Good marriages do not happen by chance, and they are not reserved for a select few.In His wisdom, God designed marriage as a beautiful gift to humanity; a means through which His will is revealed and accomplished on the earth.It is not the world that defines the purpose of marriage, nor the path to fulfilling it. That right belongs to God, the Giver of the gift.Only He can rightly instruct us in both the vision and the virtues required to live it out.One of the key foundations we learnt for a thriving marital union is genuine friendship. And in our season of singlehood, we are called to cultivate the kind of love that reflects Christ; a love that serves, honors, and uplifts others.As we build godly friendships and community, the Lord is shaping in us the character, humility, and selflessness that are essential for lasting, Christ-glorifying marriages.
