Taking the Marriage Plunge: Why Commitment Still Matters
In today’s culture of overthinking, swiping, and fear of missing out, many Christian singles view marriage as too risky. But Lynette Kittle reminds us that God's design for marriage is not based on feelings or flawless partners—it’s rooted in faith, courage, and self-sacrifice, just as Christ laid down His life for the Church (Ephesians 5:25). Whether you’re navigating modern Christian dating or wrestling with the fear of commitment, this devotional offers a fresh and faithful perspective on why marriage is still worth the plunge.
