As
a woman on a mission for Christ it's a good thing to be married if in
your heart you desire a mate. That way as you serve God you don't have
to battle with one of life's most pesky temptations which is of sexual
immorality.
Genesis 3:16 tells us that it's by God's design that a woman's desire
is for her husband. This means that we want a man in our lives who is
strong and equipped to lead
us, love us, and make us feel safe and secure.
Therefore, it's
normal to want to be married. It's normal to want a companion to share
your life with. It's normal to want a husband with whom to build a family,
and to have a man who will cover you, protect you, honor you, love on
you, and make you feel like the feminine and beautiful woman who God created you to be. It does not make you weak, lonely,
or desperate, to want a husband, it actually makes you a mature woman
who is ready to express and experience your God given role as a wife.
Yes, it's normal, it's beautiful, and it's God's desire for you when it's done in an orderly fashion.
The
key here however is order. Meeting and marrying your Mr. Right in an
orderly fashion is what will ensure that your marriage will be blessed
by God, and every sensible Christian woman should want to have God's
blessing on her marriage.
The challenge that seems to trip up
most of the people in the world who want to be in a relationship is the
struggle to submit to God's order when it comes to how to choose a
partner for life. Most people just want to ignore the rules and
standards of God and go about it their own way.
However, as a
woman on a mission for Christ, an orderly relationship is definitely
what you want because all marriages have their challenges and no couple
is happy all the time, but marriage is certainly much better when the
blessing of God lies upon it. That blessing is obtained by following
God's protocol, otherwise when things go south you're pretty much on
your own. God is not obligated to bless something that He did not
ordain. So for those who believe that the safest place in the world in
the will of God, I know that you want your quest to meet and marry your
Mr.Right to be done in a way that is decent and in order and approved of
by God.
All of that said I want to share three things with my
single sisters in Christ that you should do if you are tired of being
single and you want to start on the path to meet and marry your Mr.
Right.
1. Stop training to be single- There are
literally leaders who teach single women things that will ultimately
keep them single. One of the main things they do is encourage them to
love being single, and stop trying to change their single status. This
advice disguises itself as noble, but I happen to think that if you
really want to get married this advice is definitely counterproductive.
Plus Paul encourages christians to marry if they are struggling with the
desire to be in a relationship with the opposite sex. You shouldn't
marry hastily, but if you program yourself not to seek marriage at all
then it most likely will never happen. Therefore, if you are tired of
being single, steer clear of the single and satisfied mantra.
2.Think like a Wife-
Anyone who is successful at anything will tell you that if you want to
accomplish a certain thing, then it would be wise to learn from those
who have already done it. Therefore, if you want to be a wife, start
taking marital advice from wives, and not from those who are single like
you.Women who are married are doing the things that wives do, and if
you want to be a wife, then you should learn more about what wives do.
When you learn to do more of what good wives do, you will become a
magnet for Your Mr. Right. He will notice your behavior and immediately
see you as the perfect woman to be the wife that he imagines.
3. Stop waiting and start preparing-
I once heard a great preacher say that God propels prepared people.
Lots of Christian women have told me that they are just waiting for God
to send them the right man. I don't believe you should wait, I believe
you should prepare! Waiting is miserable, but preparing is fun. The
question is, do you know what to do in order to get prepared? There are
actually some very important and applicable things that a good and Godly
wife should know.
If you want to learn more about these things, you should join me for my next Christian Love and Marriage Meeting to get more enlightened.
