1 Corinthians 7:8-9
There are countless reasons Christians remain single even when they wish they were married. They usually fall somewhere in between “It’s just not in God’s plan right now” and “You are doing something wrong that is keeping you single.”
Matthew 7:11
Here are 10 possible reasons for why God may be keeping you single even though you wish you could be in a relationship with a good woman.
2 Timothy 2:22
Today we’re going to study three passages of Scripture to help us discover three relationship principles. These principles will not only help you attract the right person God wants for you, but they will also help you repel the people God does not want for you.
1 Corinthians 7:38
1 Corinthians 7:38 states, “So then he who marries his betrothed does well, and he who refrains from marriage will do even better.” Does this verse mean God would prefer that you remain single? Many Christians would say, “Yes, God does want you single.”
Matthew 19:26
Are you a single Christian woman who feels like there are no Christian men to date? Have you asked, “Where are all the godly men?”
Philippians 2:3-4
Many people get married and instantly lose passion for each other. If you are single and desire to be married one day, obviously you don’t want this to happen to you.
Genesis 50:20
If you’ve been following this ministry for a while, you know that I believe in the concept of “the one.” One follow up question I often get goes something like this, “If God sovereignly puts people together in marriage, why do divorces happen? If God plans who we marry, why do some marriages turn out so badly?”
Proverbs 16:26
We should never blame Satan for our sins. Even when we are tempted, the Bible states that we alone are responsible for our own choices (James 1:14-15).
Jeremiah 17:9
It’s clear in Scripture that God does call some people to a life of singleness. But one error I believe many people make is that they come to believe God wants them single because they have a deep wound in their heart that makes them fearful of trying to love again.
James 4:4-8
Singleness itself is a blessing from God just like marriage is also a blessing from God (1 Corinthians 7:7). So I’m not saying that Satan is happy when a Christian is single. Rather, Satan’s desire is that you miss God’s will and that you choose the opposite of what God wants for you.
