1) Sign a binding contract

2) List 10 things you want in a mate and the 10 things you have to offer

3) If your want list matches their offer list and their offer list matches your want list 100% . . .then marraige is mandatory.



Any opinions?

Well, I think I would be just a bit more picky than just 10 things. Or put it another way, Meet specific theology requirements, plus a few qualities and interests.



I don't do well with dating, can't figure out the whole subtlety of going meeting someone to entering into a committed relationship. Wish I could just skip that step and go straight to marriage.

I wouldn't sign up, but I think it could work.

Make it use language like Ebay. You know: "Filling out this form is a contract. You will be legally obligated to marry the person that matches your 10 list. Click Cancel now if you do not want to marry."

That�s an interesting question, violakat. I guess if you believe that God only has one person in mind, then that wouldn�t happen, because God is sovereign it is not God�s will. But, God doesn�t have anyone in mind, but that his will is that you marry someone who is a Christian, then you are back to square one.



Predestination vs Free Will, just keeps popping back up.



The one thing that most people tend to forget is that on most arranged marriages the couple usually has the last word. It was usually only the wealthy who tended to be forced into marriage because they had few people who they could choose from.

God has things all worked out, but we are just mere humans. The questions would be crafted by humans....so might conceivably have a tiny little possibility for error.



However, we could do a literature review followed by an ethographic study with some field research and see what happens. Sparrow may have just revolutionized the world of dating and marriage. Grin.



Besides, obviously there is room for improvement in the marriage making.

Ahhhhhhh if only it took ten items on THE LIST!! My list had 6 main areas - but I hadn't even included checking out their family and family situations. Nor had I thought about asking if they'd ever been arrested!



If someone started a 'LIST', I bet it might never be completed! People would add new thoughts to consider because of their experiences and the list would just keep growing!



Ten things - if only!



May God grant us patience as we wait on His choice for our mate.
