7 Reasons Why My Boyfriend Must Believe in God

Instead of starting off with some word foreplay, let’s hop straight into why my boyfriend must believe in God.

1. Because I believe in God.
2. Because I’d feel like it’d be a slap in God’s face to date someone who didn’t believe in His existence.
3. Because God has done so much in my life that I couldn’t date someone who couldn’t understand and appreciate the magnitude of His greatness.
4. Because I want my future children to have a relationship with God and that’d be weird if everyone in their immediate family gooned for God except for their father.
5. Because I like going to church and don’t want to be one of those women that attends while their husband is constantly MIA.
6. Because I think growing together with someone spiritually is just as attractive as growing together amiably and romantically. I actually think it strengthens those two.
7. Because if God tells me to do something that isn’t conventional, I don’t have time to explain it to someone who couldn’t support me regardless.

Simply put, we gotta be equally yoked we’re going to be together. 2 Corinthians 6:14 states that you shouldn’t be joined together with an unbeliever. If the core to my existence stems from my belief in God, my boyfriend must understand that I am truly invested in Him. And I would expect the same thoughts from him. Hebrews 11:6 says it’s impossible to please God if you don’t believe in Him. Because God has been in my life a lot longer than some fly-by-night, I rather please Him than him.

I don’t think this is asking for too much.
