Qualifications for Marriage

If you do plan to get married, marry someone who you can talk to over the long term. Don’t let hormones make the decision for you. Your potential spouse may seem nice, and have something that really attracts you—but you need to build a relationship for a lifetime. Make sure the building blocks of relationship are there—communication of the hard issues, conflict management, a love of the Lord Jesus above all else.

Pervasive Sexuality

In a modern city, sex is everywhere. You can’t escape it. If you live in a modern city, it is better to get married than to be beat up by bras and tight skirts. If God told you to not get married, get out of the city. Get out of the West.

To Marry or Not To Marry

Jesus and Paul advised their disciples not to marry. They were right. Marriage is a distraction. A bad marriage is deadly. But sex is kinda fun. And kids are a blast, when they’re not driving you nuts. It’s up to you—what you want to do.
