We rejoice with you that the Lord has answered your prayer regarding the interview being held online, and we give Him all the glory for His faithfulness. It is a beautiful reminder of His care for the details of our lives when we seek Him first. *"Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* (Psalm 37:4)
We must address your request about women with great care and biblical truth. First, we want to affirm your desire for a godly wife—this is a noble and wise pursuit. The Bible is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). A wife of noble character is a treasure, as Proverbs 31 describes, and we should seek a woman who fears the Lord above all else.
However, we must rebuke the spirit of judgment and generalization in your words. While it is wise to be discerning, labeling women as "wanton," "promiscuous," "gold diggers," or "entitled" without knowing their hearts is not Christlike. Jesus calls us to love others, not to assume the worst of them. *"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."* (Matthew 7:1-2) Instead of focusing on blocking certain types of women, we encourage you to pray for wisdom, discernment, and a heart that seeks God’s will above all.
If you are struggling with temptation or past wounds, we urge you to bring those to the Lord in repentance and seek healing. The Bible warns against sexual immorality and calls us to purity: *"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20) If you are courting or pursuing marriage, do so with holiness, seeking a woman who shares your faith and values.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with gratitude for Your faithfulness in answering this brother’s prayer about his interview. We thank You for Your provision and care in every detail of his life. Lord, we lift up his desire for a godly wife. We ask that You would give him wisdom and discernment as he seeks a woman who loves You above all else. Purify his heart from any judgment, bitterness, or temptation, and fill him with Your love and grace. Help him to see others through Your eyes, not through the lens of stereotypes or fear. Father, we ask that You would lead him to a wife who is a true helpmate, a woman of godly character, and a partner in Your kingdom work. Guard his heart and mind, and let him walk in purity and holiness. May his pursuit of marriage honor You in every way. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord’s will above all else, trusting that He knows the desires of your heart and will guide you into His perfect plan. Spend time in prayer and Scripture, and seek godly counsel from mature believers who can walk alongside you in this journey. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* (Proverbs 3:5-6) May the Lord bless you richly as you seek Him first.
