you had me after the first point about the 3B's, and point 4 (who you kick with = it's easier to fall in love when you spend idle time with them even if they're not connected to God) is only too relevant
I think your looking for someone who is perfect in Christ. NO ONE is perfect, everyone will sin, everyone will mess up. Two Christians, like you said about the ox, help each other. When she falls, you help her get back on track. When you fall she helps you. Your both in a battle together. Maybe your a little bit pickier becasue you are a pastor and your walk is strong, and I respect that. but maybe you should pray that you open your heart, to more girls, and not judge them for not being perfect
God prescribes marriage in His word as an illustration of His love for His people, both to the couple and to the world. "Marriage is glorious, but I got high standards." There's no talk here about redeeming a woman, of serving her and loving her like Christ loved the church. No, you list women in your life like dirty exit ramps, rungs of temptation on a ladder to that Christian superstar God's got for you. Marriage is God's and it's not carnal. Pseudospirituality is.
it's really not that difficult...there are plenty of women who are spiritually mature in Christ and are looking for a good man who loves God and wants what they want. we make it overly complicated, so busy scrutinizing, rationalizing and analyzing, and end up doing the very thing you condemn others for doing.
Pastor Justin, I agree and its hard being a woman who feels this way because I almost feel like a freak for not obsessing over getting married bc it seems that many women seem to live for marriage and although I too would love to be married it is not my single most important priority and I dont believe I would regret if I didn't get married and it wasn't until earlier this year that I finally met other women who I believe feel the same way!
Amen.......if God wants something to happen...IT WILL!! I will only be in a relationship if that means I can better serve GOD's kindgom that way...LOOVE IT! Your standards can never be toooo high because if God wants something to happen, IT WILl
WOW! This so awesome I'm going to have to re post this. I say the EXACT same thing and people think that I am nuts lol If we can't wreck shop together as a married couple for the Kingdom there is no need for there to be an us! I absolutely love this! Amen. Everyone else that has an issue with this, I would as 2Tim 2:15 tell us to do. Study to show thyself approved, and when you do that, you will see why he saying these things. I definitely will not settle! Love this video!
Thanks for this vid. What I've learned is that many of us say that we are content in whatever state that we are in, but many of us put a time limit on how long we are going to remain content. We figure as long as it's not too long we can rock wit it. But what happens when we are still in our single state for years...will we still be content? That's where the real test comes in I think to show that we really mean what we say. Praise Jesus. He has proven to be all that we need and more.
I dont think that god should be the reason you marry someone or love someone. It should be about the persons personality and looks(to your taste). Also I respect that you believe in god and thats great if it makes you a better person but I dont like when people take a 3,500 year old book called the bible literally and restrict there lives to it. Im just sick of all this god talk, I wish people can just live there lives without religion coming into it.
Oh my goodness this is ON POINT!!!! Thank you SO VERY MUCH. I LOVE your standards and have adopted many of them already myself. This video clip will be such an encouraging tool for my single sisters who are going thru because they are in their late 30's and are not married. You have spoken the very words all singles need to hear which is GOD HAS MUCH WORK FOR US TO DO AS SINGLES. Life is NOT over because you are not married. Being single is NOT a death sentance....AMEN and AMEN!!
i like wut ur sayin, ur livin an unselfish life, ur livin ur life for Him, and i think while being single, ur focus is locked on God, while ur working under His will, he is working for ur promises and doors He has stored to soon b open in ur future, ur a strong man of God, and the woman He is preparing for you is still in the making, wen God knows u guys are equally yolked, i believe he will open the door for you two to meet...this video is great for those men who are stuggling in their walk
so you are looking for someone to challenge you who is more devoted to pleasing god? and your entire life is based off of pleasing god?? Whatever floats your boat, if it aint broke dont fix it. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Hey pastor justin!!! this is awesome.. it's my first time watching any of your videos, and it's tremendous; i like the message!!.. i only wish many young or even older men out there (christians and non christians included) have such mentality. As you said, the single years should be the most sacred, tender, and active years in the present of God, but people make excuses, claiming they what to "explore". i pray many are changed or strengthed by this.
Yeahhh but people cant say that guys are single because they have not found a girl with a big bootie boobs or beauty Because i have boobs i have a big beauty and i get called beautiful so youno its not baised on looks cause im still single :) xx
Pastor Justin you are speaking the truth, Gods word should be the final authority in our daily lives period. God first and everthing else will come. Keep letting God use you bro! Be Blessed!
Finally are you afraid of marriage? Freedom is not hiding or avoiding women to ensure you don’t get involved– choose a higher level of circumspect ladies who know who they are as oppose to ‘girls’, which you consistently refer to. I would hope that your spirituality and drive for God could be lived out in any circumstance, whether single or married - in an ordained marriage God gives diverse but compatible gifts and I believe as a Pastor for any significant growth your going to need this.
conti...freedom in Christ is not only the choice to be single but to marry also, they are both callings. Again marriage is used as symbolism as Christ is to the church to reflect the type of relationship God has ordained. I honour the things God honours (even though I am happly single) and he honors marriage. All things are given for his glory including marriage and for note both both married and singles are called to be kingdom minded.
When a man finds a wife he finds a good thing and receives favour of the Lord. When you find a your good thing, you will know. Continue to wait on the Lord and be of good courage.
Thank you, friend. The Word does say, "To everything there is a season". When God feels it's your season, He will send you the woman He wants you to have. Stay Blessed.
I just was thinking about reason 3: IM not really buying the whole god has an agenda for you thing i believe we make our own choices..he gave us the freedom of choice....he didnt predetermine that you would marry a certain girl ...the bible does encourage singleness it describes it as a gift its cool your taking that route. God didnt decide that you should where that yellow Gshock you did..the same it is with a mate you choose her like you chose that yellow G Shock...
Oh my gosh, this is sooo awesome. It's good to hear a man of God with such standards who won't compromise. I pray that your walk continues to stay strong and that you are kept from any woman that would hinder your walk in God. I pray your woman of God is so on fire for God that you both go out and advance the kingdom together. This encourages me to keep my standards and not settle. Amen Pastor Cox!
Excellent advice! I am not a christian but I am divorced so have some experience in this matter... Unfortunately in this day and age women in USA and the west are not glorifying God and are not of marriageable standard!
Amen!! You have put my thoughts into words!! I'm so grateful 1Corin7 spoke to me early in my walk. It's sad to see people get distracted and settle. Yes we will still glorify God by caring for our family, but there's so much growth that should take place before marriage. This message is so edifying. Thanks for allowing yourself to be used by God. SHALOM ALEICHEM
Have you ever thought that maybe you didnt have a choice? meaning you may think your single because you chose not to marry those woman but in reality god has chosen reason to keep you married because it may mess up your walk or he isn't ready to send the woman he made for you.
lol...I cant take it He is hilarious!!! but I agree, people are so fast to get married to some1 and they haven't even identified with who they are and more than that who God is..how can they truly want t be with some1 and they haven't been educated on who they are in God? now people would have to add another task and obligation and they haven't completed the #1 task knowing who God is!!! now they both got baggage and walking around with a hole lot of mess!!!
Hey I love your preaching and it really means something, as a christian I support your preaching, and you've helped me make good choices as a christian, thanks, I just had a question whats with the "Love Sucks" t-shirts?
Real talk right here, lot of truth in this video! I understood where you were coming from totally! I kinda agree that people aren't watching this to the end that are trying to go in. JMO
I love this video! to the listeners...some of you are just not listening to what he is saying you all are listening up to a certain point....stopping it...and commenting on that one part...notice how this man of God is backing everything he is saying with the scriptures...its not like he is saying this out of spite, or that he is cocky, or that he is holier than thou...listen to what he said @ 7:28-7:41...actually listen to the WHOLE video before you comment please..
Good message. Note of warning though. Never get too cocky. Remember King David & Solomon, just to name two in the OT. Also, since Christ many men of God have fallen after saying & thinking such things. Stay grounded in Christ & nothing else.
A question though: what if the woman God has intended for you is one that is "weaker in faith" than you are, and the reason for why God wants you two to be together is for YOU to be the one that is gonna bring HER closer to God? Great to have standards, but be careful not to put limits on God's intentions and plans for you life... Maybe you would like to have that kind of wife, but He has another one prepared for you.
God bless you, love your videos and the work that you do! /Carol, Sweden
Pastor Justin you seem to preach from theology, have you ever spoke form the spirit? you know alot of Bible verses, but I also see you crumping in one of your videos(15 questions Christian woman need to ask a man video). Just asking I wouldn't want you to do all this work and only to have God say depart from thee, for I do not know thee.
@zumaridi Paul does say that marriage or rather the ability to be married is a gift and that if you can't handle it then it is not for you. That's what he said. I beleive its in Corinthians, but I'm sure you can find it online because that is a contriversial topic.
Thanks Pastor Justin. I'm always blessed by ur encouraging, at times convicting, and Word-supported advice. I pray that you'd always allow God to use you in watever way He wants to and may He lead the right kind of partner to you. I pray that he'd also do the same for me.
Hey just want to say that this is awesome but a word of encouragement. Matt 6:33-34 33Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.34“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today." NLT
I just wanted to say that I complete understand your side as a Godly man who hasn't found a woman who doesn't have to say a thing but you know she has the Holy Spirit not just in her but dwelling and outpouring. And us girls feel the same. It's very rare to find a man who isn't afraid to pick up his sword and fight the battle and love his bride as Christ loved the church. You'll know this girl when you find her. Or better yet, when God brings her.
Don't know your heart: i understand where those saying maybe you looking for perfect are coming from. I also know that my life is following more of what you saying, but I could be wrong. Pray the Lord would reveal and strengthen us in the right convictions.
Sir. Thank you. Thank you for standing up for all the brothers who ain't GAY and don't believe that booty is the only thing they need to run after. I was looked down upon many times in my life because of what you just said. Especially for a man its terrible. Stand firm man of God in this statement. The Lord confirmed to me today just as he did to Elijah that I have more Prophets who have not bowed to BAAL. God bless.
Hello! I loved this message but 'm in a relationship right now and every since I've been in a relationship, together we have been edifying eachother, growing exponentially! I would not have grown this much without him by my side. Together we have spend more time with Christ, helping eachother. We just have to make sure we keep Christ at the center of our relationship. Like you said, Christ is the ultimate answer to everything! Not marriage or a relationship! But nonetheless together we've grown.
@zumaridi "I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— " (1Cor 7:32-33)
this quote is normally from a female stand point but ill change things around...a man's heart should be so lost in GOD that a woman has to seek HIM in order to find him....it's obvious that u have a desire to be married but enjoying your wholeness in CHRIST...I pray that GOD continues to lead you...remember that unless GOD builds the house...they labor in vain who build it...May GOD and only GOD be the builder of your union! GOD bless bro!
Pastor Cox, I admire you--not because you are black, not because you are funny, and not for any artificail reason. I admire you because you are for TRUTH! Those are really high standars and I love that about you. Also it doesn' hurt that you ARE balck and funny. I'm a young black brotha studying the scriptures myself and I've been told that I'm funny so those characteristics just gives me more reasons to relate to you. By the way, my wife and I love John MacArthur. God bless you brotha!
the best book to read is God's call to the single adult!!! best ever it will totally change ur whole out look on being single... everybody is such in a rush to date or get married when we really havent even lived out our single life to its true potential!
HALLELUIA!!!!!!! i just had this conversation w my father who is a pastor. i had a moment and i asked him are my standards to high? bcas i hav not had the greatest past but i am forgiven and reborn. God is not a respector of persons no one is more important than the other that God will not do for one that he will do for another. if u are seeking God and growin in him an are truely sold-out christian then just becas u made bad decisions in the past doesnt make u less of a person that u
Your choices are what suit you but I believe people come into our lives for god's intended purposes. You want a woman who makes you want to be a better christian but what if part of your purpose is to make HER want to be a better christian? What if her spirit awaits a man like you to nurture that? Don't out-rule it based on your standards. Standards is the reason so many black women have problems with finding someone...they set them unrealistically high which puts themselves on a pedastool.
This reminds me of when I was single. All I wanted to do was serve God with no distraction. Quite often God just wants us to himself, so that we can experience his fullest. There’s a season and time for everything. Great Video and thanks for sharing!
Marriage is ministry....you want your mate to be the mate God has for you to work with in the Kingdom for the upbuilding of it. I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING this!
And as for the poster who said "you ain't that strong" they were right. No one is that strong! That's why we are Christians, depending on the cleansing strength of the blood of Christ! Any single, God-fearing single man or woman can be strong in Christ. We are not animals, at the mercy of our lusts, our desires or our supposed "needs" ; we are sons and daughters of God! Trust!
I really expected her to say that he was married (aftter all, he is a PASTOR) but she was like "No he's single." That was all I needed. I'm going through my own period of lonliness and living for God, I really do not want to hear someone who has someone to go home to each night tell me about being lonely......so Pastor, good for YOU!!!
Personally I think its a blessing that Pastor Justin is still single....as a single woman trying to live for God and be strong, I'm done hearing MARRIED folks tell me how to be single and wait on the Lord. I wanna hear from someone who KNOWS the struggle. A friend of mine told me about Pastor Justin videos. Maybe I shouldn't have been this way, but my first question was "is he single or married?"
You've made some excellent points. I totally agree. Too many people get caught up paying more attention to the flesh and the physical rather than the spiritual. I'm older than you and single for many of the same reasons you enumerated. Your experience is almost exactly the same as mine. Keep the faith, my brother.
Thank you Pastor Justin!! I'm conflicted though. Not to sound conceited, but i'm a girl that is considered "beautiful" in our messed up culture (light skinned, long hair, you know what I mean lol). And I feel like Godly men do not see past my appearance and see my true heart that thirsts for the Lord. I can't change the way I look and I WILL NOT DOWNPLAY MYSELF in order to prove my Godliness! I like to keep myself up and wear girly nice things that are modest. Well what chu think about this??
This is Awesome!!! Praise God! That is all that I can say! There is nothing wrong with having those standards. Most don't have any standards and that is a problem. It is clear that your goals are in line with God's will, whether that is marriage or not. Life is all about God and advancing his kingdom and if that is what you live for then that is just great. Encouraging! God Bless You!
06:59 around that time you memtioned "Jesus became sin" I would like to know what you mean by this and the biblical reference please, because i was in the knowledge he was sinless 1st John 3:5 "And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin" thank you very much for your time.
I agree with my brother on many of these things, but I think that parts are over the top and seem more idealistic than God would have. I love the heart and 90-95% of the truth in this though. I good message nonetheless.
I loved it. Thanks for putting it out there and educating the public on what being single and getting married ought to be about. It's the truth anyhow!
Would you date anyone in your congregation? There seem to be alot of dedicated young women involved in P4CM, who would probably live up to the qualities that you are looking for in a woman.
You're absolutely right man. Marriage is ministry. If you and your wife aren't thinking about joining together to take ministry to the next level then the marriage will flop. I'm sure God will release the right one to you when the time is right.
thank you!! this was for me!! my bothers got married, I'm the last and some fam was like "your next" Thank you you articulated what's in my heart and spirit!!
This is fantastic! I wanted to write a blog called "I need a Man!" I just see so many of my Sisters, sooooo focused on getting married... Thank you for sharing... you said exactly how I feel! Thank you for laying it out!
sometimes it may take you to get a girl to that level in Christ that you are at. im not saying to lower your standards, but just seeing how much u love Christ can inspire your mate to reach for higher heights in Christ. if a women is already at a level in Christ, i think being with you would help her get some where further 2.
Even if you find this woman, you'll realize after the first week with her that she ISN'T that woman you thought she was (perfect)...Lastly, not being married because you're "kingdom minded"...wow...I just don't even know what to say about this. I hear your explanation...I'm just at a loss...I agree with buddy who suggested the Boundless webzine. Lots of good information there....Either way, I pray the Lord's will is done in your life, fam.
Admittedly, I couldn't listen to this past your 4th point. There is SO much to be said about some of the things you're saying (good and bad) that I can't even post it all here. It's commendable that you aren't allowing your eyes to choose your wife (beauty is vain)...very commendable. To put it shortly, I'm not sure that you're going to find the woman you are looking for because she doesn't exist. No person (not even you) is 100% consistent in his/her walk, so good luck with that... (continued)
I agree. I decided to take the purity pledge last July(This July will make a year) after me and my ex broke up. I was thinkinh it was a good desicion up till I wanted to date. Is it possible to "court" someone who is after God's heart like I am without sexual sin?
@zumaridi Thanks for your comment, much grace to you bro, but I'm exalting Christ not marriage or singleness. And marriage is not the ultimate answer to sexual temptation Jesus is. Greater is He that is in me. Marriage can't keep me from falling only God can Jude 24. And Marriage is not a mandate (Matt 22:22 & ICor7). But living a Spirit filled fruit bearing life, & walking in love is a mandate. And I do need to humble myself but not for marriage but for Phil 2:5. I luv U tho man godbless.
@pastorJustinofP4cm Great Biblical response but i am not sure how Matt 22.22 comes into play here. I agree marriage can never keep you from being tempted or from falling away. I would even go as far as to as that any many getting married is actually saying that God is not enough for Him, for we are complete in Christ (Col 2.10) not that anything is wrong with marriage but it is an honor. P.S pastor Justin there is no Jude 24 ;-) u meant Jude 1.24.
@pastorJustinofP4cm so if more pastors replied to other's ideas with scripture (not tradition or their own made up theories), there would be more much more saved people. Respect to you for doing so. God bless
I see why you are not married who want to fulfill God will's to fullest by marrying
a woman who is not in the same yolk as you would be steered you away from being
able to live and thrive in the word of Lord. Take your time God will bless you with a woman who is God fearning and virtous and lives to fulfill his word just as you.
I respect pastors and ministers anyone who is spearding the gospel it's a complex
postion and it is a high postion be at peace thanks.
@pastorJustinofP4cm--AMEN!...biblical...sound ....my husband and I were both saved when we met...very different backgrounds and very different "testimonies" ;)...but when we started spending time together we were both actively walking with the Lord...content in our singleness---but definitely knew that we were BETTER as ONE than we were in our singleness...always challenging one another to be more Christ-like...for real! 5 kids and 23 years later it gets better and better!
@ I disagree with people who say marriage is mandate. Paul says not getting married is great and getting married is great. There's nothing wrong with high standards AND... most importantly, God brought Adam a wife, not the other way around. You'll know when it's time, these other people are crazy for saying you have to be married or that you shouldn't get married because it will hinder your ministry. Also, getting married for purity? If you're impure it doesn't change after marriage, zumaridi.
@pastorJustinofP4cm Amen. Men of Christ should seek wisdom on this before jumping to conclusions. Us as Christ centered brothers need an infilling patience and meekness before we can even understand what His will is for us on these grounds. We need to be open to celibacy just as much as getting married. Lord give us what's good!
Omgoodness I love you!!! This is so awesome!!! Ppl always ask me why I never had a boyfriend and I think you defended my values/morals better than I did, but at the same time, I feel like I really need to check myself so that I can be more rooted in Christ. I thank you for that message. When I started listening to what you were really saying, I just went on and clicked the SUBSCRIBE button. I look forward to watching and listening to your messages in the future.
I understand completely. I was engaged to a girl who wasn't completely surrendered to Christ. I know in God's timing the right one will come along. I want a woman of God who is on fire and can call down the holy fire of God. Someone who can move the heart of heaven when she prays. And of course someone who can move my heart period.
AMEN!!! Paul speaking of singleness and the correlation of that singleness and SOLE focus on HIM and HIM alone , whereas a married man/woman focusing on pleasing their spouse in addition to God. If HE decides, and WHEN HE decides, is when it'll happen. In the meantime, I've NEVER been happier, praising HIM everyday!!! my heart feels like it's ready to burst, I'm so in Love with HIM!!! HE IS LOVE!!!
You mentioned like every type of woman on the planet and not one of them is worth considering for marriage because you feel that no one will be effective in helping you to further the Kingdom. Ok. Could it be possible for God to use marriage to a sub-par sister as a means of sanctification for both of you. Whereas you would grow in maybe patients and temperance and possibly humility as she grew in any of the same?
I agree with some of what you said and some I diagree. Research the perpose of christianty in europe. It was a tool to control the masses and monagamy is a construct within it to control populations.
I am single, but when I get married I will be having 4 beautiful black babies to add to our nation. It is time to wake african people. Hotep. Amen.
@KusanagiSyuSai Really? Is this the same Christianity that said it was wrong to wear condoms? One thing people tend to do is overlook what the Word says and goes right to the added man made stuff and call it "Christianity".
Your describing Jesus.

I think your looking for someone who is perfect in Christ. NO ONE is perfect, everyone will sin, everyone will mess up. Two Christians, like you said about the ox, help each other. When she falls, you help her get back on track. When you fall she helps you. Your both in a battle together. Maybe your a little bit pickier becasue you are a pastor and your walk is strong, and I respect that. but maybe you should pray that you open your heart, to more girls, and not judge them for not being perfect

Hey pastor justin!!! this is awesome.. it's my first time watching any of your videos, and it's tremendous; i like the message!!.. i only wish many young or even older men out there (christians and non christians included) have such mentality. As you said, the single years should be the most sacred, tender, and active years in the present of God, but people make excuses, claiming they what to "explore". i pray many are changed or strengthed by this.

Finally are you afraid of marriage? Freedom is not hiding or avoiding women to ensure you don’t get involved– choose a higher level of circumspect ladies who know who they are as oppose to ‘girls’, which you consistently refer to. I would hope that your spirituality and drive for God could be lived out in any circumstance, whether single or married - in an ordained marriage God gives diverse but compatible gifts and I believe as a Pastor for any significant growth your going to need this.
kingdomsphere 1 year ago 4
conti...freedom in Christ is not only the choice to be single but to marry also, they are both callings. Again marriage is used as symbolism as Christ is to the church to reflect the type of relationship God has ordained. I honour the things God honours (even though I am happly single) and he honors marriage. All things are given for his glory including marriage and for note both both married and singles are called to be kingdom minded.

God didnt decide that you should where that yellow Gshock you did..the same it is with a mate you choose her like you chose that yellow G Shock...

Oh my gosh, this is sooo awesome. It's good to hear a man of God with such standards who won't compromise. I pray that your walk continues to stay strong and that you are kept from any woman that would hinder your walk in God. I pray your woman of God is so on fire for God that you both go out and advance the kingdom together. This encourages me to keep my standards and not settle. Amen Pastor Cox!

Hi!
A question though: what if the woman God has intended for you is one that is "weaker in faith" than you are, and the reason for why God wants you two to be together is for YOU to be the one that is gonna bring HER closer to God? Great to have standards, but be careful not to put limits on God's intentions and plans for you life... Maybe you would like to have that kind of wife, but He has another one prepared for you.

Your choices are what suit you but I believe people come into our lives for god's intended purposes. You want a woman who makes you want to be a better christian but what if part of your purpose is to make HER want to be a better christian? What if her spirit awaits a man like you to nurture that? Don't out-rule it based on your standards. Standards is the reason so many black women have problems with finding someone...they set them unrealistically high which puts themselves on a pedastool.

@zumaridi Thanks for your comment, much grace to you bro, but I'm exalting Christ not marriage or singleness. And marriage is not the ultimate answer to sexual temptation Jesus is. Greater is He that is in me. Marriage can't keep me from falling only God can Jude 24. And Marriage is not a mandate (Matt 22:22 & ICor7). But living a Spirit filled fruit bearing life, & walking in love is a mandate. And I do need to humble myself but not for marriage but for Phil 2:5. I luv U tho man godbless.

@pastorJustinofP4cm Great Biblical response but i am not sure how Matt 22.22 comes into play here. I agree marriage can never keep you from being tempted or from falling away. I would even go as far as to as that any many getting married is actually saying that God is not enough for Him, for we are complete in Christ (Col 2.10) not that anything is wrong with marriage but it is an honor. P.S pastor Justin there is no Jude 24 ;-) u meant Jude 1.24.

@ I disagree with people who say marriage is mandate. Paul says not getting married is great and getting married is great. There's nothing wrong with high standards AND... most importantly, God brought Adam a wife, not the other way around. You'll know when it's time, these other people are crazy for saying you have to be married or that you shouldn't get married because it will hinder your ministry. Also, getting married for purity? If you're impure it doesn't change after marriage, zumaridi.

@pastorJustinofP4cm Amen. Men of Christ should seek wisdom on this before jumping to conclusions.

You mentioned like every type of woman on the planet and not one of them is worth considering for marriage because you feel that no one will be effective in helping you to further the Kingdom. Ok. Could it be possible for God to use marriage to a sub-par sister as a means of sanctification for both of you. Whereas you would grow in maybe patients and temperance and possibly humility as she grew in any of the same?

I agree with some of what you said and some I diagree. Research the perpose of christianty in europe. It was a tool to control the masses and monagamy is a construct within it to control populations.
I am single, but when I get married I will be having 4 beautiful black babies to add to our nation. It is time to wake african people. Hotep. Amen.

@KusanagiSyuSai Really? Is this the same Christianity that said it was wrong to wear condoms? One thing people tend to do is overlook what the Word says and goes right to the added man made stuff and call it "Christianity".
