THIS Is Why You May NOT Want To Get Married If You're Single | Church Gone Wild #13

Marriage is pushed in our society as the norm so much so that if a person is not married, they begin to feel pressure or begin to feel like something is wrong with them. But, did you know that the Bible teaches that there are some valid reasons why it may be better for SOME singles to remain single even though marriage is an option? This video will outline four of these reasons.

Put God first and He will take care of the rest

[jewelsm.]

Relationships take energy and work. Often we see all the positives & think we want what others have- not knowing about the struggles we don’t see. The Lord knows what’s best for each one of us ✝️🕊💜

[marciacoe]

You are right being single has so much freedom to serve God and the church.

[dorina]

If more messages like these were shared in churches, Christians would make more informed decisions about whether they really want to get married or stay single and serve the Lord. Thank you Pastor Allen, for the video!

Yes, married people stop asking us single folks, why are we single? Why are you married? Still believing for my purpose partner as a single woman in her 40's. Tfs

Being married was the biggest blessing of my life. My husband unexpectedly died at 39 in July 2021. I miss him terribly every day. But because of how wonderful he was and our relationship was, I know I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. I'm trying to fully trust God to be my provider and defender. I'm trying to find as many ways as possible to serve God. But I miss so much having that partner in everything. I pray to find that again!

30 and single and praying and preparing (out of faith and trust in the LORD) for a wife... praying its soon

[jend]

Really enjoyed this message. As a single, I sometimes feel like I’m an outsider at church. Thank you for this talk!

[hiphopexorcist]

Before I got married at 40 years old, I was getting discipled and doing ministry constantly. I'm grateful that I didn't waste my singleness by learning how to serve and make the best of my time to make disciples and pour out my life for others. When I finally did get married, it made it easier to serve my wife and weather the various trials in my marriage. I would suggest to singles considering marriage that they learn to maximize their time to learn how to serve and minister to others before you get married. What I've learned is that marriage is not to fulfill personal happiness, but to learn to grow in character and deal with sin issues that bubble to the surface. If you are selfish, lazy or have an independent mentality, it would behoove you to not get married until you have more self control in those areas. Marriage is a beautiful thing, but it's hard and requires a lot of work. Just dropping that knowledge you can't learn in college. Peace and grace to all of the single people out there putting in work for the Kingdom!!!

Single and in my 40’s, I never wanted a husband before I underwent some trauma. After suffering a stroke, I recognized the importance of having a someone - a husband. Thank God, I am well and his love pulled me through. Thank you for this video. Grown and single is the forgotten group in churches. I’ve asked priests to speak on it, and even YouTubers to no avail. Appreciate this video!

[joycekallagho]

Marriage has alot of responsibility... I never knew this untill I got The fact that there is a lot of " to do list" and living with someone who has a thought process and personality different from you can be exhausting!!!... May the LORD give me strength. 🙏🙏🙏

Though I really love my husband ❤️

[agnesr.]

I am 32 and single and I understand your points. Paul was very wise on this topic.

But marriage is from God and he invented it for a reason. Although I am content and living in purity and by myself, I will continue praying for God to make marriage a reality in my life for him to be glorified. Although I won't be entitled. Guys, think what you want, but as much as I loooove to be single, I don't believe it is the best way of life - at least for me. May God glorify his beautiful name and power in any season though. Peace and out.

[EvangelineRudolph]

I wished I heard this teaching decades ago because I always felt this way. I have been divorced since 2013, and my exhusband remarried. I definitely believe I always had the gift of singleness even while I was married. I got married out of anxiety and peer pressure when I was young. I enjoy my peace, freedom and celibacy of being single.

[eulyfritamporingues]

I love being single it give me more peace than being in a relationship. 😇

Thank you for this video. Certain Christian influencers often pressure us singles (especially women) to get married. I’m in my early forties, single, and childfree. I learned to enjoy my singleness by doing what God has called me to do, doing what I love, and being with the people I love. I’m thankful for supportive family, friends, and church—I don’t feel much pressure to get married. It makes this season so much easier. I would like to get married someday to share my life with someone, but I’m not in a rush. It’s mainly because God has tasked me with so much to do, and I love my own space! I am grateful.

[Brother_STX]

I am 38 years old and single. I've had a couple of relationships that were supposed to lead to marriage, but it was too hard for me. The most difficult thing was to devote my free time, my passions, time to read the Bible, time to play sports, etc. Someone later told me that it was because I was selfish. I don't know if this is the case, I just have a hard time sharing my life with someone. Right now, I am glad to be able to study the Word and be involved in the church. We will see what the future holds, but the thought that I will be alone for the rest of my life is a less and less problematic for me. The world is going crazy, there is hope that the Lord will come soon :)

[felicia_love]

Thanks so much for this video. As a Christian single woman who has been blessed with the gift of celibacy it’s a little frustrating dealing with the opinions and criticism from peers and others on why I’m not married. And I feel bad sometimes like maybe I should be married but then I’m reminded of Paul and the very scriptures you mentioned from the Bible. So thank you again for the reminder, it’s so encouraging.

[wioletalondon]

Paul is so right when he talks about marriage in 1 Corinthians 7. Unfortunately many Christians are so fixated on marriage that some completely disregard this chapter of the Bible. I am single woman, 41, never really wanted to get married till I came to Christ over 4 years ago... Was it Christ or Christian who have 'convinced' me? Still don't know ... I can't even say how many prophesies I've received about wonderful man of God coming into my life, how many conversations or questions I had about whether I met someone or simply 'when I'm getting married?'..., how many disappointments (at that age it's pretty hard to find Christian man who is not 10 years younger and still single or who is not messed up or divorced....) It's been many times since than when I decided to stay single and serving the Lord, but many Christians didn't have it and continue prophesying... It's tiring and such a waste of time. But it should be about getting married to someone you are in love with, right? Not just for the sake of getting married. May the Lord have grace on us all who are still single whether you want to get married or not. May it be His will. Plus Jesus is coming back very soon 😀 Let's focus on serving Him and winning more souls to His Kingdom

[yahushasdaughter]

I really want to get married and i pray YAH help me make it work.Marriage is a gift from our HEAVENLY father to us.
