Finding a Wife
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord.
As a teen, this was my life’s verse. Having celebrated fourteen years of “obtaining favor of the Lord” this month, I can add my own personal testimony to the truth of the verse. Although I sometimes wonder if “a good thing” is meant as an understatement.
I’ll let Kent deal with the how’s and how-not’s of finding a wife. I’ll simply say that I believe that the way the world goes about finding a wife is in the lust of concupiscence. I believe that the average young person in the average church has been so heavily influenced by the world and the world’s cultural requirements (particularly through the slice of the world they observe on Television) that they really have no idea how to go about finding a wife without an element of the lust of concupiscence. We would do well to study our Bibles on this issue, and to move away from the current model of recreational dating.
And furthermore, the Bible teaches very plainly that young people are to work through their parents towards finding a spouse. Kent and I may disagree as to the level of involvement or the specific requirements of Scripture. We do not disagree about the principle. Parents have more than mere “veto power” (as some refer to it). Parents have authority in this. And their teens must listen to them.
