The most puzzling question for most singles is "Who should I marry?" especially when you have lists to chose from. It is only at such time that most of us suddenly become spiritual just to be able to hear the voice of God say "Tola…lagbaja is your husband" #LOL.
It really doesn't work that way.
Like my Pastor usually says, "you cannot hear from God if you are not already acquainted with His voice" (Paraphrased). One of the characteristics of a relationship is 'Communication'. And regular communication brings acquaintance. This means that you get to the point when you are both thinking in the same direction. Imagine you and God having the same thoughts.
In the bid to know the will of God, we take names of our prospects to places for prayers. Is something wrong with this? Yes and No.
Hebrews 1:1-2 (THE MESSAGE)
Going through a long line of prophets, God has been addressing our ancestors in different ways for centuries. Recently he spoke to us directly through his Son. By his Son, God created the world in the beginning, and it will all belong to the Son at the end.

God speaks to us directly through His Son Emmanuel; God with Us. God is no longer far away from us. He no longer lives in hand-made Temples rather he dwells in us as His Temple. So, there is no need for a prophet that will approach God on our behalf. We not only have access to God, He is residing in us. He SPOKE to us DIRECTLY…
There is a problem if we are still seeking a prophet to hear from God. At the same time there is nothing wrong in approaching your spiritual elders to pray along with you to look into your proposition and give you guidance (Act 15:6).
Before God made Eve for Adam, He had made all other creatures which of course Adam had a relationship with. If Adam had married the Gorilla because he has a good relationship with the Gorilla in the Garden, then, Adam is in the Right relationship but in the wrong way. But because Adam constantly communicated with God he knew that Dog being the best friend of man does not necessarily mean it is his 'suitable' helper. He waited and looked up to God to have the Right relationship the right way.
It is possible that you are in a 'more than a friend' relationship with someone who is in your life for other reason than a "Happily Ever After". You could be in a 'just a friend' relationship with someone who is your Eve or Adam. I have really thought about how to 'be in the right relationship the right way'.
The persistent response I get is to "be in the right relationship with God the right way' and the Question of who to marry will be answered correctly.
