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.”
Should a Christian man even care about how he dresses? Isn’t it vain to think about what clothes and apparel would be most appealing to a Christian woman? And shouldn’t godly women care more about a man’s heart than his appearance?
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.
Finding the person God has for you is not just about waiting passively or rushing ahead in your own strength. It is about seeking the Lord, aligning your desires with his will, and praying with a heart that is open to his leading.
Singleness can be a blessing from God for those who have been equipped with this gift (1 Corinthians 7:7). However, for most Christians, they are designed to function best with a spouse.
When Charlie Kirk was martyred, all the left had to say was, “Murdering someone is always wrong. We renounce all forms of political violence.” And to be fair, many on the left did say that. However, a shockingly large number of people did not do that. They failed this very simple test.
Your home is meant to be a place of peace, rest, and protection. Yet many people unknowingly open spiritual doors that allow the enemy to sow fear, confusion, and bondage within their households. The Bible makes it clear that Satan and his demons are always seeking entry points (1 Peter 5:8). While believers cannot be possessed if they belong to Christ, they can be oppressed, harassed, or spiritually weakened by inviting in demonic influences.
Do you have to give a man sex for him to love you? If he is a godly man, the answer to that question is no.
But there are certain things a godly man needs before he can fully open his heart to you and pursue you into marriage.
No government on this earth will be absolutely biblical in every way. No matter who’s in office, sin will always occur. However, I do believe there are better and worse forms of government. The more biblical principles we can recognize and apply in our governments, the better our society will be.
