This blog is a result of time spent questioning why I was feeling so much pressure to get married all of a sudden. I know that many single Christian women are probably under the same pressure and feeling helpless about their situation, especially as they approach their late 20s and 30s.
I personally think that I would have been fine with the fact that I am nearing 30 and still single, thats if I didn't have people ask me at every corner when i am getting married. I have run out of answers! I tried laughing the whole thing off and giving answers like, "If I could propose to myself I'd be married by now" to being downright honest like, "I don't know" but none of these leave me feeling proud of myself.
Now as Christian women this should be the time for us to be growing spiritually and we really must do just that because the more time we spend thinking about marriage(or usually, a wedding) the less time we have to appreciate the time God has given us and the wonderful people around us. Now I think it would be great for us all to share our stories and laugh them off or support each other rather than allowing others to didctate out own lives to us. Jesus loves you more than anyone will ever love you, so bask in His love so tat when you do get married, you will be radiating love to your husband. A spiritually empty woman makes for a depressing wife, and no man wants that!
