How to Find the Right Person for Marriage

By A. A. Christian

Being single is seen as a chronic problem that needs to be solved and those who just had it solved want to share their secret, i.e. the secret to finding love and getting married.
The question of who to marry is an age-long one. Every single man or woman asks this question either silently in their hearts or speaks out to the hearing of someone else.
I was at the bank some time ago to carry out a transaction when I met a long-time friend who was trying to back out of a relationship due to certain personal reasons. He needed to be sure he was doing the right thing. As I shared with him certain signposts to watch out for if one is in the will of God, he told me that someone had told him that there is nothing like 'The will of God in marriage.' Thank God, he objected to that counsel. When I finished talking with him and was about leaving, he said to me, "Thank God; I met you today." I observed that a weight of confusion was lifted off him.
In How to Find the Right Person for Marriage, you will discover the amazing proven principles for finding the right spouse. You will enjoy this book and recommend to others definitely.

CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION

The question of who to marry is an age-long one. Every single man or woman asks this question either silently in their hearts or speaks out to the hearing of someone else. In singles’ summit and other relationship seminars and workshops, people who are yet to be married long for an answer to the question, Who do I marry?

There is really no one-definite and exclusive way to know if God is asking you to marry someone. There is no one-way fit all kind of thing when it comes to knowing who to marry.

But while some wait for their parents or guardian or even friends to show them who to marry and spend the rest of their lives with, others go before a shrine or occult to seek for direction.

No matter how sensually appealing, result-proven and well acclaimed these sources are to the world, they cannot really validate God’s will for the Christian. If we agree that the manufacturer of a particular product knows its specifications and how best it can function, it should not be incredible for us to accept that God, being the creator of man, knows how best to join a man and a woman in marriage. Marriage is God’s brainchild, so he knows perfectly well who should marry who. The way God has wired you will determine the kind of person He brings to complement you.

Some people may claim that many who got married without really praying about whom they married had also built good homes. To conclude on who to marry without seeking God’s guidance is like attempting to walk across a tiny plank that is placed over a gorge with your eyes closed. It is living by chance occurrence or luck. But life is so important to you and I that we cannot afford to treat it carelessly.

God is still in the business of working through our lives. He brought you into the world and desires to guide you when it comes to the choice of a life partner. His work in your life did not just start and stop at forming you in your mother’s womb and bringing you into the world through birth.

David by revelation testified about God’s involvement in our pre and post – birth formation:

You alone created my inner being. You knitted me together inside my mother. I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this. My bones were not hidden from you when I was being made in secret when I was being skillfully woven in an underground workshop. Your eyes saw me when I was only a fetus. Every day of my life was recorded in your book before
