What do you think is most satisfying in marriage? What is it that singles yearn for?
What makes marriage God glorifying?
I suppose that is three seperate questions? Anyone got answers?
Three separate questions yes, but very tied together in answer. The Bible says that the church is the bride of Christ. Marriage emulates the most satisfying phenomenon in existence, the blessed union between a human person and the pulchritudinous person of God! I would like nothing more in my life than to be with God! And I believe that any true Christian has this same desire. Being with a woman is not as wonderful, but it has it's similarities. And I believe that a couple reasons God made male and female on the earth is: to comfort us before we come to Him, to learn to trust someone, to be passionate for someone, to be intimate with someone, to sacrifice for someone, to bring the urge to understand each other, and to learn commitment and loyalty to someone. And all of these things are good and anything that is good brings glory to God because He is responsible for all good in existence. These same things are the things that singles yearn for. So yes, the questions all come from the same place in the heart.
