What motivated me to preach about marriage to the unmarried?

The answer is that single people cannot live their lives well as singles without a balanced, informed view of marriage.  If they do not have that, they will either over-desire or under-desire marriage, and either of those ways of thinking will distort their lives.

If single Christians don’t develop a deeply fulfilling love relationship with Jesus, they will put too much pressure on their dream of marriage, and that will create pathology in their lives as well.

Some practical teaching for marriage seekers.

  1. Recognizing that there are seasons for not seeking marriage.
  2. Understanding the gifted ness of singleness. 
  3. How to get serious about seeking marriage.
  4. How not to get emotionally involved with a non believing person.
  5. Feel attraction in the most comprehensive sense. 
  6. Don’t let things get too passionate too quick. 
  7. How not to become a faux spouse for someone who won’t commit to you. 
  8. Getting and submitting to lots of community input.
