Are you made for marriage?

Do you feel that you were made for marriage?

Everyone is made for marriage. That's exactly what the Bible says. So singles, there are no excuses.

Cuddling is good for marriage too! 😁 lol

I see that you’re married (according to your profile) and in accordance with the topic, have you found yourself marriage material? Do you have the traits to have a lasting covenant? Is your wife happy? Are you happy? Has your marriage shown you things you excel at and other things you need to grow in?

You haven’t observed that one being natural? Have you ever fought with your siblings and it just gets swept under the rug? It’s nothing, you know you still love each other. I find not all wrongs need an apology and some do need to be addressed, especially if amends need to be made. There are times where people just have an understanding, and all is well. Life goes on and “there’s no use crying over spilled milk.”

Sometimes an apology is due for the sake of their peace, so they can feel a release. You may have gotten over it, but it may be festering for them. Reconcile.

I think it’s a bit of a natural phenomenon of love, keeping no record of wrongs. Of course if the offense is greater than casual, it may have to be a decision. “God forgives me, so I ought to also forgive as God for Christ’s sake forgave me.” Kind of goes into the “those who are forgiven much love much.” It can be a strengthening of a relationship. My dad’s best friend is someone who has... pardon my language, screwed him in business multiple times and yet they are best friends. 😅 Thats clearly a God thing.

Over all, I believe it is a truth that love keeps no record of wrongs, and I’ve witnessed it in the lives of others and in the example of siblings.

(just my opinion and observations here)
It's one thing to work things out with siblings and friends......
but a whole lot harder when it comes to a spouse.......
I'm not saying that it isn't possible, just a little harder......
definitely requires some grace.
But then I guess that is one area where learning to love like Jesus, love unconditionally comes into play.

Any response to this would be classified as bragging. So let's leave it at that. People should focus on whether God intended for all human beings to be married.

I think there is a strength in being confident in who you are, knowing who you are and being satisfied with yourself as a person. You go into the relationship whole. Since you’re whole, what can you do but give? 😉

It’s also important to receive however, and you might be surprised at how much you appreciate affection. People want acceptance, it’s only natural. You may say you are perfectly content alone, but maybe you’ll be even more satisfied in a relationship? You may have more to offer than you realize.

during my afternoon nap, as per usual I was praying, the lord told me in no uncertain terms who this person actually is and I am to wait for her! What a mighty God we have!

Do you feel that you were made for marriage? Are you of the right temperament? Do you feel like you are lacking something for marriage or do you feel that you are equipped for marriage?

For myself I feel like I need to accomplish certain things beforehand. If I am being honest before all of you, lately I’ve been feeling destitute. If you look at the definition of destitute it means “lacking the basic necessities for life.” I feel that way lately, about life. I find myself asking, “How do people live this life?” I feel so inadequate.

Beyond certain things that I need to accomplish and have happen though, I do believe God is preparing me and has prepared me for marriage and made me for it. I remember one time my parents speaking of me, and my mother said, “Ben can bring joy into any situation.” I have found oftentimes when people are in disagreement I try to bring laughter into the situation. To bring peace, and simmer things down. I believe this is a good marriage trait, to maintain peace. I always pray to the Lord that in my marriage (to be) that our household is a household of peace, love, and joy.

So, do you find yourself being created for marriage? Do you see traits in yourself that tend to a lasting covenant? Do you see areas that you want the Lord to work on?

I know for me, I know God sanctifies us and with marriage in mind, I pray God sanctifies me and prepares me for a beautiful marriage. I have a song lyric I wrote and it says, “Make me a saint, I want no complaint.” It also says, “Purify me, sanctify me. My heart, my mind, and my emotions in line.” I hope that God is preparing me, and her for each other. I believe He is.

I just thought it might be an interesting thread. Are you made for marriage?

Hasn't that happened a few times already though??

I’m curious. If you are open to elaborate I would love to know which uncertain terms, and why must you wait for her? Is she already married or more of a friend that will undoubtedly surrender to your charms given time?
