Hello, Guest!

Article about is it ok to date an older man:
Here are 4 points to consider if you want to date or marry a Christian who is older or younger than you. Spiritual Maturity Is More Important than Age in Christian Relationships. I think there are three terms that often get jumbled together when talking about a Christian dating someone who is older or younger.

Your age
your spiritual age
and your spiritual maturity. When you want to rank the importance of these in the success of a Christian relationship I believe your spiritual maturity is most important
your spiritual age is next important
and then you physical age is last. We all know what physical age means. You spiritual age refers to when you became a Christian. Your spiritual maturity refers to how much you know about the Bible and how much of that knowledge you live out in your life (Galatians 5:22-23). I’m not saying your physical age is not an important factor in relationships. I’m just saying it’s not as important as your spiritual maturity. If you are the same physical age but you are far more spiritually mature than someone
you will not be as happy with this person as you might be with someone younger than you who is closer to your spiritual maturity or ever more spiritually mature than you. Notice the emphasis on character rather than age in Ruth 3:10-11: The Lord bless you
my daughter
” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men
whether rich or poor. 11 And now
my daughter
don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.” Ruth wanted to be with Boaz because he was a good man
not because he was her age. And Boaz wanted to be with Ruth not because she was younger but because she had noble character. Character is always more important than chronology. The Greater the Age Difference the More Sacrifice Both Christians Will Need to Make. My wife is five years older than me. I asked her out when I was 20 and we got married when I was 22. She was already an RN. I would not be done with getting my masters in pastoral counseling and graduating from seminary until I was 26 years old. When we got together
we knew we were very compatible and on the same spiritual maturity level but we also knew we both would have to make sacrifices to be together because of our age difference. She would have to slow down on some of the life events that normally happen at her age and I would have to speed up some of the normal life events for my age. I would have to skip over some things and get through things faster and she would have to delay some things and wait longer. For example
she had to wait for me to finish up school and get a better job before we could have kids and I was not going to be able to ease into adulthood slowly. I finished my bachelor’s degree and we had our first child as I was finishing up my master’s degree. Both Bethany and I were happy to do this and neither thought twice about it. Our gain was far greater than anything we gave up to be together. But if you want to date and marry someone who is in a different age bracket
you should expect to make sacrifices to be with this person in a relationship. Know that the Younger Person Has More Changing to Do that the Older Person. I was getting counseling to prepare for my future marriage with Bethany and as I was talking with the counselor he let me know there was no issue with me marrying an older woman.
