What if I choose not to get married?
In today's segment, we discuss those who prefer not to marry. It's certainly not uncommon. However, it does create more challenges than most life styles. Let's see how the Holy scriptures sees it.1 Corinthians 6:18-20 & 1 Corinthians 7:1-2
"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.". . . still, we have the choice of not joining with the opposite sex, for reason that you have a right to stand on.
Nevertheless, it presents such an enormous challenge, simply because we creations of interaction. We are made to interact, to fellowship, to associate; and ultimately, we are accountable for our own actions, first to ourselves, and then to God!
Believe me dear hearts, after seeing so many injustices in life; men not taking care of there responsibilities, wife abuse, child melestation, cheating husbands and wifes,marriages gone sower, and many other reasons that warrant you staying single, I understand! but please keep this in mind: Romans 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
The choice of course is still yours. Can you still be happy? Of course you can. Inevitability has a way of finding us all; so life is good, and so is God!
So be of good cheer, my single readers, it's all in the game called life!
If that day would ever come that you embark upon marriage however, embrace it! It will open a new door for you that could not even imagine.
God Bless you and have a wonderful and prosperous day. . . .and remember:
YOU ARE BLESSED!

I have been reading this blog for sometime now, and I must tell you sir, that I am very impressed.marriage God's way is very easy if we let God be the foundation of our marriage.And i agree that for those who choose not to marry,they must abstain totally rather than wrec havoc in established homes with their promiscuos ways as some have choose not to marry for fear of being tied to one person for the rest of their life.May God help us all.
