God told me to Marry you??

A young man woke up with the strong impression that God wanted him to marry
a young lady he dated a few times. But, in reality, the couple barely knew
each other. The next day he called her and relayed the message. The girl
figured that she shouldn't argue with God, so she accepted the proposal.
Since their marriage seven years ago, they've struggled for survival.
Anyone who believes that God guatantees every Christian a successful search
for the perfect marriage partner is in for a shock. This does not mean that
He is disinterested in the matter. But God does not perform routine
matchmaking services for those who worship Him. To honor our trust in Him,
He gives us wisdom, common sense, an discretion, and He expects us to use
them.
