Do you believe a woman’s romantic relationships form a big part of her life?
This was something I heard a lot, growing up. Some people also said that a woman is at her happiest in a relationship.
Notwithstanding the above, you probably agree that choosing a spouse is one of the most important decisions we will ever make and one that will affect the trajectory of our lives.
So, I scoured my sources for some of the most instructive and insightful relationship quotes for single Christian women. I pray you find these quotes helpful and soul-enriching.
I have divided the quotes into four main headings:
- Quotes about Love
- Quotes about dating and marriage
- Quotes about choosing the right man
- Quotes about friendships in relationships
Quotes About Love
Learning to love unselfishly is not an easy task. It runs counter to our self-centered nature.”
Rick Warren
Your longing for an intimate relationship with another person is something you were created to feel. It doesn’t mean that you are unholy or that you haven’t let Jesus fill your heart the way he should. It means you’re human, created in the image of God, a God who loves, who connects, and who longs for relationship himself.”
Debra Fileta
Love is worthless unless it acts out, unless it’s expressed in deed and behaviour.”
Dr. David Jeremiah
I cannot love you as I love myself until I love God as I ought to love Him.”
Jack Hyles
The biblical concept of love says no to acts of selfishness within marital and other human relationships.”
R.C. Sproul
Quotes about dating and marriage
Dating with no regrets means keeping your focus on Jesus, so that no matter what happens in your relationships with others, your relationship with God remains intact.”
Debra Fileta, True Love Dates
It’s better to wait long than to marry wrong.”
Anon
Attraction isn’t something that only happens once, with one person. It’s part of what drives humans. Our attraction to each other, to art, to food, to entertainment. Attraction. Is fun. So when you decide to commit to someone, you aren’t saying, ‘I promise I’ll never be attracted to anyone else.’ You’re saying, ‘I promise to commit to you, despite my potential future attraction to other people.”
Colleen Hoover, Regretting you
I scarcely need remind you…that marriage was instituted by God to be an object lesson to the world of the relationship of a believer to Himself. Each of you will play a significant role in living out this lesson.”
Dr. Dwight Pentecost (to the Shirers).
A man chooses a bride, loves her, makes a covenant with her, and gives himself completely to her. The woman responds by receiving his love, surrendering to him, entering into this covenant bond with him, and becoming one flesh with him.”
Priscilla Shirer, Fervent
Quotes about choosing the right man
A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek him just to find her.”
Max Lucado
A real man, the kind of man a woman wants to give her life to, is one who will respect her dignity, who will honor her like the valuable treasure she is”
Leslie Ludy
No matter how many rules we make for ourselves, rules don’t create godly relationships. Only leaning on our faithful Father and longing to please Him with everything we do will set the stage for a beautiful romance.”
Eric Ludy
The only trick, like that of Genesis, is to allow God to be the one who gives, and not to wish to get it for ourselves. Then the outside appearance would not matter that much, but what is instilled within the character would be our greatest concern.”
Ntombizodwa Siyaya, Meeting Mr Right
You should never compromise your morals for someone else,”
Excerpt From: Frame, Mary. “Imperfect Chemistry.”
Quotes about friendships in relationships
Respect is more valuable than the amount of times guys flirt with you. It’s better to have one trustworthy real man than any amount of boys interest in you. The “cool” guys may not notice or date you but the right one will marry you.”
Rachel Hamilton
There are some men and some women in whose company we are always at our best. While with them we cannot think mean thoughts or speak ungenerous words. Their mere presence is elevation, purification, sanctity. All the best stops in our nature are drawn out by their intercourse, and we find a music in our souls that was never there before.”
Henry Drummond
Okay, here’s how to do relationships – be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God, in Christ, also has forgiven you.”
Chip Ingram
Countless mistakes in marriage, parenting, ministry, and other relationships are failures to balance grace and truth. Sometimes we neglect both. Often we choose one over the other.”
Randy Alcorn
Your life and my life flow into each other as waves, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality – not as we expect it to be but as it is – is to see that unless we live for each other in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily;”
Frederick Buechner
In closing – Relationships matter
I hope you enjoyed these quotes. Many of them will have you nodding in agreement, and there are a few of them that you need to sit with, to ponder and reflect on so it sinks in.
Whatever you do, I pray that you give God’s truth its preeminence in your life, and allow him lead you in your relationship decisions.
