In the field trip of life, God has put us in a large group; we call it the Church. Some people are paired with a buddy. We call it marriage. You see, life is not the destination. Being wed to our Lord is. Single people need this perspective, so they won't over value getting married. Dating people so they will date only believers. Married people need this perspective, so they won't idolize one another and remarried people so they won't worry whether they were the first love or the second.
