FSS-The Faith Statement System®
Christian Internet courtship just got easier.
Introducing a new way of matching that skips over old dating challenges as you discover the Christian in you!
Blessed Dates has a system of presenting Christian marriage candidates like no other Internet website in the world. How are you matched?
By your Faith.
Blessed Dates matches you with what you believe about God, Jesus, yourself, and the Bible. While you are building your profile, you might find out a lot about yourself, as you will be using the FSS® or “Faith Matching System”. This allows you to choose from over 300 different statements that reflect your feelings about God, your personal details, your occupation, even things such as, if you like Chinese food… everything. Even your political views, if you choose, can be shown publicly as well as privately. But more importantly, the questions about your Faith in Jesus Christ, how you live your life near Him, are there to choose to show the world – just click where you agree! On top of that, in each section you’ll find a personal statement box where you can clarify these statements with comments of your own making. You can actually read a bit about how someone feels about everything from sin to salvation, before you ever meet. You can see quickly if someone’s beliefs are truly the same as your own.
We truly believe that when you can get an accurate picture of another person’s Faith in God, you learn much more about them; their personality, their values, and their culture. Details like affection for garage sales, golf, and cowboy movies seem trivial, but shouldn’t be dismissed. When these social factors match, the odds of you living “happily ever after” in your marriage go up sharply. Happy, LASTING marriage is what Blessed Dates is about; not marrying Miss or Mister “Right Now”, but instead - Miss or Mister “Right”.
Hopefully you will find this to be helpful in your search for your future mate, and that the person you meet will have the same love of God, and Christ, as you do! With Christ between you, some common interests, and compatible personalities -- your marriage can last a lifetime. And that’s what Blessed Dates is all about, meeting that one who can last the test of time.
Love and Marriage take place in God’s time,
not on your stopwatch.
Don’t think He has forgotten you; maybe you or
your future mate aren’t quite ready yet.
For those of you who have been “around the block” a few times, Internet dating websites might seem discouraging, either by your own experiences, if it doesn’t proceed as you think it should, or by observing others who haven't matched up well. It doesn’t help to see unhappy friends fail at dating on the Internet, either because they’re still alone, never found the right partner, or have married a mismatch. One has to ask, why do some Internet relationships go bad? And why do some succeed so well?
Our opinion is that when relationships fail, the central reason is more often than not because Christ isn’t the primary force holding them together. Being patient, being aware that all comes to good for those who love the Lord, is paramount. As you let go and let God have control of this issue, the problems disappear. But you have to truly let go.
Getting married is one thing, and staying married is another. Blessed Dates is about finding a partner that's permanent, whom you can believe in. It's about finding who is truly right. That doesn't happen overnight and takes extra work. Everybody seems to know somebody who married on the Internet, but did you track to see how long it lasted? In fact it’s gotten so popular that the odds are today, you personally know people who have successfully married on the Internet, and are happy to this day. But you probably also know a couple that met the same way, and divorced. The couple that lasts, likely they share God, or a profound sense of family. Our focus is to bring people together in lasting love through Jesus Christ. That takes extra time. As time rolls by in looking for a mate online, some people get discouraged, and begin to question themselves, forgetting that this comes in God’s time, not their own. And that their future partner has details of their lives to conquer too.
God knows when the time is right, more than you do, for both of you. You clearly have chosen this website because you’re serious about commitment and looking for someone who feels the same way you do. The fact that you are taking longer, being choosy, keeping a watch on your emotions until you truly want to get involved, may just assure your marriage to be happy and forever.
