im 21, been saved for 1 year now, and am keen on marriage. i work full time and have a car. i am responsible and have my head screwed on right, everything seems appropriate and responsible for me to persue the next step in life. ever since becoming a christian, ive been on fire for God, always studying the bible, much time in prayer, sharing the gospel with others when i can. but my problem is there just in not a great deal of Godly girls around. Honestly australia dwindles for producing christians, we are a secular nation - plain and simple. yes there may be some godly people out there but they are so hard to find. and if there are professing christian girls in this country they tend to be so wordly and not christian at all.
i am so ready to be married, and really would love the company of a wife.
i honestly just want to focus on God, but its so hard when i also have to combat sexual temptations. i feel that because i am not married, yet trying to keep pure in God's eyes that i am trying to restrain a huge part of what being a 21 yo male is. and it is so hard and distracts me and disencourages me.
please pray that God sends me a Godly wife and soon. im in a great struggle battling thoughts and temptations and feel without intimate companionship. and its not only sex why i want a wife, as i said, its the companionship and intimate love that comes with it.
now i know im gonna get alot of people saying im too young or havent been a christian long enough etc.. but i just need some prayer and some advice would be good for those who are in a similar situation or been through this. thankyou very much for reading. God Bless.
Nowhere in the bible does it say that you can't marry a non-godly person. You can marry a non-believer, but Christians prefer to marry other Christians because they share the same belief (that Jesus died on the cross so that we can be saved) and can bond as fellow believers. That's what I think.
You have stated that you would prefer a godly woman for marriage over a non-godly woman for marriage. Nothing is wrong with that.
Your soul-mate is out there, godly or non-godly. You've just got to be ready to step up to the plate when that someone comes along and you get engaged. You've got to step up to the plate of being a husband and, eventually, a father. Not just any husband. Not just any father. A loving husband. A caring husband. A loving father. A caring father.
A traditional wedding vow:
I, (Bride/Groom), take you (Groom/Bride), to be my (wife/husband), to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.
A Christian wedding vow:
I, _____, take you, ______, to be my wedded wife. With deepest joy I receive you into my life that together we may be one. As is Christ to His body, the church, so I will be to you a loving and faithful husband. Always will I perform my headship over you even as Christ does over me, knowing that His Lordship is one of the holiest desires for my life. I promise you my deepest love, my fullest devotion, my tenderest care. I promise I will live first unto God rather than others or even you. I promise that I will lead our lives into a life of faith and hope in Christ Jesus. Ever honoring God's guidance by His spirit through the Word, And so throughout life, no matter what may lie ahead of us, I pledge to you my life as a loving and faithful husband.
You need to be capable of fulfilling what is said in the vows. If not, wait until you are capable.
God Bless
By no means am I trying to point fingers. I simply want people to understand that term "Christian" is far more than some kind of social status or a people group and that according to scripture, to truly be considered a Christian, our relationship with God must be our #1 priority. If not, then we are headed to hell along with the Scribes & the Pharisees.
