Difficulty Finding Like-Minded Spouses

- Even within Christian communities, cultural and doctrinal alignment is often lacking.
Early Oversight and Transparency
- Quickly involve elders or parents to help ask important questions and provide oversight in courtships.
- Discuss sexual history early to avoid surprises and build trust.

- Most single Christians today are often functional feminists or egalitarians without deep theological grounding.
- This leads to many mismatches even when identifying as Christian.
