I seen you guys
@Lisa and
@Robin having a discussion on marriage, and I'd like to clarify that those who get married and then get a divorce means God did not put them together. God has to put you together. If you're just like, "I have a bf/gf. We got engaged a few days ago! Okay, now is the day to start preparing wedding plans so we can get married by next week! Yee-haw!" Yeah, some people just choose their own path just like we Christians choose to walk on the path of life, while others choose to walk on the path of destruction.
Also, everyone isn't meant to get married. It's only those who God puts together, AND those who get married but end up not staying together after all because they choose it on their own, they didn't fast or ask God. Actually, even if you are a Christian, you can still get a divorce, I'm only saying that just in case you ask "Oh, so you think only Christians/those who ask remain together?" No, sometimes you have pricky walls put in your life for many reasons, one of them being for Gods glory. "Oh? So he gives us hardships for his pleasure?", no. I meant he does it to give you more strength than you had previously in order to bond you and him further. He actually does that quite a lot for his people, don't mind it though, it's a good thing.
All Christians aren't married. All atheists aren't married. All people of other religions aren't married. Only some. If God sees it would be better for you to stay single, then you stay single. For instance, I personally want to stay single but it's only because I put God before anyone, including my family. I feel like if I got together with someone, they'd distract me from the one who's far more important than them, which is God. Also, I'm a teenager so if I did want to get with someone, I'd rather wait until I mature more and become more developed; an adult perhaps 24 or so years old. Then again, just because I want something doesn't mean it's going to happen. Maybe regardless of what I want, God will do the opposite, and he DOES because it's GOOD.
Well overall, I'm saying marriage is decided by God, not by you. If he gives you a partner, you receive that partner. If he has you stay single, you stay single. If he wants you to experience love, and trials within it, and then stay single afterwards, then you experience love along with the trials within it, and stay single afterwards.
Important note: I said above that even if you are a Christian, you can still get a divorce. I'm talking about baby Christians (Christians who are still learning) and lukewarm/cold Christians, because mature Christians already know what to do in this situation.
THOUGH I MUST ADD,
even if you are a matured Christian, you're not perfect and God still gives you trials and tribulations. Example, he could have you get with someone to experience both the pleasures and pain which as a result in the end makes you closer to him as explained above. Just wanted to go more in depth because I didn't explain myself very well above.
