Can the desire for marriage become an idol?

[@春暖花開-c9l]

無論結婚還是單身、有孩子還是沒孩子，禱告後神怎麼安排就是適合你的就是最好的。強求就是可能會是把婚姻子嗣當成偶像了。錢慾情慾權慾都當遠離。

Abraham and Noah, their assignments are 100 and 500 years waiting. More import task is enduring more questioning from God “Do you love me?” This generation, marriageable age adults cannot find their mates. What? Where? & How? I ask the same question. Call for support group .

Excellent sharing! Thanks for the reminder that not every desire of our heart is from the Lord, including wonderful ideas like a new ministry, marriage, children, etc.

Recently a podcast from Paul Trip was really good in this, doing the will of God also means we take the next step in faith, big or small. Such insight!

❤Thanks Melody so much for taking about the struggles as a single Christian woman. I’m similar age as you and recently so bothered so much by all these struggles.

[@Precious-Cost]

回轉像小孩子，單單仰望主，信心交托主，得勝屬於主！ 在耶穌基督里，一無所缺。一切好處都不在主以外。 得勝屬於主！耶穌是婚姻的主！聖靈啓示真理，唯一配偶，唯一婚約。 為未來配偶的救恩禱告，為對方將婚姻的主權還給耶穌禱告。 為神啓示未來婚姻的藍圖禱告，為神啓示未來的配偶是誰禱告。

I think is a natural that you desire to be a mom as a woman and for companionship in life . God created man and women in one for marriage. I missed quite bit of good Christian brothers when younger. I was very shy and picky , didn’t date that much. And focus on the wrong one . ( but, no regrets) Hope you go on dates and enjoy meeting friends. Now, continue to trust & keep your eyes on God , May he have that urgency to find you. Bless both of your steps and loved life together!

Having a desire to be married IS NOT unspiritual. All the honor and glory in God are found in the mundane. If you think raising kids, and coping with your husband is “uninspiring”, then don’t do it. Broken marriages and broken relationships come about due to “ungratefulness”. 感恩 是一切 人與人，人與神 的關係。

[@susuCindy]

Marriage is not a necessary step for everyone. The true joy is from God, not from anything else. Spiritual children are the most important in God's sight. After getting married, our attention is divided. Apostle Paul talked about it in 1 Corinthians chapter 7. Staying single for the lifetime is a shame to God? Absolutely not. Why people focus so much on wordly things, like job, money, house, car, marriage, children. Why did God ask Abrahem to sacrifice his son? Because lots of people put their children before God. Their life's hope is their children. God wants to test if Abrahen likes that or not. If you truly live in spirit, not soly in flesh, you will not be bothered by being single. Because being single or being married is not important at all for people living in spirit. Its not my focus. If God let the right person in my life, I will get married. If God calls me to be single and the right person would never show up in my life, I am also fine with that. Having said that, if you really have the desire to get married, I think maybe you want to spend more time with God and pray. Be careful not to let your desires become idols.

Melody,my opinion爱情不要看成很复杂，假如妳有一个单纯的心走上去,其余就交托给上帝,不然永远不会跨出第一步

[@huizhao8330]

Melody很坦诚很可爱！😊经常看你们的节目，非常好的讨论。正好最近在服事一些三十多岁年轻的姐妹，发现她们也都很想结婚，并有些等不及了。受你们节目的启发，最近开始很认真地思考偶像这个问题，昨天主日就分享了一篇与“想要结婚是偶像吗？”以及“如何等候”有关的信息，希望对有同样困惑的单身弟兄姐妹能有一些帮助： kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqupdZyqbtyql5osi=KRRfa9LydhmAi0OO

谢谢Melody坦然把所有事都分享出来。 等候神自己想要的安稳与保障，而不是自己建造寻求，害怕错失机会，都是信心的考验
