Marriage Is Not the Answer to Loneliness
Community and human connections beyond marriage are essential for addressing loneliness, as illustrated throughout scripture. Marriage should not be idolized or seen as the sole solution for deep emotional needs; instead, it is one of many relationships that enrich our lives. Over-reliance on a spouse to fulfill all emotional needs can lead to disappointment and disillusionment. Marriage is valuable, but it is ultimately a signpost guiding us to the greater relational fulfillment found in the connection with Jesus, which is the true foundation of thriving in life.
