God leads us, God guides us, and God gives us guidelines. But ultimately, it’s your choice.
Notice it is a choice. God doesn't do this for you. God says you make the choice, who your spouse will be.
However, and inspect of all the knowledge in the written word, many people still believe the myth that there is only one right person for them.
That’s very romantic, just thinking about it but it’s just not true. It’s also not biblical. And it’s not even logical!
If there were only one right person for everybody in the world, it would only take one person to make a wrong decision and break the chain for everybody else.
In your life there are multiple people God would say it’s OK for you to marry. There are millions that he would absolutely rule out, but there are multiple opportunities that God would say “OK” to. It’s your choice. It’s your preference.
There’s another myth that many people believe: Love alone is enough reason to marry.
Sometimes I talk to friends, I look at them and think, “There’s no way these guys should be together.”
The family background isn't right. The spiritual background isn't right. The personalities aren't right. They don’t have the same amount of energy or ambition. They don’t even have the same values and goals. But, they “love each other …”
Just because you love someone does not mean you should marry that person.
God doesn't tell you who to marry.
But he does give you a description of the kind of person that he desires for you to marry. If you want God’s blessing and protection on your marriage and you want success in your marriage, then you need to listen to what God has to say about the kind of person you should marry.
But he choice is yours!!!!!
