When will I get married?

I would not concern myself with agonizing thoughts of "When will I marry?" . According to the Census, (http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/hh-fam/cps2008.html) most people get married in their 30’s (look at table A1, ALL races under above link). God is practical and He knows all about your biological clock, and need for companionship. Don’t fret over talks of “advanced maternal age”. That concept is man’s calculation but did that stop Sarah from having a child?

I would be concerned more with the “how”. How will I get married is important? This does not refer to wedding planning or reception hosting either. The definition of how is “In what manner or way; by what means, in what state or condition, to what extent, amount, or degree, for what reason or purpose” (http://www.answers.com/topic/how). Let’s hone in on the “in what state or condition, and for what reason or purpose. What state or condition needs to be nurtured in me right now that would better prepare me for marriage and motherhood? What is the reason and purpose for my marriage? What life work does God want my marriage to accomplish?

I want to leave you with this scripture, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.” Philippians 4:8
