Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord , she shall be praised.
Are you looking for a partner? Marriage is God's idea and was instituted by Him. God created Eve to help Adam fulfill the work that He gave him. This is the reason God said I will make for Adam a suitable helper.
Many a times, people consider the wrong criterias in looking for their partners. The word says the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God and the wisdom of God is foolishness with the world. God laughs at the world and the world laughs at God. Most of the times, people consider beauty, charm, financial status, property, job security and other temporary things when it comes to choosing a life partner. All these things are important but it's not what makes marriage a success. This is the reason many marriages end up in divorce and other marriages are just prison cells for the rest of their lives. This verse gives good insight to those who are looking for a life partner. When you look for a partner, the first criteria is whether the person is God fearing? It's not about how beautiful she is or how handsome he is. It's not about what kind of job they have or how much money they are making. It's also not about how much they love and adore each other. All these are temporary, go for the eternal. Jesus is the one who will hold the marriage relationship together with absolute joy and intimacy, nothing else will.
Friend, if you decide to marry, choose a person who is God fearing, one who honours God and keeps His word. Believe God for a God fearing partner and God will give you someone who loves God with all their hearts for only then they can and will love you with all their hearts. Don't let temporary things deceive you for charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting for a person who fears the Lord shall be praised. Stick to Jesus. Stick to the word. Choose him wisely, Choose her wisely.
