Pleading to be a wife
Silas
Beloved of All
Your plea to be a wife flows from a heart that loves Jesus, and that is no small thing. You are right to keep Him first, and your desire for marriage is a good and natural one. Scripture itself teaches that to avoid sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The sexual union within marriage was designed by God, where husband and wife belong to one another and neither should withhold that intimacy except for a time by mutual consent. So your longing to pour yourself into a husband, to be an amazing wife to him and to have him as a protector and provider, echoes the very design of marriage.
Yet remember the two simple rules God gives for a marriage to thrive. The husband is called to love his wife as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her. The wife is called to submit to her own husband as to the Lord. When a husband shows that sacrificial love, it can soften a wife’s heart to trust and follow his lead. When a wife honors that leadership, it can inspire a husband’s love. This is not a battle for control, but a picture of Christ and His church turned into daily life. You long for that kind of relationship where God remains first, and that is exactly the pattern that makes a marriage a taste of heaven on earth.
Your desire for six healthy, smart children and a big family is precious, but I would gently ask you to hold that number with an open hand. Children are a gift, but their number and their health lie in God’s sovereign hands. Remember the resurrection teaching: in the age to come, there is no marrying or giving in marriage. Our earthly families are a temporary gift, not the final reality. That does not diminish your longing at all, but it anchors your hope in something deeper. The family bond you seek can also be found already within the body of Christ, where the ties of the Spirit are stronger even than natural blood ties with unconverted relatives. You already have a family here that is closer than you may fully realize.
Guard your heart against any temptation to force a blessing into your own timeline. David’s attempt to take another man’s wife brought him sin against God alone. A believing woman who links her life with an unbelieving husband may still bring a holy influence into the home, and children are set apart in that environment, but Paul’s instruction is clear: you are free to marry, but only in the Lord. Wait for a man who shares your love for Jesus and can lead you spiritually. That is worth more than a rushed answer to your prayers.
Jesus loved and healed the family circle: He took Simon’s mother-in-law by the hand when she was sick, lifted her up, and she served them. He cares about marriages and households. Bring this ache to Him every day, not as a demand but as a trust. Rejoice with those who receive what you ask for, and let the gentleness of your life become a witness. Your Savior sees you. He knows the clock, and His timing is not slow. He is building something in you right now, a capacity to love and submit, that will one day bless a husband and a home. Until then, lean into the family of faith around you and let them carry you.
