When I was single and dating I thought, he’s saved, I am saved, we get married, God will work it all out. Yikes! That was the farthest thing from the truth.

God will send you love at the right time, but sometimes it can take a lot longer than you think it should. Just because you are lonely, it is not an instant pass to marriage. What you need is an action plan to turn that loneliness into love.

Christian men and women out in the dating world today are being met with all sorts of wrong thinking in their relationships. It is my hope to help these individuals identify these lies before it is too late, because they ruin lives and families. For this men’s article, I employed the help of male friends and loved ones, especially my wonderful husband, Steve.

Sitting across the table from my beautiful friend in the quaint coffee shop, my worry mounted. She was sharing details about her new whirlwind relationship that had begun a couple months earlier.

Unequally Yoked –
2 Corinthians 6:14 (Message) – “Don’t become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war.”

Wooo! This topic is a hot one. There are so many aspects that we have to look at. But let’s try and compartmentalize them.

Marriage is a beautiful thing; so much so God paints the spiritual illustration of the body of Christ being the bride, and Christ the groom! He talks about the way a man should love a woman, and also the way a woman should love a man. The descriptions, both natural and spiritual, are as beautiful as the picture perfect marriage should be. Marriage is honorable. God smiles on the union of his people!

I am a lady in waiting, and it seems like I’ve been waiting forever. I’m a few years shy of 30 and not even a potential. Husband that is. I made the decision to wait a long time ago, and haven’t budged since.

When God creates something, He creates it with purpose and design. The Genesis account of creation makes it clear that God’s creation is “good” (Genesis 1:31).
