Marriage is not really your key to happiness

There are many young women out there that are sad and depressed because they are not married today.And the feeling is worst when more than half of their friends are Married.they have this strange reasoning that once they too get married every thing will be okay and complete in their lives and the sadness they are experiencing will automatically disappear.IF this sounds like you ,do not worry you are not alone. Over 60% of unmarried women feel the same way. Especially in Nigeria and most African countries where a matured unmarried woman is looked upon as somebody that is incomplete without a man or Husband in her life.I AM SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE BUT YOUR HAPPINESS DOES NOT DEPEND ON YOUR MARITAL STATUS:On the contrary according to the apostle Paul, when you do get married, get ready for troubles and challenges.And your ability to remain in your marriage is having the inbuilt capacity to deal with everyday challenges and troubles that comes and at the same time remain calm and peaceful

.
Most times we question God on why he is delaying from answering our prayers to grant us our life partner or helpmate  because we do not understand at that time that God knows us better than we know ourselves and He has seen that we are not ready for the challenges that might come with it.
We may end up to be like the Israelite's  that murmured and complained on their way to the promised land because they met with some challenges.And if you remember those group of people that left Egypt never entered the promised land .they all died on their way to the promised land.That is why Apostle Paul clearly stated that it is better not to marry if you can stand that than to rush into  Marriage  prematurely and then start complaining or jump out of the marriage when it does not turn out to be the bed of roses you had expected.
My point is, if you do not learn to be happy where you are now or do not learn now  how not to allow external activities   to affect your state of joy,You will not be able to have that joy or happiness simple because you got married.
May God himself give you the wisdom to know that Joy ,Happiness and peace only lies in the ability to understand Gods timing for your life and  to throw away your own timing and wait patiently for that Gods special  time.
HAPPINESS REALLY IS NOT ABOUT HAVING WHAT YOU WANT BUT IN APPRECIATING WHAT YOU HAVE:
Remain blessed
