Remember, being single should always be your number one priority, before you even think about getting married. Before you can love anyone else, learn to love yourself, but not in a selfish manner. Loving your neighbor will be a challenge for you if you don't have it in your heart or mind. Most of the time, we project the blame onto them. We gossip, judge, criticize, and all the time we are really thinking poorly of ourselves. You have to think that you are better than the other person in order to judge them. Thinking that you are better is not loving yourself, in fact, most of the time, it is covering up your hate.
Believe me when I share this with you. I know it is tough being unmarried in a world designed for couples. Before I met Arlene, I used to eat in restaurants alone all across this country. It was a choice that I made. Now I have a great wife, with a great mindset, with a very productive conversation and I don't mind spending money on her, because she and I are one.
Keep in mind, being conformed by the pressure of this world, to its image will definitely make you unhappy. It is better to walk alone in an alien society than to be miserable with someone else just out of conformity to this world's standards. The question arises from time to time, why didn't Jesus get married? Because He had a purpose and He definitely was a complete person. He didn't come here to start a family. That was not His purpose. He had a family. " I and My Father are one.”
I must state this: It is a great situation to have a wife and know that you are assuredly one. Like spirits attract. People who have a Kingdom mindset, who have vision, goals and purpose attract each other. A whole individual is a person who knows who they are, knows why they are at a certain place, knows where they are going and how they are going to get there.
Jesus made this statement: So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself'." What King Jesus was stating was this: the key is loving yourself, not other people. You can only love people to the extent that you accept and love yourself.
