How does one know if he is eligible?
I want to remain single; indeed, I've vowed to God that I would remain single, but I fear that my vow was hasty. (I made it within a year of my conversion). I fear God has not given me the ability to remain single without sin.
I've not 'known' anyone, but I struggle with lust. Relative to most persons I know, my libido is near non-existent--but it is there.
I've spoken with my pastor, and he thinks it would be "wise" of me to marry, but he admits that he has no way to rationally demonstrate this wisdom.
If one struggles with lust, is it impossible for him to learn self control outside of marriage?
argh! sorry to bother y'all with this, but this topic is almost taboo in the Christian community, and I don't know where else to turn.
Thanks,
Owl
