I’m a 27-year-old man. Height: 6'0", Weight: 202 lbs. My current lifts are: Bench – 250, Squat – 315, Deadlift – 335 (all for 5x5). I earn $70K/year, and I’m finishing up my MBA, so I expect my income to increase in the near future.
Spiritually, I pray twice a day and devote time to Scripture every Saturday. I’ve read the Bible cover to cover twice, and my analytical nature has taken me deep into its history, compilation, and theology. Because of that, my understanding of the Bible isn’t always “mainstream,” but I try to keep my faith grounded and not let intellectual exploration get in the way of conviction and obedience.
I recently ended a two-year relationship with a woman who claimed to be a Christian but embraced feminist ideology. She had issues with the biblical concept of submission, didn’t respect boundaries—like avoiding girls’ trips—and frequently challenged the idea that a man is called to lead. I loved her, but our values simply didn’t align.
Now I’m in a bit of a rut. I want a wife who truly fears God—not just someone who quotes Scripture, but someone who lives it. I thought I had found that once, but in hindsight, maybe I was just blinded by emotion.
What’s the best way to find a God-fearing, Scripture-submitting woman who’s actually serious about biblical marriage?
Would appreciate insight from any who’ve walked this road.
