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.


Highlights

  • Christian marriage isn’t about finding the “perfect” person, but being willing to trust God through the unknown.

  • Fear of commitment and the “what-ifs” can keep many from embracing God's purpose for marriage.

  • ✅ WWII couples embraced marriage even in crisis—proving love often requires sacrifice over certainty.

  • ✅ Ephesians 5:25 calls husbands to love sacrificially—marriage is spiritual warfare, not emotional convenience.

  • ✅ In a culture that fears lifelong decisions, trusting God in marriage is a powerful act of obedience.
