Today, we will discuss the important aspects of waiting for marriage. We need to be patient and trust in God’s plan at every moment. We need to wait on God’s plan for marriage. When we wait on God, our relationship with God deepens.
Marriage is a sacred covenant through which you and your partner become holy. By waiting, we honor this sacred bond and we respect God’s perfect timing.
Many times, we forget God and marry according to our desires. But we need to remember that if God is not with us, we will fail in every endeavor. Since God wants to partner with us from the beginning of creation, we should do everything with God.
Those who have completely surrendered their lives to God have never been harmed or ashamed. Because God wants us to walk with Him in every moment of life, we honor God by doing so.
Let us give God the main place in life and wait for His plan for a sacred matter like marriage. We will walk as He leads us.
