“So often, when we Christians talk about marriage and singleness, we seem to forget that we’re running a race. The things of this world are not our goal. We’re running toward an eternity with Christ and grabbing as many people as we can along the way to join us. For some of us, getting married to a fellow runner will help speed us up. For others, it would slow us down. Much will depend on the specific person we might marry, not just whether we marry or not. Marriage should not be the goal of life for any of us. Running after Jesus is the goal. And married or single, none of us should run alone.” -Rebecca McLaughlin
