Doing some writing and felt like I needed to share, first to young single women, divorced, or a widow. I know this to be true, I have seen it & heard it many times before I was born-again. That men who finally want to settle down, will join a church with the only motive to find a wife. I have known men who have physically been with 50+ women, and for some reason they think every young lady in the church is a virgin. Even older men who have divorced, will join a church looking for a spouse. I have heard people say that women are usually more zealous than most men in the church. I personally know women who married the wrong man because they thought he was very zealous, or older women who are starting to feel lonely and they compromise because they have been single for so many years. And you will start to see it, the man might be zealous the first year of their marriage. But slowly the conversations about Jesus don’t sound important to him anymore. His attendance in church will start to decline until the point where he stops going. Jokes will start to be made about your crazy spirituality, they start to find reasons why they don’t like your True Christian friends & make you feel guilty when you want to spend time with them. They will start to manipulate about your time spent with friends, facebook, church…….And speak how you love those things more than him. If your growing in maturity in the Word, don’t marry a baby thinking someday he will catch up. So for the single women the best advice is in the Word. You need to feed on some of the fruits of the Spirit when waiting for a spouse, so the Fruit of Patience & the Fruit of Self-control. And work on moving the spouse thing to the back of your mind. First Seek His Kingdom, be patient and stay in the Word. You might have to Seek Christ in the Word for a few years, but if it’s God’s will he has your spouse waiting. So take a season of Seeking & Knocking, and only think of Christ, he will give you who you deserve. And if someone comes up & is not the man for you, you will know it because of the Word you have been working to write on your heart. And for those still married, no matter your conditions, never let your partner slow you or discourage you for working for the Kingdom of God. Paul said it best, “What I mean, brothers is that time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as they had none;” 1Corinthians 7:29 Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him & to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 1Corinthians 7:17 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. Brothers, each man, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation God called him to. 1Corinthians 7:23-24
