Statistics tell us that kids today are abstaining from marriage. This is a serious turn around from not too long ago when most adults were married. I thought that there must be something wrong with this generation that they are not getting married. Then I read these verses.
"His disciples said to Him, if such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry." Mat.19:10
"But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they remain even as I am." 1Cor.7:8
Jesus said that in the beginning God created men and women to be married and to enjoy married life together. He said that divorce is due to heart hardness. Paul, who gave inspired words about marriage, encouraged new believers to remain single and to just serve the Lord Jesus. Forgoing marriage is not unique to this generation.
My prayer is that God will help our young people find one another in marriage and once found, that they will start families.
"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord." Prov.18:22
I say amen! God help our young men to be courageous in pursuing a wife and God help our young women to be enthusiastic about marriage and encouraging to our young men.
