Seniors, when it comes to sex, use it or lose it, says a noted sex educator. 'You should continue to have good sex for the same reason you should continue to get good exercise.
Dr. Kevin Hogan posed an interesting question and premise in the comments discussion the other day in my blog post about the After 50 Dating among Christians and Catholics looking for their Soul Mate. He posited, “It would seem that being Christian and over say 40 or 50 is an advantage vs. just being over 40 or 50. And by advantage I mean that people will find something they highly value in another. Is this the way it works out in the real world?”
And wouldn’t you know it? The answer is a little bit yes and a little bit no. While studies show that the faith in which you were raised you will likely retain your whole life, I have not seen studies which show the movement some people have within their faith.
What of Christians who move within denominations? With the increase moving and location migration that Americans now make over a lifetime, Christians will often start to look for a church of their precise faith when they move to a new home. But there may not be an exact match. So, sometimes they migrate to a non-denominational church.
A cradle Episcopalian may find herself drawn to the more “modern” style of the Christian Praise and Worship style of worship.
While a Conservative Baptist may find he loathes that kind of music and as his church moves to 100% of their services featuring that as the Senior Pastor who always used to include a few hymns retires and the younger style of worship takes over his church, he leaves for a local liturgical church that plays hymns. Then he misses the Baptist Men’s Bible study and simply looks to form one where he is. It’s interesting to see the Biblical Evangelical Christians moving from their churches to the more liturgical churches of the Episcopalians, Lutherans and Methodists. They often still retain their beliefs about “salvation” and “grace” which are at least somewhat different than liturgical churches.
So what then is the core of your faith which as a Christian or Catholic Single that you do indeed absolutely require in a Soul Mate to share with you? Sometimes it is no longer the label of your denomination which let’s say, 20 years ago, was THE short hand that you would have had in your Soul Mate’s Essential Traits list. (btw that list better be short or you’re dreaming about ideal people and not a person who is real)
So long as your beliefs about How You Get to Heaven are aligned and in essential agreement, a number of Christians and Catholic Singles are finding that they can accommodate a much broader range of variety and expression of religion in their Soul Mate. Funnily enough, we were more in a rut and more rigid about precisely what you had to be when we were younger. Often that is because we are also at the time planning on having children together and raising them. So more precisely alike values are more essential when you’re planning on raising children because you naturally want to raise them in an aligned parents who are in agreement and not usurping each other daily basis. Talk about a sure method for chaos at home.
What does that mean for you as a Single Christian or Single Catholic when you’re dating in the after 40, 50, and 60 dating pool? Reflect and know yourself. Really know your own values. You may find they have refined over time. Write and Journal about them a bit to know what are your core beliefs now. Be able to talk about them a bit, because you will need to be able to do so with your dates. And then, within that range of who and what is truly you, go exploring and looking for love. And keep a BIT of an open mind about precisely who and how God will place them crossing your path. You might be amused. Certainly at this time of year with Lent and Easter, there are more Adult Studies and Bible Studies Groups, and more services. Go to a few other churches.
