Marriage is not the answer to unhappiness

  • Society and media often portray singleness as a "deficiency," suggesting women are incomplete without a romantic partner.
  • Romance is falsely sold as the missing puzzle piece to happiness and stability.
  • If marriage guaranteed joy, divorce rates would not exist. 
  • Instead, marriage can sometimes intensify loneliness or disappointment if used to fill a spiritual void.

 

The Source of True Joy

  • The Apostle Paul, writing from prison, found contentment "in the Lord" regardless of his circumstances. 
  • His secret was realizing that knowing Christ is of surpassing worth compared to all other gains.
  • Jesus, the only man who will never let us down, is the source of true joy and wholeness.

 

Embracing Singleness

  • Singleness is not a waiting period but a unique time to focus fully on following Jesus.
  • Anchoring oneself in Christ during this season prepares a person better for any future, including marriage.

 

Praying to Jesus, the real joy giver

Lord Jesus, the day is done.

I confess that today, I look for worth in mirrors, phones, and the approval of others.

By your grace, I declare that I am already complete.

I am not a half-empty cup begging for a refill.

You are the Bridegroom who knows me.

You are the Treasure that holds me.

You are the joy I crave.

I rest now, fully known and fully satisfied in You.

Amen.
