As popular as marriage is, it is amazing that some people make it all the way to the altar without knowing or even loving the other person. But what if that other person is Christ? The Church is engaged to marry Jesus Christ but that can not ever happen under the wrong pretenses. Can we become the wife that Christ wants? We Know to understand Him and love His ways as much as He loves us. We need to ask ourselves what kind of fiance are we and can we increase our love for Christ...especially in this world’s climate of Laodicean indifference?
