Are you really suppose to be married? My mother tells me I'm suppose to be married now. I'm 28 yrs. old and not married. I don't believe I'll ever get married. I'm giving myself till 30 yrs old and if I'm not married by then forget. My mother gets upset over all this.

Hi, Missy, and

WELCOME!!!

I don't think everyone has to be married. Your mom is probably thinking of all the beautiful grandchildren she's missing by you being single..... :il:

Marriage is a personal choice, not a requirement.

God Bless,

I believe that some people are called by the Lord to remain single. I have several friends who are not married and to be honest, they have never had a burning desire to be married. They all have ministries in their church to which they devote a lot of time and they are free to do summer missions trips which give them a lot of satisfaction.

1 Corinthians 7:32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband .

No, you're not supposed to be married. You just do what's right for you. Jesus said those who marry will face many troubles in this life and that an unmarried person may find it easier to dedicate themself to the Lord since a married person may become more concerned with dedicating himself [or herself, respectively] to worldly affairs.

Like the person above me, I would recommend reading 1 Corinthians 7.

"Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry. But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband."

"Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion."

I doubt you will find anyone that says you are supposed to be married. The scripture offered allready is a good place to study. I'm 28 too. I have been married for 6 years and I am supposed to have children by now according to my mom. I think she's just plain wrong! :rofl:

Hi, and welcome to Worthey Boards.

There is no reason for you to be married if you have not found someone that you simply can't live without. To get married if that someone has not come along is crazy, and most likely bring you much heartache. Paul tells us in the scripture that it is better not to marry if you can controll yourself.

You should be out on your own and not living with your parents at this point in your life. I only say this from problems that some friends had with a 40 year old son still at home.

Yeah, I'm 33 and single. I know the feeling of frustration.

About 2 years ago was when I was deciding to call it quits - but yet I found myself still hoping despite myself that the next guy I meet....

I know a woman who didn't get married until she was 40! It just took that long for her and her now husband to "find" each other and all that.

Missy, you may not be able to change your desires for marriage. What you can do, however, is determine to use your singlessness to God's glory for as long as you may still have it. You have a lot more freedom as a single person than as a married person, especially a married person with children.

If you can yield your singleness to the Lord and while you are still single learn to set your desires on Him, despite your longings, you will find yourself in a more intimate walk with the Lord than you ever thought possible.

I've hear that love is not finding the right person but being the right person.

So, use your time to learn how to be the best person you can be. Then, if/when the Lord does bring a man into your life, you may have an even better relationship with him than if you had not become a more mature young woman.

And truly, to have it in your heart to yield your status (single vs married) into the Lord's hands will take a lot of pressure off your shoulders; let Jesus carry this heavy burden for you, cry to Him in your loneliness and learn to be comforted by Him, experience the joy of knowing Him as "the lover of your soul." No, it's not the same as physical man, yet it is so good to be in love with Jesus that way!

I speak from my own experience.

And who knows but that the Lord does have a man for you, but that the Lord has purposed this man be the best he can be for you before you meet? Having a man like that is worth the wait - trust me!

OK?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
