I have seen men and women that have remained single, that are still believing God for their own life partners in marriage without making any effort to do that which will bring this blessing their way. I know in your mind you may be wondering how possible it is to find a marriage partner amongst so many choices. You may also think that it is impossible to find the right person in a world that is full of different characters, pretences, uncertainty and changes.
Many eligible singles see the act of finding a marriage partner as a hard task of 'looking for a needle in a haystack'. Well, I have got good news for all singles, unmarried and even those that are married and are looking for ways to give biblical ways of finding a marriage partner to their children and friends. In these guidelines, I will be revealing to you, some Bible truths on how to find your own marriage partner.
God has provided some spiritual tools available in His Word for this purpose and the major prerequisite required, is in seeking, in order to find. God's Word in Matthew 7:7-8 says: Ask, and it shall be given you; SEEK, and ye shall FIND, Knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that SEEKETH FINDETH; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Proverbs 18:20 says: Whoso findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. The act of finding simply means you, taking some conscious steps, when you are considering marriage. The truth about marriage is that every man must find his wife, and it is not just a spiritual process. You must open your physical eyes wide in order to find.
Someone said love is blind but I tell you its not blind because in marriage It is your responsibility to assess what you are seeing, whether it is what you really want or not and the first step to getting a marriage partner is to sincerely DESIRE one. You must have a strong wish to have a marriage partner. Just liking it and wanting it, is not enough. You must also have a stronger determination to get it. There must be a strong desire for a partner because it is what you desire that will be fulfilled (Proverbs 10:24). So, if you sincerely desire in your heart to have a marriage partner, then let it find expression on the outside.
Admit your desire privately and publicly. Don't pretend! There is nothing to be ashamed of. Finding a marriage partner is not carnal thing, as long as it is done using God's laid down principles. It is this same desire that will consciously push you to find out what God's provisions for marriage as written in the scriptures are. You must find out what instructions, commandments, corrections, promises and counsel have been made available, for you to be properly directed in making the right choice. Your primary instruction manual to follow in order to be sure of success is the Bible. The scripture is the only sure foundation and since God is the author of the institution of marriage, He knows it better than any man.
He will not hesitate to show them to you when you genuinely ask Him to. Romans 8:32 confirms this: He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all; how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? The answer is, 'He will.'
Unlike your earthly parents, relations and friends who may at one time or the other try to match make marriage partners for you, God will not interfere in all you do in finding a marriage partner, unless you ask Him to in PRAYERS. His Word will show you what to do and how to go about doing it; but God Himself, will not get involved in it unless you invite Him to. This is so because of the event that happened in Genesis 2:20-25 when God "arranged" a wife for Adam. Adam did not experience the work of finding, choosing, deciding carefully or proposing to Eve. He just slept, woke up and found a woman beside him. With full excitement, he broke into prophecy and said, "This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh!"
I cannot remember him telling God 'thank you', since God had done all Adam needed to have done. Rather, his reply to God's question later on when things went wrong in the Garden of Eden was "... The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat" (Genesis 3:12). This in other words meant, 'God, you are the one that gave me this woman and she disobeyed you. I did not ask you for a woman ... if you had not given me this woman, everything would still be okay ... so, it is not my fault, it is yours". Since that time till today, God's new rule for marriage in Proverbs 18:22 is: Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. So, it is "WHOSO" findeth. You must do the act of finding a marriage partner by yourself and unless you invite me into the matter, I will not interfere in it!
However, God's help in making the right decision cannot be overruled. God only listens to the prayers of His children. You, too, can become His child today, by being born again. That is the only way you can begin to enjoy divine direction. If you are ready, please say this prayer: "Dear Lord Jesus, I come to you today as a sinner. I believe you died for my sins and rose on the third day. Forgive me my sins. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a child of God today".
