Prepper LOVE: How to Find a Spouse For You

I absolutely love hearing from you and am impressed with the questions that have filled my inbox lately. Sometimes I don’t have time to give a lengthy reply, and often times other people have the exact same questions, so I’ve decided to devote Fridays for Question & Answer Time!

Don’t hesitate to jump in and add your thoughts and expertise, because we really learn the most from each other!

Prepper Love: How to Find a Spouse That Preps #prepper #love

I couldn’t resist kicking off the Q&A sessions with the question below. It came in response to a post I did about Classes for Hot Housewives. 

Plus, Valentine’s Day is probably better than ever to discuss finding love in the prepper world ;)

QUESTION:

How can I go about finding a hot cook, dishwasher, canner, gardener and just an all around good wife for a prepper?

ANSWER:

Let me just add a quick disclaimer – If you’re already married, I’m not suggesting ditching your spouse for a prepared one! We can talk later about getting your spouse on board if you’re interested, or you can check out some of these posts on the subject:

  • Prepping Partners: How to Increase Your Survival Rate Exponentially
  • If Your Partner Doesn’t Want to Prep
  • An Open Letter to Family & Friends
  • A Preparedness Gift That Costs You Nothing
  • Convincing Family to Prep – Or Should You Bother?
  • How to Get Your Teen to Appreciate Prepping

Ok, I just had to get that out-of-the-way first!

Finding a Spouse that Preps:

So if you’re in the dating scene, how do you find someone who cares more about becoming self-reliant, rather than becoming a professional spender? I’ll admit it, I’m good at both, but here are some things to consider:

  • DATING SERVICES:

Farmers Only – City Folk Just Don’t Get It!

Seriously, I thought this was a joke at first, but people are really falling in love at FarmersOnly.com, unless they faked their testimonial page.

Anyways, since I haven’t started up my Prepper Dating Service yet, this is probably the next best thing. Its primary focus is for hooking up farmers, ranchers, & good ol’ country folk, but I’m sure Preppers are invited too – as long as you pay up front ;) 

  • ONLINE PREPAREDNESS COMMUNITIES:

There are tonz of forums, Facebook groups, and preparedness communities out there if you just go looking! Here are some of my favorite, but make sure to let me know some of yours! 

Of course these communities aren’t just for singles, but it’s a great place to find like-minded people and then go stalk their FB pages (don’t act like you’ve never done that before).

    • PREPARED BLOGGERS – Facebook – Twitter – Pinterest

prepared bloggers

    •  BLOG HOP – You can find and connect with all sorts of people by checking out their blogs, commenting & replying to others, and connecting with each of their individual communities.

preparedness and survival blogs

    • DOING THE STUFF NETWORK – Facebook – Pinterest – Google +

doing the stuff network

  • LOCAL PREPAREDNESS GROUPS:

The best way to meet people is get out! Here are some ideas to get you mingling within your town:

    • C.E.R.T. (Community Emergency Response Team) – Go get trained & be active within your community group. You never know, someone might just come along that loves a chance for disaster as much as you do!
    • INTEREST GROUPS – Join or start a group that focuses on something you love – homesteading, hunting, shooting, gardening, etc.
    • Church – I think this is still the best place to find a spouse! Having God in your life and especially your marriage, is the most important prep anyone can make.

Good luck with finding the right one!

Maybe, I will just have to go ahead and start-up a Prepper Dating Service ;)

      Julie … there are a few ” Prepper ” dating sites already. Problem are that they don’t seam to work. the screening process is terrible. They don’t go into enough detail. Geographically hard to organize. That said, I do believe that a GOOD prepper dating site is needed. I for one would be looking there. hard to find the Like minded person to partner with.

        Hello all, I am the creator of PreppersMatch.com, while we are not specifically a dating site, I have seen some members who are in the market for someone special. Our focus is on bringing preppers together to learn and prepare together. We offer some prepping tools like creating lists, and groups and will soon roll out a new Prepper Q&A part of the site. So far we have a great emerging community and I invite anyone to check it out.

    Dating sounds great for a decent,honest forthright lady. One problem today there are so many fakers on the internet Great and Honest wonderful people are so full of fear, because of the past bad relationships, they do not date. And many just get on dating sites Just to look but who do not date which makes allot of people shy away from Such places.. I feel today Good men who are honest, caring, and have great qualities are just getting passed over.

      You’re right, definitely lots of fakers. That’s why I think joining a network where you are actually interacting with real people without the dating pressure is a great way to go. Girls are much more interested in becoming friends first before jumping into anything serious anyways!

      I think if you are genuine and real, girls will notice, at least the ones your want to attract. Plus, if you ever need help with an online profile send it to me. I can help beef it up so you find the right one ;)

        I remember seeing PreppersMatch shared on a blog a couple years ago. I’m pretty sure it’s legit. I just don’t like joining those sites, and definitely won’t pay to look.

    Hey out there, where are the prepper communities? They need farmers, security, paramedics, teachers, cooks, and many other skills to make up a good prepper community and I would like to find one. It would consist of people of all ages from the kids and teens all the way up to grandmas and grandpas. Everyone (regardless of age) would have something to contribute. Anybody thinking along these lines?, or know of one already established, let pass the word. It will be needed in the near future, trust me.

    Well I’ll tell one thing that I’ve seen it’s all these unattractive, old, never been married, people I’ve seen that hang out on these sites. If I find another site with a “prepper” that weighs 240 lb.s i’ll shoot myself, (you know the ones that claim they’re preppers but just can’t lose weight) And then there’s the ones that say I like camping but are clue less .

      Hey, are you calling me fat ;) – j/k. Aren’t preppers supposed to over-weight, they survive longer don’t they?

      Maybe, there should be a survival skills & fitness portion to the dating site I make!

    Hello, my name is Heidi and I am co-owner of preppersmatch.com. We built this site to bring like-minded individuals together. It is better to prep in numbers! It is free to sign up and we are, currently, revamping the site and will be adding some more things to it. We didn’t set it up to be a dating site, per se, but if people want to use it that way, great! Prepper’s Match has implemented data security on par with some of the most secure websites around. We would love to get more people signed up and start using this site! On a side note, I am really enjoying this blog! :)

    I just recently started prepping and love everything to do with it. I’m also looking for an LDS like minded companion and I wouldn’t consider myself too old or overweight. I’m very much into healthy living and lifestyle. Jamie, mayb you could be the match maker and hook me up. The good ones are hard to find and I’ve been through A Lot of fakers.
