Isn't it more of a distraciton if you want to put the Kingdom first? i mean of course its not bad thing becasue it originates from Jehovah but...what is your opinion?

Answer 1

mira girl marriage does affect your spirituality
but as it can be in a bad way like apostle Paul, it can also be in a good way too, specially if your husband has the same goals as you do(hablando de metas espirituales) because he won't let you fall behind and he will help you to stay in the same track and even mejorar, and if the person you are considering for marriage =) (your amor) is putting Jehovah's kingdom first now, and you see that his faith gets stronger then it's more likely that after marriage he will keep that same mentalidad, but either way BOTH of you have to keep on giving Jehovah the first place in your lives because only with his help you will be able to have a pleasing, happy marriage.☻
Remember what Mathew 19:4-6 that la triple cuerda es mejor ok ☺

Answer 2

Spirituality never effects your marriage life. Spirituality is totally different - it helps you in all matters. Spirituality never tells you to leave your house, not to get married. No its wrong. Even if you are spiritual empowered you can stay at home and work it on that. It depends how you accept spirituality. Its all about yourself - about positive thinking, about supreme god, and lot - but till date i have never came across any one telling me that marriages affects your spirituality. Pls make it clear what is spirituality.

Be sure your marring someone who shares your faith and values. You will be able to be much closer to Jehovah, as you will be able to help him more in his work. Assuming his work to building up families and sharing his good news message through out the world. Also in looking at the info you posted about you in yahoo, you have found a very good person to be with.
Keep the faith, and be a Great parent!

If you can't renounce the world and turn to God, then marriage is the consession for sex.

Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, "I am sex life which is according to religious principles."

It is religious to raise children and teach them the right path. The father and Mother cooperating to raise fine pious children are contributing to a more spiritual community.

As for me personally, I think it is straigtening me out and making me clear about life. I am much more serious about my spiritual life now.

As Paul says, yes being single is best in HIS opinion, notice he is the one speaking about how he feels....read it carefully and there is truth to what he says, for marriage can cause much distractions, and how the husband wants to please the wife and the wife wants to please the husband, and then God gets overlooked. WELL God also blesses a marriage that has HIM as the center- that is what is most important! God blesses marriage, as the Bible also says this, for He designed for man and woman to be joined together and reproduce, but also to follow Him as they live together. Those marriages are the best marriages....even through difficult times, with God in the marriage, it always survives! Putting God first.
It can be hard, but with God nothing is impossible, so if you and your husband both have your hearts set on God being in control of your marriage, God will surely bless it.
Marriage is definately HARD- I will not lie....I have at many times wished I was not married. But God reminds me of His faithfulness and that He loves me and my family...and will help us through whatever we are going through. I want HIS will over my own- my own would be to simply leave ( I feel that way many times) but I also know God has me here for a reason....and as long as I follow Him, I have nothing to worry or fear about.
ALSO let me just say, that if you are in a christian marriage and there are problems, God sometimes uses those problems to draw you closer to Him! Because we go to God when we need His strength and help- right? We seek Him in all things!

It all depends on you. Most people need a family for support, comfort and company. Some people are loners by nature and family life just doesn't suit them.
I have two autistic boys, and for them I seriously doubt they would even consider a girl friend much less anything else. Its just the way God made them.

Answer 7

It would all depend on the calling God has on your life if you are referring to 1 Corth 7:32-35.
But for me it has grown me more closer to the Lord, as the two become one. As my faith grows close in tie with my husbands.

Answer 8

Weather it is good or bad just leave in Gods hands!

God Bless

Answer 9

to me, marriage can strengthen your spirituality. a lot of young adults (20s) slack off on church once they leave their parent's house. but once they have children, they want to instill religious values in their kids, so they start attending church again. i also think marriage strengthens spirituality, because you are creating children who you will likely raise to also be spiritual. but, if you're a heathen (hehehehe) to start with, then children likely won't straighten you out.

Answer 10

if you can live alone and focus solely on God you should... Paul was the only one of the apostles who did. all the rest of them had wives... "he who finds a wife finds a good thing" Prov. 18:22
the more important questions are will i be a good spiritual leader for my wife/family and will the wife of my choosing hinder my walk with God or help it...
