If you’re a Christian with a desire for marriage, I know you don’t just want to be married at any cost. Rather, you also want to submit to God’s timing. You don’t want to take matters into your own hands, you don’t want to force a relationship that is not God’s will, but you also don’t want to be so passive that you might miss the relationship God does want for you.

Before God gave Adam a wife, he first gave Adam everything else he needed to be the kind of man who could receive her. Genesis 2 doesn’t just tell the story of creation—it gives us a blueprint for manhood before marriage.
If you are a Christian single person who wants to be married one day, are you doing something wrong? Why is it taking so long to meet “the one” God has for you? Past sins? Passivity? Trying too hard?
