Wait On The Lord For Your Spouse!

 

Genesis 2:24

"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."

This is what God ordained from the beginning! Marriage, between one man and one woman. He decreed that a man should leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife.

Did God ordain a boyfriend? How about a girlfriend? Both questions can be answered with a resounding, NO!

Of course you can have a friend that's a girl, if you're a male, and a friend that's a boy if you're a female. BUT, the relationship should not move beyond that friendship if you're not an adult and God has not made it clear that the person you have a close friendship with, will become your husband or wife.

There is so much heartache and sin amongst young people today who just can't wait on God to bless them with the ONE. You can avoid all the pain and heartbreaks from the so called boyfriends and girlfriends that you think you love for a time, but then for whatever the reason it doesn't work out.

If the world followed the commands of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ the amount of abortions would drastically decrease and the amount of children born without a father present would plummet as well. 

There wouldn't be any sexually transmitted diseases, unplanned pregnancies, and no promiscuity etc.....

Here's what the statistics say:

"In the United States, over 18.5 million children live with a single mother or father. Approximately five million children aged five and under live in a single parent household. Almost one-fourth (23%) of children under the age of 18 live with one parent and no other adult, which is the highest in the world."

"Approximately 40-50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce. Specifically, about 42%-45% of all first marriages and 60% for second marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate has been declining, and in 2019, it hit its lowest point in 50 years."

"In the first six months of 2024, the monthly national abortion count averaged nearly 98,000 abortions. That eclipses the 2023 monthly average of 88,000 and the 2022 monthly average of 81,400." 

That means that over one million pregnancies were aborted in 2024 alone!

So if all this is going on in the world, shouldn't those who profess Christ be completely the opposite? Yes Indeed!!!!

Let the people of God, OBEY the commands of God! We must wait on the Lord for our spouse's, and we must cry out to Him for guidance, and confirmation about the one we are to spend the rest of our lives with. It's a very important decision, and we need to be absolutely sure we are making the right choice!

In Christ,
