5. Today we are taking a look at the topic "Marriage Isn't The Answer." #TheSuitableHelp

6. Dating Sites, Matchmakers, Social Media, etc are all pointers to how men and women alike are in search of love. #TheSuitableHelp &

7. Reality shows aren't exempted, the desire to win love if the coveted price isn't within reach is clearly evident. #TheSuitableHelp

8. How did we get to this point? What are we really looking for? What's the motive for wanting to get married at all cost? #TheSuitableHelp

9. Lets quickly look at some of the wrong reasons given for marriage. (1) To overcome loneliness. #TheSuitableHelp

10. Marriage may not solve this problem for you if you lack the ability to genuinely connect with others. #TheSuitableHelp

11. If marriage was the answer to loneliness we wouldn't have married people who are lonelier than singles. #TheSuitableHelp

12. (2) Pregnancy. It takes mature and responsible people to nurture destiny in a seed for God which these parties have not displayed. #TheSuitableHelp

13. Marriage is a lifelong commitment entered into willingly not an obligation that could pose neg. consequences for the child. #TheSuitableHelp

14. (3) To avoid premarital sex. If marriage was the answer to sexual sin, then we wouldn't have many marriages crumbling to infidelity. #TheSuitableHelp

15. Marriage could provide a ground for feelings to be expressed but the root of sexual sin can only be uprooted by God. #TheSuitableHelp

16. (4) Poor Self Image. Who you are is what you take into marriage. The solemnization does not endue you with self worth if you lacked one before. #TheSuitableHelp

18. The addition of the prefix MRS to your name changes nothing, if you were frustrated as a single you'll be frustrated in marriage. #TheSuitableHelp

19. God is the only one who can fill our deepest desires. He's the only one who can deal with the baggages in our lives. #TheSuitableHelp

20. He's the only one that can fulfil our need for love and intimacy. #TheSuitableHelp

21. You won't die without a man in your life; you won't just survive instead you'll thrive as a lady with great value. #TheSuitableHelp

22. Embrace your gift of singleness, invest in it now so you can reap the future reward even in marriage. #TheSuitableHelp

23. Marriage can only become an answer to God's destiny for you when you strive to become your best now (1/2) #TheSuitableHelp

24. So that your life compliments and helps another fulfil his destiny in God. (2/2) #TheSuitableHelp

25. What are those baggages you've been carrying  and hoping some guy will show up and relieve you of the burden? #TheSuitableHelp

26. You should be able to seek God for yourself, hear him for yourself and receive His touch upon your situation. #TheSuitableHelp

27. Marriage won't always be that picture in your mind (1/2) #TheSuitableHelp

28. There'll be times you'll need someone to agree with you in prayer and you'll not find one. #TheSuitableHelp

29. Your husband is going to be the head but that won't make him the spiritual giant, how I wish it was so. #TheSuitableHelp

30. God is your first love; feed on his love for you so that you can become whole, only then will your decisions be right. #TheSuitableHelp
