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!
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?
Some churches are doing a great job in loving Christians singles who desire marriage. Some pastors and congregants offer biblical advice that validates this biblical desire for a relationship and helps support the Christian single person navigating singleness.
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?
