Should Christians Date Online?

Is it wrong for a Christian to use a Dating App or an Online Dating Service? Is it sinful to search in these places as a Christian with good intentions looking for someone who could potentially be a spouse someday? What if there are no good choices where I live and I meet someone through one of these services outside the area I live, would this be an impossibility?

In this episode of the Straight Truth Podcast Dr. Richard Caldwell and host, Dr. Josh Philpot discuss these questions and seek to answer them with a biblical perspective. Dr. Caldwell brings his years of experience as a pastor who has married and counseled numerous couples to the table. Together they give us food for thought and encourage us to consider carefully what is said and why it is said.

Dr. Caldwell begins by saying that he doesn’t believe that we can say it’s sinful for a Christian to use dating apps or online dating services. He comments that he even knows couples in recent years who have met that way and by God’s providence it has worked out in their favor, they both love the Lord and they have a good marriage today. So he says we can’t rule apps and services out.

Christians Must Think About the Standard for Marriage

However, he does say that Christians must think about the standard for marriage. For a Christian, the biblical parameter is set, it’s fixed. The standard or parameter for marriage is ‘in Christ’. As Christians, we are to desire to find someone who is in the Lord.
