There was an interesting comment in Christianity Today that might be important to consider for those who are thinking of rushing into a relationship....Sociologist Brad Wilcox noted that the highest rate of domestic violence in America today is among nominal Christians - those men who wear the name of Christian but rarely darken a church door.

Just something to consider when narrowing the field....if he's not interested in pursuing spiritual things now, don't count on it changing.
