7 Ways to know you’re in a relationship with a Godly Man
#1 He is clear about the vision and direction of the relationship.
Godly men don’t play games with your emotions. As clear as he was about initiating the relationship, he will be equally as clear about the direction of the relationship too. He leaves no room for guessing and assuming.
#2 He prays with you and for you.
He’s a man of faith and understands the significance of how prayer works. Not only does he encourages you, but also prays with and for you with anticipation of great results.
#3 He refuses to play house and live with you.
For him, no one is moving in until after the wedding ceremony. He’s a firm believer in avoiding even the appearance of evil. He chooses rather to maintain a life of integrity and character. Mantra here: Why play house when you can do real house later.
#4 He won’t pressure you to have sex before saying ‘I do.’
He will not pressure, coerce, beg, tempt or make you feel guilty about not giving him any. He protects you in this most sacred area you’ve both vowed to keep holy until marriage. For him, patience really is a virtue. He is willing to forgo a moment of pleasure for a lifetime of it later.
#5 He won’t degrade, belittle or use foul language towards you, around you or at you.
He honors and respects you. He esteems you highly. He understands the power of his words. Once spoken, they can never be retracted. Instead of cursing you, he blesses you. Instead of knocking you down, he builds you up. Instead of letting you deal with hard times alone, he comforts you.
#6 He puts God before you.
He doesn’t have a problem with priority. As much as he loves you, he loves God more. No amount of tears or manipulations can ever change that. When what you want contradicts what God has said, without question, he sticks to what God has said.
#7 He loves you unconditionally.
Life has its challenges. Some of those challenges are more defining than others. However, his love for you is unhindered by them all. The love he has for you goes deep down to the core of who you are and not his expectations of what you can become. Circumstances, hard times, nor tragedies will ever change that. This man loves you unconditionally.

#6 for me is first. These are great guide lines. A good reflection for men to decide if that is what they are actually doing and a good reflection for women to ask how much of their relationship reflects his. Just sayin
Great insight. 🙂

I’ve met a man like that but in 3 months of seeing him, I didn’t know where he lives as his children’s mum lives in the same house as him but he said have nothing together. Had to stop seeing him when I offered to follow him to his church but he turned me down saying it will inconvenience him. Advice please
I’m glad you’re out that Amelie. Looks like a wise decision. Contact us via email when time permits.
Ladies, I have known many men who led their relationships in this manner..and many are celebrating over 30 yrs of marriage. If that’s what you are looking for, become the God focused woman that will draw him to you! I haven’t found mine, but my life as a single Christian remains rich and full of love.
Awesome encouragement Mary! Thank you for sharing. 🙂

Here’s where prayer and discernment comes in handy.
Thank You!!! Thank You!!! Thank You!!!
Even when you know things sometimes it’s hard when you are actually going through a situation because sometimes you tend to want to make things work by compromising who you are and what you know. Thank You for the Reminder!!! God Bless You and Your Ministry of Love 🙂
Thank you kindly!
I thought this was excellent! As well as the one about being in a relationship with a godly woman. I have a question concerning #3 for both: “The house is yours; the bills are yours; the laundry is yours; the grocery shopping and meals to cook are yours too. She clearly understands that a ‘wife benefits’ only comes within the parameter of the sacred union of marriage.” This is obviously from the woman’s version of the article, but the man’s version does not have a list of things. Is it expected that a godly man helps her with her personal bills, projects around her house or apartment (like putting up shelves, painting, working on electronic equipment), grocery shopping… etc. Wouldn’t those be benefits of having a husband? I am also speaking from recent experience with a woman who believed this way. Could you expound on this?
Absolutely James. You are on point. Those are some of the benefits of having a husband for sure. However, there are some things both can do for each other when they are in a committed relationship – without crossing the lines. Clearly, there are certain inherent benefits that come with “I do” that should not be expected beforehand. However, if she wants to cook a meal for him one day or if she needs help moving a heavy item and he does it, I find no fault in either. 🙂
Thank you so much for responding! I agreed wholeheartedly with what you stated. This brings about another issue. We know that the Scripture clearly states that we should not defraud one another and that we should love our neighbor as ourselves. The world should know us by our love one toward another…. etc. When women go out with their women friends they don’t expect their friend to pay for them every time they go out together. Likewise when we as men go out together it is the same thing. Why would a man be expected to pay for everything when he’s going out with a woman that is not his wife yet? Movies, dinner, gasoline… etc.
