Certainly marriage is good, but the relationship with our spouse can suffer tremendous strain when the common faith of our marriage collides with our immoral culture. Furthermore, being married divides our devotion between our spouse and our God. Only a single Christian can enjoy undivided loyalty to the Lord. If God calls you to marriage, follow His will. Marriage is good, after all. But God may call singles to serve Him apart from marriage and children. Let's help our Christian culture recognize this lofty calling and stop treating singles as second class citizens in the church.
Who told you that the most important thing in life is marriage? Marriage is an honourable thing. But putting marriage ahead of fulfilling your God given purpose is not a good idea. Don’t let the status quo hold you down, especially in Africa; where a woman’s success is measured by marriage. The moment you are above 30 and not married, the society begins to see you as a failure.
Do not be a victim of the wrong mindset of the society. Don’t let your marital status define you. Begin to pursue your purpose in life and in the process the right man will come and you will be married if need be. Stop running after men and marriage. Instead run after God and the purpose for which He created you in the first place.
The greatest achievement anyone could have in life is fulfilling your God given purpose. It pays to live for something greater than you.
