Catholic Mingle

epsIf you’re looking for love with a Christian spin and more specifically Catholic Christians, look no further than Catholic Mingle. Part of the Sparks network, Catholic Mingle is one of the premiere dating websites for Catholics. Nothing’s worse than finding someone interesting on a non-niche dating website only to find they don’t share the same spiritual values you do. If spiritual compatibility is a must for you and you’re a Catholic, Catholic Mingle will take the guesswork out of online love.

If you want to spring for the premium membership, you’re profile will be placed in Spotlight and Stand-Out, two additional services offered by Sparks Network online dating websites. Spotlight places your profile
picture and basic information directly on the homepage of free and paying members of Catholic Mingle. This has enormous exposure value.

Stand Out is a similar feature. When a single searches and you come up as a possible result, your profile is given a special background color and a much larger viewing area. They also give your profile picture a
nice border. All of this additional detail means you’re going to get looked at more than others who just have standard profiles. More attention = more clicks on your profile = greater chance of someone liking you. It costs just a little bit extra to add these two services, but can prove well worth the value if you find someone special. Continue reading “Catholic Mingle”

Big Church

Big Church is an online dating website that caters to those of us looking for love that’s rooted in spirituality. Usually, spirituality and religion are reserved for a little check box during profile creation at most online dating websites. Thank heavens for Big Church because there, your religious beliefs and spirituality are the things that matter most when it comes to finding love online.

Big Church is a member of the Friend Finder network and as such, the website is nearly identical to the other big Friend Finder dating websites. One of the most annoying aspects to finding love online is filling out 300 different profiles that are all built differently and getting your feet wet with so many different dating site designs. If you’ve been to Friend Finder, Big Church will be a breeze.

Niche dating websites like Big Church are great because you don’t have to waste time combing through dating personals that don’t matter to you. If you’re looking for love and spirituality is important to you, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and drama by signing up at Big Church. Continue reading “Big Church”

Christian Mingle

epsIf you’re looking for love with a Christian spin, look no further than Christian Mingle. Part of the Sparks network, Christian mingle is one of the premier dating websites for Christians. Nothing’s worse than finding someone interesting on a non-niche dating website only to find they don’t share the same spiritual values. If spiritual compatibility is a must for you and you’re a Christian, Christian Mingle will take the guesswork out of online love.

Christian Mingle has a couple of features that are unique to Sparks network online dating websites. It has a service who’s concept is similar to “Hot or Not”. It’s called “Think You’d Click”. It posts a picture of a Christian single and then asks you if you’d click on that profile and check the person out. If you select ‘Yes’, Christian Mingle will secretly find out if that person is interested in you as well. If they are, they’ll let you know! I love this feature because it’s zero risk. You can honestly answer and perhaps even find someone special.

Another unique aspect of Christian Mingle is the Compass readiness and compatibility test. Both tests are fairly quick (about 15 minutes) and they can give you an honest perspective about where you are with love and the type of person you’d be compatible with. Utilizing the Compass service requires at least a standard membership with Christian Mingle, but if you’re looking for Christian love and you want to be matched on compatibility, I think the standard membership is worth it.

If you want to spring for the premium membership, you’re profile will be placed in Spotlight and Stand-Out, two additional services offered by Sparks Network online dating websites. Spotlight places your profile picture and basic information directly on the homepage of free and paying members of Christian Mingle. This has enormous exposure value.
