Christian Dating Control Freaks

If you have never dating a control freak, consider yourself lucky. Dating a control freak is worse than root canal. While we're on the topic, are you a control freak? Yes, even Christian singles can be control freaks. Control freaks can be both male and female, and at first can come across as quite appealing. However, as the dating relationship progresses a control freak will intensify his or her acting out until it becomes overwhelming for the other partner.

Control freaks make for horrible Christian marriage partners. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to spot "a freak" early on in the courtship or dating process. Yet, understanding some of the signs of a control freak can help singles avoid getting burned in the long run. Who needs the pain, right?
Control Freak Signs

In considering whether or not you are dating a control freak, consider the following questions:

* Is he or she overly jealous and or possessive?
* Does your date like to take charge by planning all the details of your dates?
* Does he or she always know best about what you need to read, eat, see, wear, or hear?
* Is it difficult to express your own beliefs or opinions around your date?
* Does he or she always need to dominate a conversation?
* (Specially for Christian single women) Does he insist on you submitting to him as your spiritual leader even though you are not married?

The bottom line is control freaks like to be in charge. If you answered "yes" to one or more of the above questions, you are probably dealing with the control freak. You may also want to consider whether or not you in fact are a victim in an abusive relationship.
