  I'm Thinking of Popping the Question Marriage is a huge and precious committment. Marriage should not be entered into unadvisably as well. Marriage is forever; at least that's the goal. When thinking of marriage; one must be confident in their decision. There can not be any doubt; even though there will be unsureness sometimes ;which is what's called "cold feet" and is understanadable. Let's dive into the subject a little deeper. The Big Question of All..... How Do I Know She/He Is The One? It is hard to know the answer to that question for sure. - Some say it's in the eyes.
- Some say' it's in their conversation.
- Some people have even said; "This may be the best I ever get."
What Does the Word of God Say? - In all things; take it to God in prayer. You must go to your Heavenly Father for guidance. You may have to fast during this prayer time as well to ensure that you are hearing from God on this subject.
- The enemy hates family so we know that a family unit is what God has designed for a married couple.
- Sex is for those who are married. Sex is a sole tie and is a privledge for the married bedroom.
- Darkness and Light have no combination; so it's best to marry someone who believes in God. You can not be a Catholic and the other is a Jehovah Witness without spiritual conflict arising. You two must agree.
- When you marry; your first priority is your spouse. The creation of marriage is recorded in Genesis 2:23-24: "The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called “woman,” for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." God created man and then made woman to complement him. Marriage is God’s “fix” for the fact that “it is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18).
- As well; wives are for the pleasure of your husbands. Ladies; if you are saying; "He'll get it when he gets it" or "I am grown. He don't tell me(with attitude)"; marriage is not yet for you. The Word tells us clearly; Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior" (Ephesians 5:22-23).
- Men; if you are not yet ready to commit to being the bread winner, prime decision maker or protector; you might want to wait for marriage. As well, husbands were designed to be the head. If you are looking for someone to go in half on the rent; you need a roomate more than a wife "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" (Ephesians 5:25). "In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church” (Ephesians 5:28-29). “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh” (Ephesians 5:31).
