"I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that." - 1 Corinthians 7:7 (NIV)
"Brothers, each man, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation God called him to." - 1 Corinthians 7:24 (NIV)
"What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none; those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away." - 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 (NIV)
in one sense, there is no marriage at the resurrection (cf. Matthew 22:30). in another sense, the New Covenant is consummated in marriage (cf. Revelation 21:2).
Christ is waiting for His bride - the Church!
the way you treat the bride of Christ reflects the way you treat/will treat your bride. stop dating the church!
