Online Dating Is Bigger Than Porn

I try to get face time with every person that comes to Forefront Church.
I enjoy learning from them.
Hearing their story.
It’s always such a cool experience.

Recently, I had been talking with a few different couples who disclosed that they had met online. Their stories were very cool. I was glad that they had found someone (I’m actually performing a wedding for one next month). But, it got me thinking, “How big is the online dating scene?” If I had never met my beautiful wife, as much as I love technology- I’m not sure online dating would be the avenue for me. I’m just an old fashioned kind of guy. I use a computer all day, I wouldn’t want to use it again to find someone.

But, let’s face it- finding a true, deep, and meaningful relationship is tough.
Especially when it comes to meeting someone who shares your same love for God.
So, I did a little research and came across this graph that breaks it down to show just how big the online dating industry is.
It Blew My Mind.
I had no idea that many people used the internet to find companionship.
To me, this speaks to the fact that a lot of people out there are lonely.
They want someone to share life with.
The best foundation for sharing life, (in my opinion) is to first give your life away.
To allow God to lead us.
When we submit to Him, we are in a much better place to enter in to a strong, healthy relationship.
