One way God will help you know when you’ve met your future spouse is by giving you both particular experiences together that form a bond that will last a lifetime.
Have you ever said something like: “I just want to get married. I wish it wasn’t so complicated. I just want the one God has for me. I’m tired of being alone and having to resist my ever-constant hunger for intimacy. I just want marriage the right way, not singleness or celibacy anymore.”
The choices you make in singleness directly shape the kind of marriage you will have in the future. While many see singleness as a period of waiting for “the one,” Scripture calls us to see it as a time of growth, surrender, and sacrifice. If you want a marriage that honors God, here are five sacrifices you must be willing to make while single.
