" or just in a deep pit in your life. If your boyfriend keeps reminding you daily, about the power of prayer and suggesting to you to take a night of silence with just you and the Father, listen to him. Not always will guys want you to rely on something greater to find comfort in but a godly man is not going to be content with simply telling you that everything will be okay, he will feel content by consistently leading you back to the cross.

He's exactly who you prayed for and more.

We all want the perfect guy that we have seen in our dreams of the future, but how often does that really happen? A man who follows closely in the image of the Lord by the kindness of their heart, how they love others, and by trying to be an example of who he is, is a guy that you should be proud to be with. Those fairytale wishes you used to have about the man in your future will seem so small now. A guy that is following an image of Jesus is going to be very similar to the guy that you've prayed for. I mean c'mon. Someone who is kind, loving, AND wants to follow the image of Jesus? A true winner.

He respects you.

A Christian man is going to respect every single part of you. He will want to honor God with your body, mind and soul and nothing less of that. Conversations will be healthy. He will give you the attention while you are together. He will respect if you just "need a day" or some time to yourself. If your relationship is based on honesty, you both are respecting each other. At the end of the day, he will love you for who you are, what you stand for, and will show that respect with both his actions and words.

I hope that these signs can be ones that you are able to look at it and evaluate if he is eager to hold Jesus first in your relationship and if he is a Jesus-loving, Christian man.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
