First up today, let's go to Sarah calling in from Las Vegas, Nevada. Sarah, what's your question for,

Adriel? Hello. My question today is, what should we do when we realize we've made marriage

or the idea of marriage an idol?

This is often a problem among Christian singles.

I myself have a strong desire to be married, and I want it to be Christ-centered.

But I'd be lying if I said the idea of marriage isn't competing with my relationship

with God.

And I feel as if I'll ever be able to marry because this idol feels so undefeatable.

What advice do you have for Christian singles who want to love God more than the idea or the hope for marriage?

Hey, Sarah.

Thank you for giving us a call.

Let me just say something.

A lot of times I remember when I was single, people saying things to me like, you know, once you're, once you reach that point of sanctification

where you're really ready for someone, that's when the Lord brings somebody into your life.

And it sounded to me when you said, you know, I feel like maybe I'll never get to get married

because I have these feelings, this sort of disordered focus on marriage that seems to detract from my love for Jesus, my passion for Jesus.
