All marriages have difficulty.

They're just plain trouble in the flesh.

Hardship, sacrifice, because two people are human.

And children are human, and they add more to

gravity to the scene and it all becomes complex.

If God has given you the gift of singleness,

stay that way and avoid the problems of

humanists that come in America.

Near the end of his life, the famed reformer,

Martin Luther Proclaim,

there is no more lovely, friendly, or charming

relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage.

Of course, Luther's joy makes sense when you understand

what scripture teaches about marriage.

The fact is marriage is a positive thing in the Bible.

So why would the Apostle Paul ever call it a bad idea?

Consider that here on Grace to you as John MacArthur

And keep in mind, this is not just a lesson for single people.
