Can you recommend a Christian dating site

I had to think about this question and the postings after.
The Bible offers several insights regarding finding a wife, emphasizing both divine guidance and personal responsibility.
I tend to look at life as a too things. One is Freewill to take, and create paths I want. Two, to pray for path that God may answer.
The difference is, #1 depend on me 100% making the right choices and path, #2 Helps me take path in a way that pleases God.
When it comes to God and Dating sites. There exist no biblical reason I can find that God did not point the person to such a site, if it was indeed
prayed upon and a path was presented.
Just My Opinion and My Perspective.

The Bible offers several insights regarding finding a wife, emphasizing both divine guidance and personal responsibility.
- Divine Guidance: The Bible teaches that God is involved in our lives, including in relationships. Proverbs 19:14 says, "Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord." This verse suggests that God can bless someone with a wise and virtuous wife. Additionally, Proverbs 18:22 states, "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord," which underscores marriage as a divine blessing.
- Personal Responsibility and Virtue: While God may guide, the Bible also emphasizes the importance of wisdom and personal choices in relationships. For example, Proverbs 31 describes the characteristics of a virtuous wife, highlighting attributes such as hard work, wisdom, and care for her family. This suggests that a man should seek these qualities and be intentional in his search.
- Trusting in God’s Timing and Path: Passages like Proverbs 3:5-6 encourage trust in God's direction in all areas of life, including relationships: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." This implies that seeking God’s guidance through prayer and trust is key.
- Walking in Wisdom: Scriptures also instruct individuals to follow a path of wisdom. Ephesians 5:15-17 advises, "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is." This encourages Christians to seek wisdom in their decisions, including finding a spouse.

Be careful with dating sites.
Read their terms and conditions always.
They are reluctant to return a contact if you wish to withdraw form those terms and conditions and they are hard to navigate.( lots of mumbo jumbo and red tape if you know what I mean)
