James 4:3 (NIV), “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” Is this the only verse that can explain why you are not married even though you really want a spouse? Of course not!
When I’m using the phrase “she’s playing you” in this article, I’m referring to a woman who is using you in a selfish way without you realizing it.
Are you asking God a question about a relationship desire you have? Or perhaps you are wondering if the relationship you are in right now is pleasing to the Lord? Or maybe you want to pursue singleness but you are unsure if God would rather you pursue marriage?
I recently wrote an article called 4 Biblical Marks that Mean a Woman Will Be a Curse Rather than a Blessing to You.

How will you feel when you first meet the person God will lead you to marry one day?
If you are a Christian single woman who wants to get married and have a family one day, you obviously want to marry a man who will be a great dad to your future children. But how can you make sure you do this when you are dating and assessing a man for marriage?
God made you to glorify himself (Isaiah 43:7). Thus, Satan wants you to fall short of glorifying God, which is the definition of sin (Romans 3:23).
