We're a faith building singles community. Since our launch in , over , singles joined our service, making cMatch a top ranked Christian dating site, featuring a highly experienced staff. As a Christian dating site we believe that marriage is a sacred covenant between man and woman, ordained by God as part of His divine plan for each of us. So there's more to it than just love and romance. God says in Genesis 2: Sometimes it feels like his plans are limiting us, and sometimes it's not easy to wait for God's timing.
However, who other than our Creator knows best how we can flourish and fully achieve our purpose? The Bible teaches us that God wants the best for us: Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
The apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 6: However, many Christians can't find their soul mate in church, and many singles are simply too busy to maintain an active social life. This is why we want to help unmarried Christians to meet other Christian singles — for a serious relationship, but also for fellowship and spiritual growth. Jesus spoke about marriage in Mark Sadly, it also shows our brokenness, when we review the divorce rate, even among Christians.
Therefore we believe every relationship is worth fighting for.
This is why you can only join cMatch if you're truly single — it means you can't join if you're 'almost divorced' or separated. Many Christians are hesitant to write a personals ad, since they want to wait for God's guidance. After all, choosing your spouse is a choice for life.

With the tensions and conflicts that can exist in a relationship, Spencer said the foundation of faith becomes an important unifying force. Sociologist Gerald Mendelsohn says the practice of choosing a romantic partner with a shared religion, culture, ethnicity and or nationality, is driving the demand for niche religious dating sites like ChristianMingle, JDate, which caters to Jewish singles, and Muslima, for Muslims.
And as these sites become more popular, the dating industry rakes in higher revenues. Mendelsohn says research shows that marriage among partners of the same religion is on the decline.
While young people are more likely than ever to date outside their religion, those who still prefer to date within their religion are capitalizing on niche online communities. Wolf, 29, said that many of the people he has met through JDate feel the same way.
