God's perfect design for relationships includes both marriage and singleness as valuable gifts, each serving unique purposes in His kingdom. Within marriage, sexual intimacy plays a crucial role in uniting couples, preventing temptation, and fulfilling God's mandate to be fruitful. This intimacy should be freely given, regular, and protected from manipulation or neglect. Biblical grounds for divorce are limited to sexual immorality and abandonment by an unbelieving spouse, emphasizing God's desire for marital permanence.Singleness, equally valuable, provides special opportunities for undivided devotion to God's work. Singles can focus exclusively on ministry without the responsibilities of marriage, experiencing unique freedoms in serving the Lord. Whether married or single, the key is embracing our current status as God's gift and using it to honor Him. This includes healing from past hurts that may distort our view of relationships and actively pursuing God's design for intimacy and service.
