I suppose from the moment Bunyan's main character walked off from his family, his hometown, toward the Celestial City, that he never assume to get marry again.
At least Christian, and Faithful accompany him. Faithful died at Vanity Fair, correct me if I'm wrong. I forgot about Christian, is he with the main character until that river?
I am greatly surprised that there is no one section dedicated to the 'singles'. Perhaps I've missed it, I have only seen the 'family' group, and I admire people who are married, have children, and raise the family according to how God intended.
How would you advise a man like me, going 28, while waiting for marital grace? Perhaps God has celibacy gift for me, though I greatly plead with the Lord not to do so. Would be glad if you could share some of your experience on the waiting stages prior to meeting your loved one (i realise most of you are married? haha)
Also, touch on issue where marriage may be not feasible due to sickness issue. The last thing I want is to marry a wife knowing that I couldn't protect her physically. I am *all these while* rather underweight. I guess there's only so much I could eat, exercise, and the result is still a disappointed 47kg/168cm.
Yes, you can do pastoral counseling on this case. Am glad to be with PB. God bless =)
