1 | why do singles think they need a mate? | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 199206 | ||
Yes, I read the chapter you are referring to which is a chapter dealing with marriage and relationships. Your original question was why do singles think they need a 'mate' when they get saved? Once again, I don't feel every single thinks this away. I know some that are perfectly happy without a spouse and feel fulfilled. They live an active productive life in the church and are valuable members of our church body. Yes, with marriage comes some additional 'burdens' a single person doesn't have. This is stated in the scripture. Yet also with marriage, comes some blessings that a single person will never have, such as children. Do people get married for the wrong reason? Yes. I will address my own marriage, my wife and I dated for about four years before we got married. We didn't rush anything, we let our relationship grow, we have a beautiful daughter and we have been happily married for 13 years. As we have both grown closer to the Lord, our relationship has grown closer to each other. I feel that you can be productive, happy, and fulfilled Christian married or single. Each will have challenges. Paul does say if you aren't up to the challenge of lust, then get married. Sex isn't a bad thing, it is a beautiful thing for a married couple. Maybe someone else can help answer your question, because I guess I'm just having a hard time grasping what you are trying to get at or searching for? |
