Married/Single?
Singleness is a gift. Marriage is also a gift. Some of us are meant to be single and some, married. I agree with what a friend told me a couple weeks ago: If you have the desire to be married, then God wants you to be married. You know, the whole married or single debate... am I supposed to be single, even though I really, really, really DON'T wanna be? No. I've heard it said on Focus on the Family before that God may not have a mate for some of us who believe that we are supposed to be married. With all due respect, this statement makes me shudder, and I believe it's insulting to God. God knows us intimately, he knows the number of hairs on my head (Ps. 139); so he also knows every desire he's placed within me. Sometimes, yes, our passions are misdirected, and the Lord has to redirect (as it were) where we go; but I truly believe that if we have the desire to be married, then this is what God wants for us. That being said, I find it ironic that most people, Christians included seem to do so little preparing for what is supposed to be the second most important decision of a persons life (next to accepting the Lord). What to do?
