The modern Christian singles have some serious issues about arranged marriages and finding true love. The world in which we are living today has made us believe that anything arranged means that we were unable to find a viable mate to date and even marry later on, making it seem like we are losers. This feeling is more rampant among the youthful Christian singles who have not been involved in any relationship before. They want to get into the world with their heads held high, select a person they feel is the right one and with the use of the society’s accepted criteria of choosing a partner, they jumpstart their relationships. Most of these relationships have either failed or led to divorces, or the partners have decided to persevere with loveless unions, since they don’t want to be labeled as failures. I am not saying that arranged marriages are the ones Christian singles should consider, but it is good to say that these relationships have worked before and most of them have not hit a snag. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord. We must realize that relationships are not to be taken lightly and if you feel as one of the Christian singles out there that you are not ready for marriage, then do not even consider having a dating relationship. There is true and active love in arranged marriages, as compared to the notion that many people have regarding arranged marriage, that it is mostly guided by duty and not love. Love is a term that has been misused and has led to the demise of many relationships. Christian singles should not discredit arranged marriage, since they represent what has happened many a times in the bible. After Isaac, son of Abraham reached the age of marriage, a marriage had to be arranged for him, and in each and every step God was involved, giving guidelines and choosing the right girl for youthful Isaac. This is the relationship that gave birth to the tribe of Israel and God’s hope for the redemption of mankind. The good thing with arranged marriages is that the individuals who have arranged it for you know you very well as to know the right person who can suit you fine. This is what has made Christian singles to disregard it, since they don’t appreciate the notion that people know them well than them. Even your friends can arrange a marriage for you, and since they have interacted with you and know your criteria towards holy matrimony, they can find you the best, whether you like it or not. Those Christian singles who discredit this form of marriage have said that they lack in love and replace it with duty. They are mistaken. A union between two people who love each other means that the two individuals have found that their duties are towards the satisfaction of the other partner. Love is about duty, since you cannot help or make anyone comfortable for the rest of your life out of mere duty, but you can do so if you love them. The duty will not feel like a burden but as a way of making them happy. It’s what God wants every relationship to have.
