I did not say they have to marry but to date to see if they want a relationship to continue to seek to see if they think it should work. Dating should only be if one is interested with plan to marry if it can work to test to see if one is compatible.

No, it's perfectly fine to go on a date with someone because you like them.
You may not think about getting serious til after the 4th or 5th date - and even then, it might not work out.

Better that that rush into marriage far too soon, and either divorce or feel trapped for life.

I decided to not seek to marry as I believe marriage is not priority you have to focus on your commitment to Jesus and to seek to witness not to idolise things that marriage should not be focus to seek to do it only if God has shown He wants it is it better to though you can if you find one but it should not be focus to need it and it is better not to to focus on witnessing.

True I agree. But a person who has been with person for long enough time will know already if person is suitable so should not carry it for too long if they do not want without giving reason of what they need to test.

Again, marriage should be done after talking, and praying, with your girlfriend.
If you fail to do this and consider her views and feelings, there won't be a marriage - she'll walk away.

Focus on Jesus, live your life and if, at some future date, he leads you to someone, ask him, and her, if it is right to marry.

I agree I never implied one does not need to do it but that person should not use person to stay too long that they were with and leave without giving reason that their reason is valid that they did not know before if compatible to give a reason that is not valid that one would have been able to know before if not compatible.

Ok thanks that is if I can find out but if I can not find out to know for sure I think it is better for me not to seek to marry to seek to witness

I do believe marriage is good to have partner to have goals and to serve God together and to help ensure growth of Christian’s to raise more for kingdom and to influence. I was just worried I might not be able to know if it is God will so I should not but I believe you can know to find out if you think it is good and when you pray God does not show why it would not be good idea and partner also sees it as good and does not find when they pray God saying it bad idea.

When you get a girlfriend, and if your relationship becomes serious, you will be able to discuss all this with her and seek God's will together - which is how it should be.
I have known single people who've said "I'll never marry" only to change their minds when they've fallen in love.
I have also known people who were very keen to get married and have children, but decided to focus on serving God and seeing what happened, and eventually decided that they were happily single.

It's not possible to decide to get married when you have no girlfriend, or haven't consulted her; neither should anyone say "I'm NOT going to get married", when they don't know where God might lead them.
God is not only very able, but very willing to show you his will, if you ask him.

I think even to do that is not respected to see it as doing so only because I had no choice because no one would want me and so does not testify so I don’t think is good and I think marriage may be good as people will think God does not approve of me that I don’t care for others and I would not work and not to justify bad relationships but to set example and encourage it so I think I should as it is God will and I see your point I should not say not to if it may be good and by saying God is able to lead others you mean God is able to show when you try and it does not seem right.

I wanted to get married because I believed others put me down to not respect me for my faith and I thought to marry to find one who accepts me to show them they do not have power to affect me by their beliefs and can be happy and I thought I should marry as I believed people respect married people more not to put down my faith but that may not be true and is not right anyway and I should not marry to not put stumbling block to show care for others that everyone life is important. I think it best for me to not marry that I do not need to that I will not choose to even if I meet one. I will only marry if God tells me He wills it. I will focus on getting close to God and seeking to help spread gospel.

I believe God would not say as He left to person decision not to reveal His will so person has to decide what he thinks is best I think I should seek to marry because I believe God intended Christian's to marry to encourage it for people to seek to have relationships and to show those who behave badly who are not commited in relationships that they do wrong those who are not forgiving atleast from my part to seek to do what is right to be commited and forgiving. For I believe I should not compare myself to others some people do more as single than me and they feel like they are fulfilling their mission to follow church that they are doing what they should but they make if I am not they are not convinced my life what I do is really important if I can’t be effective. And as married I may have more grace as it is needed to raise a child and to be given because I seek to raise a child to also be able to show single people how to live more effective as God approves of marriage to bless it to encourage it as one seeks to raise people for Christ.

And I believe if I don't marry people may still try to put me down but if I am married it is good witness to show others that God supported for them to not rejoice to think they are right to put down one who has faith in God. I should not say I will not marry as God may think it good for me and to be helpful if I find one I believe would be right for me if I pray to God and I feel it is right.

I decided for myself I should focus to witness to preach that it may encourage people who can’t have children if they marry to reach them to encourage them to grow to serve in their faith if they see others focusing to do so so I will not seek to marry but focus getting close to God and seeking to serve Him.

I believe I should marry to show people who think I could never be in a relationship and be happy because I am bad because of my Christian beliefs that I can and to encourage Christian’s seeking relationships as it is good to do more that perhaps you can do more with others only some are more best for single to do more

I did not want to marry as it seemed not helpful to testify to God to only marry if God tells me but I think it does not help to testify if it looks like maybe I can’t and for people to look at like I am unworthy that people should reject and and I do not believe God tells me and it may be His will I can only know if I meet one and seek God to see if it is right to proceed.

I wanted to get married because I see many Christian’s don’t accept me and also try to promote that if you didn’t serve God before it can be too late to be saved to repent if it is not time person will die for I thought perhaps if I did they would not look down on my preaching but I believe it does not help and it is more useful for gospel not to that I should not judge myself and focus to preach gospel so I will not get married unless God shows clearly without doubt somehow He wills me to
