Is it wrong to not want to marry?

Well there are those who are to be married and those who are to be single for the gospel sake. Its ok to not get married but do understand most people in the bible who weren't married were very dedicated to the Lord, while others complied to the "be fruitful and multiply".

I'm going to go in the opposite direction of most people here and say - good for you. You're standing up for what 你 want, and not what society 或者 anyone else tells 你 to want, and that's not only brave, it's what 你 should do if 你 truly want to be happy in life.

Really, 你 don't NEED anything other people tell 你 that 你 need to be happy. 你 don't need money, 或者 a wife, 或者 kids, 或者 a white picket fence and a high paying job. What 你 need to be happy is what you want, not what anyone else wants, and this country was founded on the pursuit of happiness.

I don't know what led 你 to the place 你 are now. Whether it was a series of failed relationships, 或者 a lack thereof, 或者 something in between, 或者 maybe 你 never were interested in the first place, I don't know. It's possible, as others say, that this is just what 你 want in the moment and could change in the future when 你 "meet the right girl." That's possible, although it's not necessarily destined to happen, either. If you've felt this way for a long time, 你 may continue to feel this way.

The good news is that, unlike the opposite (wanting to get married, have kids, etc), NOT wanting these things and changing your mind later is much easier to do than the opposite. If 你 think 你 want to get married, then realize later 你 don't, you're stuck with a messy divorce. Whereas, if 你 change your mind later, all 你 have to do is find the right girl who wants the same things.

On the topic of sexuality, which I know many Christians do not like to discuss, it is possible (though I don't want to assume) that 你 are simply disinterested in romance and sex at all. If that is true, I just want to assure 你 that's a normal condition and to many people that sort of thing just isn't important to them and doesn't factor into their lives at all. And they still live long, fulfilling lives. Like I 说 - I'm not saying you are asexual - I lack the sufficient information - but on the off chance that 你 或者 anyone else is, it's a normal condition.

I believe that God told Christians to be fruitful and multiply in Biblical times because the Earth was underpopulated. In all honesty, in modern times, I don't feel that order applies. Instead, I'm sure God would be just as happy if 你 adopted an unwanted child and brought him 或者 her up Christian, rather than adding another mouth for this strained planet to feed and support.

I also don't think that all Christians must either marry 或者 be celibate priests. There are thousands of Christians who are single 由 choice. They're no 更多 或者 less devout than married Christians, either, it's just a life choice. And I know many Christians who believe if you're gay, the BEST choice is to just be celibate and refrain from marrying anyone - to avoid sinning through a gay relationship, and to avoid being miserable forcing him 或者 herself into a straight relationship.

I'm sorry Sweetie, I have been there and I think many people go through feeling like that at some point and some stay there longer. I think God wants us to be complete as human beings through Him and in ourselves. People can be an aset and some do "alone" better and for longer (like me, I am pretty okay with myself and being alone) yet - a mate is for help 更多 than need perhaps. I don't think people should marry that have unfaithful tendancies and who know that, really, it is unfair. Ir may be a chance but I think if someone ALSO has a problem with the idea of a committed relationship then maybe they should shy away from that and give themselves persission to accept a truth about themselves.

Perhaps when someone comes along that 你 truly WANT and are evenly yoked with and it just "clicks" then 你 might change your mind. If not, it really is your choice. People say God did not make us to be alone, and yet I have found companionship in Him, in animals, and people in my life and I have 老友记 if I want to go do stuff. Everyone is different and yet we are v=basically the same. It is ONLY my opinion here, not scripture, but there is a difference in being alone vs. lonely, and a difference in being truly alone vs. content in where 你 are at. I don't know if that makes sense but in such choices, I pray about things if I feel I need to.

嘿 ShadowFan100, maybe 你 just aren't ready for that commitment with a woman, the commitment comes from a thing called love, when we 爱情 someone we never want to leave them and we want to have them in our lives forever, maybe 你 aren't ready to 爱情 somebody in that way, it's definitely not wrong not to marry according to the bible, in fact the apostles of the new testament even encourage it although they have nothing against married people, although according to the bible sex outside of marriage is wrong, tell me though, why have 你 给 up on women?

你 don't have to marry if 你 don't want to, no one can force 你 too

i'm gonna put it short sex before mariage is a sin but not wanting to marry is not

Well, it depends on what way 你 look at it. If 你 want to have sex, but don't want to get married, then, yes, it is wrong. But if 你 don't wanna have sex, but instead just wanna live a life without a BF/GF, that is perfectly fine.

Yes, it's still wrong because it's under God law. Also marriage is
a contract 或者 a law that 你 promise to live and 爱情 with the couple forever

Go dude! Who needs marriage? But in all seriousness, 你 do not need to marry if 你 don't want to. It's normal and if someone has a problem with that, it's their problem, not yours.

That's Just Fine.There Is Nothing Wrong With Not Wanting To Marry.According To 基督教 Marriage Is A Sacred Ceremony Which Can Bond 你 And Your Partner And Help 你 Come Closer To God But It Is Not Forced On People.You And Your Loved One Decide To Make That Step.Also Not To Mention That Most Couples I Have Seen Always End Up Breaking Up 或者 Living A Miserable Family Life Just Because They Rushed To Marriage !!!!
