Is It Wrong to Want to Be Married? Advice for Christian Singles Who Wish They Were Married

The Bible does not condemn the desire to be married. If you hope to be married, it is natural and good to be discontent with your singleness. The danger is when you allow yourself to be discontent with Christ. Through Christ, we can be content “in” every situation (Philippians 4:12-13), even our unwanted singleness. But that does not mean we must be content “with” every situation. Your heart must find its ultimate and total joy in Christ. But even in your joy with Christ, you can be unhappy with your circumstance. You only sin when you allow your unwanted circumstances to affect your joy in Christ.
