How to Know if They Are the OneSample

1 Corinthians 7 states that a widow (and anyone who is single) is free to marry whom they wish.
The verse does not say she should marry whom God chooses, but that they have the freedom to marry whom they choose. You are free to choose your spouse and marry whomever you want.
When the Word reads "whom she wishes" it is implying that there should be attraction and a desire to be with them. The only criterion to marry someone is that they walk with God, meaning they have a relationship with the Lord.
However, you should be wary of continuing the relationship if you notice that you would not want your kids to be like them.
If you find yourself thinking that you do not want your kids to be like the person you are dating (character, personality, and attitude), that's often a powerful sign that you should not date them.
And also, check internally at the peace you feel. As a believer, God will give you peace about marrying the person you are dating. If not, then maybe you should not marry them.
Let's Pray:
Thank you, Lord for the freedom to choose. I do not want to make the wrong choice, guide me. I want to choose someone who loves You more than they love me.
