Frequently Asked Questions
Is God's plan for my life really to get married, or could this be a distraction from His true purpose?+
Psalm 37:4 says, 'Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.' Trust in God's goodness and sovereignty. His plan for marriage is rooted in His love for His children and desire for us to find companionship and love in Him first.
What if I have trust issues or a history of heartbreak, does God expect me to be okay with just anyone?+
God calls us to be holy and to love others as He loves us (Colossians 3:14, 1 John 4:8). He knows our past and our struggles. He desires intimacy, trust, and love, and promises to redeem those areas in our lives (Romans 8:28). Seek Him for restoration and a new heart before marriage.
How do I know if I'm looking for a godly spouse or just someone to make me happy?+
Philippians 3:10 says, 'I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings.' A godly spouse will be someone you can serve alongside, support, and love as you both follow Jesus. Seek someone who prioritizes their relationship with God above their desire for happiness or personal fulfillment.
