Should the Bride of Christ see other men?
Why do Christians get married?
How can I, (who claims to love Christ with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength) how can I love a girl as anything but a monk should?
In short, because I do love God with my entire being, I will gently but firmly refuse to fall in love with any girl, even if God tells me that "He can work it for my good." Why? Well, God can work anything for my good, anything at all. Just because He can work a relationship with a girl for my good, doesn't mean it's how I can love Him the best.
In fact, I don't think I should ever fall in love with anyone unless my Lover tells me to. Unless my Lover shows me so very clearly that my lover is what will draw me to His heart closer and faster, I don't need—I can't bear—a lover.
And I don't need to be afraid of missing out. The God who gave me this heartache for a lover will never give me a fragment less than perfection. He is my perfect Lover, after all. And at the moment that a girl is what I truly need, He'll put her in my life. And she'll be dang foxy.
To be honest, though, sometimes my heart bleeds for a lover. I'd hate to patch a hole in my heart with a bandage that will only fester. I'm holding out, despite my self, for something better, and someone perfect.
