| A Good Thing |
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord” (Proverbs 18:22).
“A prudent wife is from the Lord” (Proverbs 19:14). |
| It is not blind chance that unites congenial and compatible partners in the bonds of marriage. A wife (not merely a woman) is from the Lord, and it is an expression of His loving-kindness and favour. This being so, it is of the utmost importance that the young man, before he permits his affections to go out to a young lady, should seek to be guided as to the proper object of his attention by the Lord Himself. |
| There would be fewer incompatible marriages if the Lord’s mind was more often sought, instead of mere fancies and emotions allowed to direct. If you are a young person considering this ever-so-serious step, consider well whether such a marriage as you are contemplating is likely to prove an unequal yoke or a hindrance to your spiritual well-being or the progress of your soul. God desires your happiness as “heirs together of the grace of life” (1 Peter 3:7). The person you marry will either make or break your life. Pray much about it before you do it! |
