Whenever you ask someone the kind of person they look for in a relationship or for marriage, the description of that person is never complete without the part where the person says "...must be God-fearing..." Now does this mean a very religious person? Or someone that fears God? (Whichever God you're talking about) Or someone that conforms to your religious taste and is compatible with you with respect to that?

Also, would you consider yourself to be one? According to your definition...

I may be ignorant concerning this, but I just wanna hear what people's views on this are.

Well I'm Buddhist, so...
But I think what they mean is somebody that goes to church every sunday, bible study/fellowship every monday, healing session every wednesday, outreach every friday, and has zero time for family.

Someone who reveres God. Someone who will put herselfor herself in the others position before acting.

LOL!

I feel people can as well say "a good church-goer", that's relating it to the Christians, since that's what it all boils down to. I may be mistaken too.

I believe the definition varies from different individuals.

Some its just the normal consciousness of upholding religious values.they just say it to mean they want someone in their religious faith.

To other's it means they want someone who reverence God in all spheres of life.someone who would walk in the tenets of their religious views.

To another set.a God fearing Man/woman is one who acknowledges God in every doing.he/she doesn't walk or act on his/her own will.their attitude to the basic things of life depends and is guided by the consciousness of the Supreme Creator.


To another set anyone who goes to church and believes everything the pastor teaches him/her in church.
