Single life is good, it's so enticing to stay single because it's a choice; we like the freedom to do what and who we want - when we want. And that's frightening to think about giving up. It's our God given right. He even gives us the choice whether or not to choose him - so why would anyone want to relinquish that power?
Marriage is saying that I choice to stay with this one person forever. That's a hard thing to do, no matter what you say. Love is both good and enduring; and pros in my opinion outweigh the cons but truth be told, "till death do us part" is saying to oneself deny yourself the right to choose. Some can't deal with that right being "given" away.
Our walk with God is going a step farther, we're saying I'm both denying and "giving" myself away, my "right" of choice away, and not only do I want to do this in this life, I want to do this in the next life and not only that, but forever. Well now... Do you really? Some can't deal with that right to choose to being "given" away; for what, a life I can't see, but one I hope for? All I can judge by is what I can see
This is "Grown Folks' Business" when it comes to what we are willing to "give" in our walk with Christ. He wants it all and then some.
There's a difference between passing notes and sending love letters.
