"Is it okay to live together before we get married? You know, just for awhile to see if we're compatible and to share expenses."
"Why is it good for some to marry and not others? I don't want to land in a divorce with a broken heart. The odds are stacked against me."
"I'm scared to get married. Especially to the wrong guy. How can I ever find someone to trust?"
As dating online, gender confusion, active sexuality and divorce statistics rise, questions and fears are increasing in every age group from preteens to senior citizens.
A thousand years from now what legacy will you leave behind to the generations that follow? Will peace rule your heart if you seek after selfish gains? Are you serious about dying to self and living God's best dream for your life?
Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things. Run this life race keeping in step with the Spirit, training for the calling God has given you. Then look beside you to see who is running alongside, encouraging you, challenging you, prodding you toward faithfulness in finishing your race.
The only reason to marry or to stay single is because you are able to more efficiently and passionately take heed of your calling from God, to complete it.
So what is it you are called to do? What is the legacy you want to leave? Stop scheming to achieve self focused goals. You can begin today to achieve the adventure, freedom and God-focused calling given uniquely to you!
