A: No, marriage is not for everyone. For those God calls to marry, however, they must wait for His choice and His timing. If we allow God, He will lead us to the mate best suited for us, although not necessarily perfect. "God's best" is such person who complements our personality, background, and desires, and whose genetic makeup, when joined to ours can produce offspring pleasing to Him, to us and our spouses, and to our fellow men.The variables involved in this are mathematically staggering. it is, therefore, essential for us to seek God's infinite wisdom in the choice of our mates. It is good to ask God to lead you to various places where there are single people to meet -- social gatherings at church, an educational opportunity, or some other place where there are people of like interests and beliefs.
Only a mate who Jesus Christ living within can ever be considered suitable for us. That is standard. Only then can we pray for someone responsible, dependable, godly, not quarrelsome, with a submissive spirit, among other things. From there, we can look forward to limitless possibilities regarding specific traits and attributes because we can never stereotype "God's best." Each person has a unique personality. It will take one unique individual to complement another.
