Mixed thoughts.

[Single Life]

I have mixed emotions on the thoughts of singleness and marriage. I know it not un heard of for someone my age to marry but on the other hand it not unheard of someone to be single for a life time. I have heard of a well known seminary professor to stay single his entire life. So my thoughts really have been a mixed bag on these two thoughts. I have been praying this prayer to God recently and asking His will to be done.

It's okay to have mixed thoughts about whether marriage is good for you. There are blessings and hardships associated with both singleness and marriage, either state is lawful and potentially profitable for a Christian man or woman, a godly spouse could be a great blessing and an ungodly spouse could be the biggest obstacle one could ever face to serving God faithfully- all reasons to pray earnestly, screen diligently, discern carefully, and not be hasty in going forward in marriage or in concluding one will stay single for life.
