1. Pray About It.
The very first thing to do as a Christian single lady or a single guy who’s just experienced a breakup is to pray about the situation.
Doing so will help you begin your healing journey as soon as possible. Yes, breakups and heartbreaks can be painful to experience especially as a Christian who’s doing everything the right way.
However, you need to remember that something, despite your best efforts in a relationship, things just don’t work out or are just not meant to be.
In such situations, it’s easy to blame God as to why He allowed you to go through such a horrendous heartbreak when you thought the person you were dating or courting was the one.
But you need to remember, that God knows the best and only He knows why He doesn’t want you to be with a particular person.
All you can do is take your broken heart to God in prayer and He will heal you. Sooner or later, you will understand why He allowed you to experience that breakup.

2. Understand God Knows The Best.
The second thing that will help you get over a breakup as a Christian single is understanding God knows the best even in the painful heartbreak you may currently going through.
Yes, sometimes, we think we know better when we fall head over heels for a particular guy or girl in a romantic relationship during dating.
But as 1 Samuel 16:17 reminds us, only the Lord genuinely knows what’s hidden in man’s heart. Because we can easily be blinded by love, we can easily ignore the red flags we must pay attention to.
In such a situation, God will decide to take drastic measures to protect you from the harm you aren’t seeing yet that will come when you choose to marry the person you thought was the one.
So, if a person you thought was the right person to marry has mysteriously broken up with you, thank God for it as He knows why He doesn’t want you to be with that person. Not easy to do but with time, you will heal.
3. Understand Good Doesn’t Equate To Being A Good Fit.
As a young single Christian woman or man, you need to understand just because someone appears to be good for you outwardly doesn’t mean that person is a good fit for you to be your life partner.
Remember, when it comes to marriage and relationships, God wants the best for you and He wants you to have a happy Christian marriage that will be heaven on earth, not a miserable marriage.
But for that to happen, the Lord has to detach you from certain people or a person you think will be the one to marry but isn’t a good fit for you to be your long-term life companion in marriage.
Sometimes, no matter how perfect the person you may be dating may seem, he or she may just not be the right fit for you to be your spouse for one reason or another.
Understand that only God knows your type better and the right person to marry who will perfectly suit you, understand you, and complement your personality.
Some people as good as they may seem outwards for dating, may not perfectly suit or align with your core values, personality, and above all temperament. This is why you must trust God for a life partner, not yourself.
4. Take A Day At A Time.
The other Christian breakup advice I can give you that will help you grieve your lost relationship and finally move on with your life is to take it one day at a time.
Don’t try to process everything at once. Understand that healing from a breakup even as a Christian is a step-by-step process that doesn’t happen overnight. You must understand that you are not a robot but an emotional human being.
The pain and heartbreak you may be experiencing due to a bad breakup will not all suddenly heal or disappear at the push of a button.
You will with the help of prayer gradually begin to heal as your mind needs time to process that emotional pain and hurt you have experienced which is why it’s healthy to cry and vent after a heartbreak.
Doing so will help your mind get rid of the emotional pain you have experienced as time goes by. So, just take a day at a time and don’t rush your healing process.
5. Understand God Has Something Better For You.
Understanding that God has someone better lined up for you in the future during a breakup will help you get over your ex much quicker than you thought.
Sometimes, when we experience a breakup as Christians, it’s easy to be trapped in the mindset of thinking that we will never find anything better than an ex we broke up with.
However, that’s a lie from the devil who doesn’t want the best for you relationship-wise. You need to understand that the devil, too has people he uses to mislead you from marrying the right person God has in mind for you.
If you have broken up with your Christian ex you thought was truly the one, don’t lose hope as a year from now after reading this, you will be glad that your ex is no longer in your life anymore.
Once you meet the right person God meant for you to marry and share your life with in marriage, you will understand why your previous relationship with your exes just never worked out.
6. Don’t Stress About Your Ex Too Much.
Another thing that will help you get over the bad breakup you had with your Christian ex is you need to stop thinking about your ex, too much as if he or she is a god.
Yes, sometimes, it’s possible to idolize our exes in our minds as believers whom we thought were our one true love at one point in our lives but things proved otherwise on the contrary.
Remember, your ex is an ex for a reason and they belong to the rearview mirror of your life, not in front. This is why you need to get over your ex you have been obsessed with in your mind for too long.
Don’t let your ex be the reason why you fail to move forward in life as your ex isn’t the reason why you were born as there are better suitors for you ahead of you.
If this has been a major struggle for you, pray about it and the Lord will help you put your ex to the back burner where they rightfully belong so that you can meet the right person God wants you to be with.
7. Let’s God’s Will Lead The Way.
Last but not least, understanding God’s will and purpose for your life as a Christian while in your singleness will help you understand why God didn’t want to be with a particular person.
As a Christian desiring to be a wife or husband, understand that God’s will must come first even as you date or court in your Christian relationship.
Very often as Christians, we end up dating people we think will be good for us but according to the Lord, it couldn’t be further from the truth.
Remember, when God brings someone into your life including your future spouse, it’s for a purpose. God will never join you together with a person who’s totally and fatally misaligned with the purpose He has for your life.
This is why if you find yourself in a relationship with a person who’s not God’s will for your life, that relationship will eventually fall through.
Let the breakup you may have experienced be the reminder that you will never consider a relationship with someone unless the Lord approves of it and is in line with His will.
