Marriage, Singleness and God's Glory

Our singleness can be a gift in that it allows us to serve God with the fullness of ourselves. However, marriage is a gift in which we model the triune intimacy of God. Therein, we bring glory to God by mirroring Jesus’ relationship with his church and the raising of children to the glory of God. As such, Christians are to remain married as much as lies within them, but are not faulted if an unbelieving spouse chooses to leave them.
