Christ teaches us, in the context of worrying about daily, mundane affairs, to seek His kingdom and its righteousness, and He'll work the rest out (my own paraphrase).
I am married, have a few kids, work as an electrician, etc. Is all of that "God's will"? Well, I am where I am, and God's will for me now is to serve my family and my employer, and to grow closer to Christ. When my car gives up the ghost, I'll look for a good deal on another one. Will that car be God's will? I don't know, but I know that he doesn't want me to be irresponsible. When I bought my house, I had no idea if God wanted me to have that specific house. But I did the best I could to get my family into a house that we could afford. I got married, but was it God's will that I marry that specific woman? I don't know, but we have a great deal in common, have common goals and work well together.
"Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."
