There seems to be a problem in our churches that has to do with marriage. We have singles who want to be married but they are not getting married. I have a thought on this.
"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord." Proverbs 18:22
First, you have to find a wife. It is the man's job to look for one. If you are waiting for the Lord to bring you a wife, you will die single. He who finds a wife means that you have to be looking for one.
Second, marriage is a good thing. Marriage is worth it. Your life will be better and fuller and richer being married. Single is the Greek word for selfish. He who finds a wife finds a good thing.
Third, God blesses the married couple. God helps married couples once they are married. He gives them favor in all areas of life. You do not have to be married to be happy, but there is a blessing from God that is reserved only for married couples. In marriage you will obtain favor from the Lord.
My prayer for my church and for our Fellowship is that young men will find willing young women to marry and start new families. Throw away your checklists. Find an attractive girl and marry her.
Sorry sisters, but the burden on marriage rests on the man, you only control your response.
"Then they called Rebekah and said to her, will you go with this man? And she said, I will go." Genesis 24:58
God will not do it all for you. But if you are looking, God can help you find the one perfect for you. Read Genesis 24:12-21.
We know it says watch and pray. But in marriage I think it is search and pray. Ask God to help you find a wife while you are looking actively for one.
