I know you have wondered. I know you have gone back through every relationship and asked yourself what you did wrong, what was wrong with you, why it keeps happening. I know some of you have decided the answer is that you are too much, or not enough, or that marriage is simply not for you. I know some of you have quietly stopped expecting it.
And I need you to hear me clearly.
That is not a conclusion you reached. That is a conclusion the assignment wanted you to reach.
Because a person who has stopped expecting marriage will stop fighting for it. And a person who has stopped fighting is the easiest person in the world to keep delayed.
I have been in ministry for over thirty years. I am the mother of eight children. I have sat with men and women who were brilliant, kind, genuinely ready, deeply prayerful and still could not get a relationship to cross the threshold into marriage. Not once. Not twice. Over and over. Same pattern. Different person. Same ending.
That is not bad luck. That is an assignment. And an assignment can be broken.
