What to Do While You Wait for Marriage

Bible images
  1. Channel your energy through physical work and spiritual ministry.
    Engage in activities that build your character and serve others, redirecting focus from desires to meaningful pursuits.
  2. Don’t seek to be married for the sake of being married.
    Marriage should be a calling and not a mere solution to loneliness or societal pressure. Be content in your season of singleness.
  3. Let go of the sex-mad, adulterous world.
    Avoid the influence of media, peers, and environments that normalize or glorify sexual immorality.
  4. Program your mind with the Word of God.
    Regularly meditate on scripture to renew your mind, strengthen your resolve, and remain pure in thoughts and actions.
  5. Count on divine help for you to live without sexual fulfillment.
    Trust God’s grace to empower you to live according to His will, knowing He provides the strength to endure.
  6. Avoid potentially tempting situations.
    Be wise in the places you go, the people you spend time with, and the media you consume to avoid situations that could lead to temptation.
  7. Praise and thank God in the midst of your singleness.
    Cultivate gratitude and joy, trusting that God has a purpose for your singleness and that He is with you through every season.
  8. Have a close Christian friend of the same sex you can talk to.
    Build a supportive network of accountability and encouragement with friends who share your values.
  9. Remember that 1 Corinthians 10:13 is still in the Bible.
    “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” Trust God’s promise of help in times of temptation.
