Green flag for me in a man is that he is a man of God. That he lives in obedience to God he is comfortable to be the head of our relationship. An alpha male. A man that share the same Christian values as me. A man that understand that we are not perfect we will make mistakes but together with love compassion kindness empathy we can forgive each other. A man willing to get married live in harmony and no matter the circumstances understand that marriage is for life

Willingness to go back to what the Bible would say regarding an issue, struggle or conflict. Since we are not perfect, humility to check what the Word of God says is a green flag for me.

My green flags are he should have all have a biblical view of life i.e, lives in the consciousness of how to please God by consistently obeying the word, e.g, regular fellowship & submission to one & other, accountable to mature men & women in the faith to be discipled. Is he walking in brotherly love towards sisters? Is he a faithful man at work or friendship? Is he living in sexual purity? Is he yielded to the holyspirit & are there fruit? Is he a provider & Can he die to self like christ?

When he has intentionally surrounded himself with godly male mentors/trusted individuals who provide accountability, encouragement, and wisdom. This demonstrates humility, a willingness to grow, and a desire to live in alignment with biblical principles. Having people he asks to speak into his life reflects his commitment to integrity and shows that he values community and accountability in his walk with Christ.

A lady who believes in the teachings of the Lord and follows him in practice, not just in words. She must believe in the biblical view of marriage (and hold true to the marital vows), which should last a lifetime, except for when infidelity is involved. She must want kids, not believe in abortion. She must be modest and be willing to live our life with God and his teachings at the centre. So, basically, the good wife outlined in the bible.

Puts God first and knows or understands God for himself first. Not just following what religious leaders, parents or other people say but he can have an intimate relationship with God. It assures me that he will seek or talk to God first instead of a fellow being when he encounters challenges or celebrations

God first always, someone who loves God more than I do, who needs God more than me, finds strength and comfort from God first, someone who wants to serve Jesus together, even if it meant full time study, missions, serving etc Healthy spiritually and physically, understanding that they go hand in hand compliments to each other Someone down to earth, not too self righteous, or too liberal, a good balance of genuine good person and godliness, non judgemental and empathy for the less fortunate ❤

@Shauna-Kaye A mental boundary is the need for a bit of time to myself after work for instance, to decompress from the day. It's an introvert thing, but I need that space. An emotional one is to be able to say no to something (in any context) and not feel guilty about it. Being able to take some time to reply to messages ect. What about yours?

If it’s a guy, he has other godly men in his life that he turns to for mentorship, accountability, he is essentially being discipled. Same with a woman, having people in your life who love Jesus, who you can turn to asking for prayer, advice etc.

It’s crucial to stay open and in constant prayer. These days, everything can feel like a red flag, and people may judge harshly. While no one is perfect and red flags will exist, focus on seeking God’s guidance. Trust Him to lead you to the right person, knowing that in the end, love covers all.

Their priorities will either be a source of peace or limitless contention. If I don’t see the things that need to be priorities for my calling in them then it isn’t their calling. It’s easy for people to say, “I love God” but generally i’m looking for specific that boil down to a persons calling in Christ. If i don’t see specifics: red flag.

💚 Jesus is part of his day to day life and comes first when he is faced with choices 💚 he treats his family and people who serve him (waiter/waitresses, tellers, etc) with kindness and respect 💚 he is hardworking and a provider, doesn’t mind paying for a meal on a date. Money is not the most important thing to him. 💚 he is respectful to others regardless of their financial status or title. 💚 he is humble to recognise his flaws & honest about everything 💚 is polite 💚 makes me smile/laugh

• Consistency of his devotion to God. • Doesn’t mind women wearing jeans (I had a bad experience of extremism and yeah, women wearing jeans was apparently bad?). • Displays fruits of the Holy Spirit. • Prays and loves on people who are not nice to him or those he loves and doesn’t complain or yap on about the negatives of people and pulls others up off they do. • Bananas for Jesus. • Can have a respectful and healthy discussion even when disagreements are present.

Besides the obligatory puts Christ first, I’d say two way conversations. Being able to ramble together is a good sign! Among my friends we are known to send 10 to 15 minute voice messages. Frequency of communication is also important. Green flag if we’re talking through out the day!
