Well the question really isn't that big..

It refers to singles, do we ask ourselves.... "should we get married"? rather than when I get married or who shoud I marry?


(The idea or questions arent mine just found it interesting).

*Lynx scratches behind his right ear with a hind claw and ponders.

Um... Are we discussing whether singles should marry? I can't really tell from the OP but that's the general impression I get.

He means singles might be questioning whether they should get married at all, instead of who they will marry or when.

Oh that's easy! Being single rocks. I should stay single.

Now if I happen to meet a great lady and we fall in love, this will change. I should at that point get married. But right now I'm definitely staying single.

My big question is, "When is the next meal?"

I don't know... I'm still just trying to fix the inter-dimensional merging, and return everything back to the original timeline! =s

No never. Ask me next week when I have a new crush: oh yes sure!!! Bleh I think it's healthier for me to just never crush again.

We does not equal Me. I think your generalizing there by saying "singles." It depends... I imagine some singles do one or the other.

Me... I'm hella sure I can snag me a Christian woman. I'm attractive. xD But... not sure if I can find a very very devoted Christian woman. In a way it's great cause then I can spend more time focusing on G-d's will and this gives me time to prepare myself for her. I'm practicing how I'll treat my wife on the women of my life. (e.i. Mom)

Not being married can make me sad, but it has its up sides :)

"I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn" (1 Corinthians 7:8-9)

"If thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh" (1 Corinthians 7:28)

So I guess Paul was saying that if we don't want to burn with passion for a spouse, and we don't mind all the trouble that comes in a marriage, then is better to marry. Otherwise, your better off staying single like he was?

Out of all the questions ever asked regarding theories, philosophies, politics, and religion, this is easily the hardest one for me to answer lol.

So I have given myself until I am 30 to figure it out. To be married or to go on a crusade against the entire world that means certain death, or if it be possible, both. These are verses of how far along to figuring it out I am. To be as Paul or Peter.

1 Corinthians 7:32-33

[SUP]32 [/SUP]But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
[SUP]33 [/SUP]But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

1 Corinthians 7:8

[SUP]8 [/SUP]I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.

1 Corinthians 9:5

[SUP]5 [/SUP]Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?


Ah choosing between two good things is always the hardest choice.
