If You Have a Boring Life Now, You will Have a Boring Life When You Get Married

By edhouston

bored picCreating a life is important. During your single status you need to be able to relate to others in life, especially when you are sharing your faith. If your life is boring and all you do is go to church, work, and home you may not be as effective with winning others over to Christ. People will often gravitate or aspire to those who are taking charge in life and living a balanced life of God, fun, family and career. I was on one particular date where the woman loved God but had nothing to talk about currently. She recited to me all of the things she would do some day when God blessed her with a husband. On the other hand I talked about all of the variety of interests and activities I was involved in without discussing a wife. It really made her think about changing how she viewed her own life. When I hear people make comments like, “I will do that trip one day when I get married” or “maybe I will be more active when God sends me a husband,” I cringe. This is the wrong kind of thinking. If you have a boring life now you will be boring when you get married. Nothing around you has to change within your single status, you do not need more job opportunities, friends, nor for your popularity to increase. All that needs to change is you. Once you change, your options will suddenly open up, and you will be on the road to becoming whole and balanced in your single life.

    Ed,
    That blog hit the nail right on the head for me! I have been going through the exact same thing with my life! Work, church, an occasional evening out with friends. Thank you for the on point words about balance, I preach to others about it but don’t practice it myself. I appreciate you helping me to see those fingers pointing back to me.
