Member Base
Chritiansingles.com has a good number of members and still growing. Majority of members are between 20s and 60s, which means it’s popular between all age groups, however some of the profiles that I have gone though does not show much details about him or her.

Though the site claims it is completely for marriage-minded people, I’m not quite sure that some of the members I found are seeking for that purpose.

It is a big network of Christians seeking for love and all types of Christians are welcomed though in it only Christians are allowed and people of other religions are not allowed.

Google rating: Google gives the website 4 out of 10 in rating.

Longevity
The website came out well overall, except the registration process.

It shows many testimonials and stuffs to ensure perfect match to be found.

Not quite impressive though, but I found some pretty close matches to what I expected. But the question still remains if the site can deliver on its promise?

Scores

Conclusion
The overall look of the site is nice. However, the registration process is very lengthy, unlike the other dating sites which have a quick and easy process. The website has pretty fine features to play around and looks are good, not eye-catching, but good.

Search options are diverse and some careful use of it is required to get the best results.

This site strictly focuses on marriage and is an excellent site for people seeking partners for a lifetime. Other people looking for friendship, long and short termed relationships, active partners, etc are advised to look somewhere else other than christiansingles.com.
