My Beloved sister, today we will continue looking at things that marriage does not do for you. Today's message is on Marriage Does Not Cure Loneliness.
One great benefit of marriage is companionship. God, who authored marriage, said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him” [Gen 2:18 NLT]. Adam was very excited about this decision of God (I’m sure the creation of Eve really made sense to him). The companionship that comes out of marriage is so beautiful because there is no limit to the things you can do with your spouse.
But my beloved sister, marriage does not guarantee that you will not feel lonely sometimes. It will be an unrealistic expectation that your husband chases away your loneliness. There are times he will not be physically with you. There are times when he would like to be on his own. What will you do during those times? Sit down feeling lonely until he is back with you?
There is a loneliness you will feel which no one or nothing can cure. You can be in a crowd and still feel lonely. You can give in to an addiction, but when you come out of its euphoria, you will still feel lonely. You can get yourself occupied with everything but you will still feel lonely. Why? Because there is a void in each and everyone of us which only God can fill. Until you fill that void with God, the loneliness will keep surfacing whether you are single or married. The best time to fill this void is now.
As you prepare for your king, you need to have a life. He will not be excited knowing you were locked up in your room all day wallowing in loneliness. He will be excited to know you have friends and family, or you visit people, or you are developing yourself spiritually, mentally or physically. Your king will know that the same things you do as a single person is what you will do as a married person.
And please give your man time to develop himself spiritually, emotionally, mentally, etc. He will need this development to head the family.

This is so true. Being married or in a r'ship doesn't mean u won't feel lonely.
I thing you should move round blogs n leave comments. Lots of bloggers would benefit from what u write.
I just had to comment after skimming through. I'll go back and read later. But its funny, and a coincidence that the first message I watched this morning was on loneliness.
Cool blog.
