Dear readers,
Please forgive me for not answering your post. It read:
Who said that about God not wanting us to get married? That is not true. Marriage is one of God's greatest gifts and pleasures. He said in the beginning that it is not good for man to be alone - that's why he created Eve. And there are other scriptures about how husbands and wives should treat each other (husbands love your wives as Christ loved the Church, etc.) so I don't believe that to be true. If you really love God and serve Him you can love your husband, honor and obey (yes, obey) him and God will bless you because by doing this, you are honoring His word. Didn't mean to preach but don't want you to believe any misinformation.
Yes, it is true that God said it is not good for man to be alone, but later in the Bible he also says that He wants us to serve and put Him first in our life and when we get married sometimes our marriage partner takes the place of God being first in our life. He says that we should be single but if we can't let our fleshly desires get us into sin, then we should get married so we can stay within God's word.
Don't believe me or just don't remember that part? Check out 1 Corinthians 7:8-9.
8 Now I say to those who aren't married and to widows - it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am. 9 But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It's better to marry than to burn with lust.
And yes, God provides those guidelines for those who get married because he provides all guidelines for all of us for every action of our life. In fact, before verse eight, Paul dishes out advice to all the married people as told to him by God.
Thanks for reading and posting!
