3 things to do if you're tired of being single

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.
