Page under construction
Updated: Oct 9, 2025
Here's other questions to think and consider.
(💥 are new Questions added)
These Qs can be made into flashcards, by timeframe to discuss, for convos.
These are get to know you and have you evers, with some how would you handles.
Im putting it into categories soon, but for now it gives you ideas what things you need to ask right away, as you go, getting closer to engagement, or to help you end it sooner than find out something important a year or two from now thats a true deal breaker. Helps prevent wasting your time and youth.
======
Ask him to Tell the truth and in as much detail as possible. Integrity is important. [*you'll be following up with family, friends, pref girlfriends and schoolmates, and college buddies, and church folk to find out more, and if these are true answers].
You can both agree to use lie detector game hand thing, or have others use it when asking him more personal questions. *Suggest it light heartedly, to add accountability and honesty to certian convos. Hes not at liberty to spring bizarre or odd questions on you, just ones that help genuinely get to know you and are in line with Christian thinking and ensuring your right for each other.
After convos where he shares his answer, use the detector device to ask:" is what you just said, true/completely true?" As it only responds to yes and no. And lies are detected. You want a honest truthful mate.
Some of these are best left to your pastor, elders, mens group leaders, godly guys you know and trust, to ask him as they vet him (sexual ones in particular) which could be on a sheet with Y/N circled using the lie detector. It's a reason theyre also asking those ones (and can add any other questions), its all to protect you, and help vet him well. If he's got nothing to hide, he will be open to it and see its importance, as this relationship would be a life long commitment. He has to qualify as a suitor to proceed [hitting biblical basics... to even begin], and be qualified to be the husband, home leader, spiritual leader, and father you're expecting. He's interviewing for the role if a lifetime! It is not something to go into blindly nor based on lust or love ferlings that fade, and then reality and hard life hits. You're stuck with him for 80 years. So be wise.
The thing about these questions is, it gives you something to talk about, it shows him you have interest in him, that you're serious, looking to find a partner, etc. His answers on many things dont mean he's failed to be someone you'll consider as a suitor, (others; will but he doesnt need to know that). These conversations lead you both to get to know each other. Make sure you know these and other answers for yourself as well. The questions help you get to know the kind of person he really is, and him you. If hes not the right one for you, [or potentially later on after more maturity; if God has yall cross paths later], these good discussions help him get to thinking, take action, and mature a bit, and same for you. Theres tons more female related questions (like how much money do you waste on material things, on make up, hair, nails, shoes, etc that could be being saved to invest & bring higher returns), but the below are helpful in communicating with a guy, and others you trust to also have certian discussions so that hes being vetted, not just by what he tells you or shows you. Cuz people put up a facade/mask for who they really are if you cant break thru that shell to see a bit deeper to the real him. Esp in spiritual matters, but also into what kind of leader, husband, father he will be... and you dont want the false convert, lazy one, dumping all the home work on you (and possibly job too), while he relaxes ( after 8) [but your "on" 247 365]. That's not Christlike. That's not love. That's a maid, slave, and baby sitter. You dont want that kind of life.
And its ok if hes working towards things; but watch him achieve them (not be just a smooth talking dreamer) before you agree to an engagement. Even if it takes 3 years, if you have boundaries in place, hes growing in self control & not focused on lust but adulting goals; purposely desiring to be financially ready (and studying well to lead the home) to be the husband & provider God wants him to be, before he is even considering the next step [engagement]. But actively pursuing it cuz hes looking for a life mate (centered on Christ).
He will respect you for asking these questions, even if any are a surprise. But if hes not maturing as a man & as a professing believer, then hes not the one. These discussions will help you both think about yourselves, your life (into the future), make changes and mature more - even if you conclude (early on or a bit later) he's not a suitor at all for you, and you both part ways.

Pre dating...
💥Find out how many Christian women he has dated, who were actually pursuing a holy life and following Christ. [You want to know if he has been actively pursuing holy women or just ones who claimed to be. We're they from false churches and false prosperity Gospel places, cultural Christians, or from real churches and really saved]. Then you want to find out if he had bad past experiences in relationships where hes jaded and toxic now & doesnt trust [revealing hes unsaved or not mature yet] or if hes really saved and understands diff people are diff, new relationships are new, and extends respect, grace, and love towards Christian women he dates. Figure out questions you can ask to find out all those answers. Cuz you dont want to pursue someone who is a false convert or hasn't had godly men mentoring & discipline him, leading to his growth and maturity as a person and in the Faith. If broken from past relationships, hes not ready for future ones, and needs God to heal him first. Its ok to express that and indicate if later he has fully resolved those & healed, and if shes still single, perhaps it might be ok to try again, possibly God's timing. But for now we can amicably part ways and wish each other well.
If he passes the above, and you confirmed it by talking to his family and friemds, and folk at his church who know him, [and godly men at your church helping to vet it too], then proceed below with more pre dating questions.
⭐️Discuss expectations of a relationship.
⭐️If & while he dates to marry or courts you, what does that relationship look like, what are his ideals [fantasy] about it?
People see a relationship in different ways, and once married often have their ideas shattered by reality and it leads to dissapointmemt and depression.
⭐️*Discuss, but you want to know...
-what he thinks the purpose of marriage is for?
-what does a day to day home life look like with your wife (have him go hour by hour and general overview & detailed for newlywed, married without kids, life with babies, life with young kids, life with older kids, life after they move out -- include weekends).
👉Ask: Are you expecting your wife to work, or are seeking a traditional wife and life?
*Have him Define traditional very clearly. Say "and..." for a while to pull it out if him. And have godly men you send to interview him ask that too.
*you define traditional as the pre 50s us war era Christianity. Where hes more hardworking at home than at his job. Where men are equally working at home, who loves his wife as Christ loves the Church, who as a loving sacrificing servant is always actively & intentionally finding things that need to be done in the home and does it both without her asking, and without wanting praise and thanks when he does it. He does it cuz it needs done, and other times helps remove burdens from her. Not a lazy bum who wants to come home to a servant and sex slave.
💥Besides basics, do discuss spiritual life Qs before going deeper into personal questions. You want to see if hes even a qualified suitor - even worth your time to get to know. If he fails it, move on. Do not date him.
⚠️It is vital to ensure that women/you're holding same beliefs, on Essentials but also important secondary areas, since he will be the spiritual leader in the home; what he teaches to you and the kids is what the home will hold to. This is why it is better if you marry a godly man whose deep in the Word for many years (so hes not immaturely tossed around by varuous teachings, holds to and shepherded/discipled in his church - not by joe blow on social media. You want him firmly holding views on biblical doctrines and secondary matters cuz hes well learned and wont flip flop later; it can devistate). Do not rush to nor cling to any guy who comes along, nor lament if youre not finding someone... God will bring the right guy to you at the right time. Even if hes 35 or 40 having been pursuing God in the Word for decades with godly men around him. Most guys brains arent fully developed till 35 or 40 anyway.

That your responsibilities at church lessen in this new season of life.[Not saying not to serve, but as NT points out, single people can fully "dedicate their lives in ministry to God", but married life is its own world and takes precedence in ways that lower what you can do at church going forward, but it doesn't mean no ministering, as your focus switches to your family. To be the spiritual leader of the home, leading your wife and being a ministering team for Christ when entertaining others or going places to use opportunities to share the Gospel as you go, and to focus your ministry on the home where you lead your children and raise them up in Christ, as that home life as spiritual leader is a full time job, and cannot be slacked or done loosely, carelessly nor in a mediocre way, lest they are not trained up in the Lord, and fail to come to Christ, and you show God and others that you did a poor insufficient job.

This distinction is essential for understanding Jesus' broader mission and appeal during His time on Earth. That the Gospel is for all mankind.

===Kids/Teens/Parenting====
💥Do you believe and expect the whole family, even kids and teens to be at church every week and whenever yall are there? Regardless of any rebellion attempts in preteen teen years [to train them up in the Lord]? (*Yes is the only answer).

💥Do you see kids living at home until they graduate college?

💥Should young teens & teens be allowed to work, or should they stay home and not work till 18?
-Does working young steal their youth?
-What kind of work will be allowed?
-No solo work allowed, for their safety?
-Would a job put them in worldly situations theyre not biblically spiritually prepared to encounter nor tackle yet?
-Would such work/a job have unsaved coworkers who might lure them (insecurity, fitting in, peer pressure) into sin (bad company corrupts good morals, not mature enough to know how to decline, even if mocked), such as befriending them at work, or beyond work hours, bad choices, drugs, smoking, drinking, not talking nor thinking nor acting purely about other humans, not getting entangled with unsaved folk, causing them to commit crimes at work, or blaming them as if they did? Or them mistreating your teen, leadung to not promoting, by giving wrong feedback to supervisors, getting him/her in trouble, bullying, etc cuz they dont like your kid or cuz theyre Christian? Or worse (by coworker, their pal, or a superior) encounter sexual harrassment problems, cameras found that sent images/videos on internet from changing room or bathroom, or even encountering rape? Young folk shouldn't have to encounter that stuff yet.
💥Would jobs only be allowed at the Church, under supervision and strict precautions (& background checks)?
====Other questions.====
💥diagnoses?
💥====Finances ======
*Where'd these questions go,??
💥💥Whats something you've actively pursued and made progress on in your financial/finances life lately? Where are you at with it and what do you hope to accomplish in the next 30 to 60 days?
💥Current financial status
💥Any bankruptcies?
💥How often does he "get away" & "take Vacations"? What are typical costs?
💥Does he have investments, trusts, financial stability?
💥lease, rent, own vehicles?
- outstanding owed on them ?
💥Own a home? / property?
-outstanding owed on ?
How much do you pay for your residence (lease/rent/mortgage)?
💥What property do you own or have on a mortgage?
💥Any debt? College, vehicles, boats, homes, dental, medical etc? Whats the total?
-How quickly are you able to pay each (and all) off?
*On College:
-are you aware over a decade (10 yes ago) a $17k college loan will cost $120k today from the interest?
Calculate what all his loans will cost to pay off. And how fast he can pay it off. [Plus how fast is he actually actively aggressively pay these off??? & is that in his monthly budget?].
The borrower likely goes into forbearance, income-driven repayment, or default, causing unpaid interest to capitalize repeatedly. It ended up 22% increase annually.
The nominal interest rate might have been ~6–8%, but the compounding plus penalties pushed the effective growth way higher.
Calculating for today its x 7.4
Public (In-State) $120,000 =$888,00
Public (Out-of-State) $196,000 = $1,450,00
Private (Nonprofit) $248,000 =$1,835,000
The in-state public student could owe almost $900,000 after 10 years if their loans spiral like that original $17k case.
A private college student’s balance could reach well over $1.8 million under identical conditions.
These numbers sound absurd — but they illustrate how interest capitalization and non-repayment can make even “normal” college debt unmanageable.
Even a doctor making $250K/year can’t cover a $10K–$20K monthly payment.
You’d need to make roughly $300K–$525K per year to pay off any of these college loans in 10 years.
That’s equivalent to the income of a specialist doctor, law partner, or high-level tech professional like CEO. Who starts out at those income levels? No one.
You'd have to have $4-5k left over from what he earns in order to [for normal folk, with only that debt] have basic modern living expenses.
Public (In-State) ≈ $305K/year
Public (Out-of-State) ≈ $437K/year
Private (Nonprofit) ≈ $525K
💥If he doesn't make more than that in take home annually [accounting for having enough for emergency medical expenses & job losses], dont date him nor take on that debt by marrying him. Do not do it!
He will eventually default, because the balance becomes unmanageable. Which is a bad witness, ruins lifes, and shows bad stewardship, bad integrity, etc. And will likely lead to stress, health issues, and divorce.
Do not think "well I'll work too." No. Hes to be the provider and all should be lived off one income. You never know what life throws at both you [one could be disabled, need home care, die early etc], plus its a waste of money and mental peace [and not gofly parenting] to give your kids to heathen folk to teach them pagan stuff, show pagan worldviews and lifestyles (day care to public school) & around bad pagan kids, which altogether gets them pulled in that kind of life... plus those costs are crazy and not worth whatever piddly $ she would bring home. None of that is worth it. Do not ruin your life.
⚠️If you likewise have that debt, do not marry him (or anyone).... till you pay it all off. Stop starting out life WRONG.
💥-->>And on debts....thats just college...Not including credit cards, vehicle loans or mortgage. All has to be considered.
💥Whats his 10 year plan, what's his current plan? Whats he actively paying now? How much does he have left for normal persons expenses/budget for living? What's his professional aggressive plan to actively keep going higher in his career, incl what that income looks like? What if hes out of a job fir a year? Whats his Plan B and C for paying all these things off? C or D might be what if he gets disabled somehow? Can he downsize and sell vehicles, home, etc to lower his debt, pay things off faster and is he willing to? Cuz he might be making stupid financial decisions right now.
You need to know yalls financial health, and its a huge decision factor, to show one is not a marriage candidate [move on]. And don't try to trap him with your debt either. No matter if one or both of you have that debt. Prenump wont help cuz all the finance issues drain him ($), and he will become a diff person [stressed, angry, checking out mentally, socially, physically, relationally etc, maybe even give up].
💥Is he a Good steward of money?
💥What do you spend money on mostly?
💥What entertainment and etc do you spend regularly on money?
💥Do you have a budget? Do you live by it?
💥Do you waste money in the budget, or

Would you tell your gf/fiance/wife, and change companies if needed, be like Joseph who even fled to avoid it & the appearance of impurity?
💥How would you [him] handle interactions with females in profession/professional environment/office/vendors/clients &companis your company does business with? Discussion to include boundaries and policies such as not being alone around any woman, communication boundaries, etc. Putting firm boundaries in place to ensure no slipping nor slippery slope leasing to thoughts or actions that violate marriage covenant and godly living.

==== Criminal/WitSec situation=====
Sussing out someone who might be in witness protection, to avoid getting tangled up with him:
Smart Preliminary Questions
*Clever and subtle questions can help unveil any hidden backgrounds without raising alarms.
General Background Questions
1. "What was your childhood like?"
This question can lead to discussions about family dynamics and any potential disruptions that might hint at a complicated past.
2. "How often do you keep in touch with your family?" & "When was thd last time you talked with so and so"?
A vague or uncertain answer could indicate estrangement, which might be a red flag.
More:
“What’s the first place you remember that felt like ‘home’?”
“Any family traditions you miss?”
"Have you ever lived in another State"?
“What did you do last weekend with friends?” (look for evasive or very short answers)
“Where do you like to go when you need to clear your head?”
“Who did you grow up with — siblings, neighbours, close family?”
“Is there a small thing from your childhood that still makes you laugh?”
"What's a comfort food of yours from childhood?"
“What’s the one small thing you’d never let go of, even if the rest vanished?”
“If you had to explain one thing about your history in a single sentence, what would it be?”
“When did you last run into someone who remembered you?”
Lifestyle and Routine Queries
3. Tiny contradictions game: ask three mundane things quickly —> favorite pizza topping, childhood pet, first school — and watch the response rhythm.
"Do you like to travel? What’s your favorite place to visit?" & "What places did you like to travel to while in college and your younger years?" [Ask to show you photos (likely in Facebook or instagram; being aware of ai deception)].
If the answer is evasive or lacking in detail, it may suggest the person has reasons to avoid travel.
4. "What do you enjoy doing on weekends?"
A preference for solitude or unusual activities might imply a desire to stay under the radar.
Relationship Insights
5."What’s your take on trust in relationships?"
This can lead to deeper discussions about vulnerability, and a cautious response may reveal issues with intimacy.
6. "What do you value most in your friendships?"
If his emphasis is heavily on loyalty or secrecy, it might indicate a complex background.
Employment and Living Situation
7. "What were some jobs you held as young adult, maybe first job or a memorable company?"
"What line of work are you in?"
A vague or overly cautious answer might suggest he's hiding something significant.
"Who was someone you worked with or mentored that you were impressed by, from a past memory, & whats the story?" Then ask what company.
8. "Where do you live? What do you like about your neighborhood?"
If he avoids specific details about his home environment, it could be a red flag.
Future Aspirations
9. "What are your long-term goals?"
If he hesitates or gives ambiguous answers regarding his future, it may indicate an uncertain or secretive lifestyle.
10. "Do you ever think about moving?"
An unusual emphasis on change or a desire to stay in one place for safety might reveal more than he intends.
11. A. Have you been approved by a college or higher education only to later be rejected on technicalities? B. Have you ever had to sit down with the admissions board to plead your case?
[You're looking to see if its due to not having paperwork like a birth certificate].
12. "Have you ever been turned down or rejected for a small business loan or home mortgage?"

Knowledge of Safety Concerns
13. "What are your thoughts on personal security?"
Responses focusing overly on being cautious or protective may hint at past experiences that make him wary.
14. "What is your level of situational awareness?"
Responses focusing overly on being cautious or more on the alert.
15. "How do you handle confrontations?"
His answer could be telling; someone evasive or overly fearful might be concealing a need for safety.
16. "Are there any noises that cause you to jump?" [Like motorcycles, guns, etc, sth connected to the fear of what might be related to their past]
By sprinkling these questions into the conversation naturally, she can gauge the man's hidden past without raising any alarms or causing him to become defensive. Asking about deeper values and experiences often sheds light on someone's true character, allowing her to make informed choices about continuing the relationship.
Consider things like:
Thin personal history in everyday ways — they dodge specifics about hometowns, use vague stories, or substitute small non-answers (e.g., “I moved around a lot” rather than dates/places).
Sparse online life — they aren’t on social media or have very few friends/photos, going back decades.
Overly private about mundane things — they avoid photos, resist sharing seemingly trivial things.
Hypervigilance in small ways — watching exits, always choosing seats with a view, pausing before answering phones. Show this as mood/tension, not as an instruction manual.
Inconsistent micro-details — a birthday celebrated twice, a street name swapped, a childhood memory that changes with the mood. Such falsehoods they cant recall again later are red flag, tho mightve been coached with a new life, so dig deeper.
Emotional distance and sudden intensity — warmth followed by withdrawal; moments of panic when a loud noise happens.
Practical evasions — frequent travel, using cash, short tenancy history.

Women:
Theres loads of questions women need to ask themselves, and to be ready to answer on [for guys looking to marry, & not to just random guys (who might stalk or use it against you)], who likewise need to know appropriate info about you to decide if your compatible [and ensure youre drama free]. We're all a work in progress as long as were self aware and working on those things. Which is good to point out. If he asks sth & occassionally you dont know, say "thats a good question. Let me think about it and get back to you". Write a couples questions note in your phone and think about it, so you can give him an answer as soon as you have it [and provide at agreed timeframe and how to communicate it (in person @ next meet up, by email, by text etc - remembering online/ info can be retained ... so irl as much as possible so least data out there on you as possible).
