How is it that two people become one? By the Spirit of God. Only He can do what needs to be done in preparation for two people to be brought together in a godly relationship and then kept together by His Spirit.
It’s not to be by might, nor by power, nor any other way that God wants people brought together to be made one – but by His Spirit. Some say that if you want a mate, do this or do that, or don’t do this or that. God says, “pray.” He said “whatever you desire, when you pray, believe.”
It’s up to the man to find the wife – not the other way around, according to Proverbs 18:22. “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor of the Lord.” Too often these days, women are pursuing a man. But, the Bible doesn’t instruct that. He says “he who finds a wife,” not, “she who finds a husband.” If God had meant it to work that way, He would have said so.
The Word of God also tells us that the woman was made for the man rather than the other way around. Some women are hoping that they will find a man who was “made for them.” But, there aren’t any. It’s also not up to the woman to find the man. What then is her part? Praying. Watching. Waiting. Becoming more like Jesus. Doing whatever the Lord gives her to do.
What’s the man’s part, then? Seeking God. Praying. Looking to Him for His will to be done in his life, and then finding the woman that God created for him.
It’s that simple – if people would only keep it simple, and not complicate it by trying to do something they weren’t called to do.
