Jesus Christ does desire for all of us to be married...to Him.

"It is not the New Age or secular humanism that is crippling the church today. It is a lack of love for God, the lukewarmness of the church, that is its greatest enemy. A lukewarm, loveless version of Christianity may succeed in propagating a little religion here and there, but it will never capture the heart of a dying world."-Jack Deere

Im sick of giving God just part of my life. I want to surrender all of me, completely abandon myself to Him. As women, we are captivated by romance, longing for the perfect man to come sweep us off of our feet. But Christ longs for us to be captivated by Him. He wants us to get butterflies when His name is mentioned! We are the Bride of Christ, and He loves us perfectly, more than any earthly man could ever love us. All the things we long for a man to be, they are found in Christ. He alone makes us complete. He is our comforter, our provider, protector, He thinks we are beautiful, we can fully put our trust in Him, He will never leave us, He sacraficed Himself for us, and in Him we find our true identity. Christ desires our earthly relationships to symbolize His love for the Church, which is only possible with our eyes on Him. And yes, He does bring some of us together with someone to show us a glimpse of understanding. But me must not lose focus, and put others before Him. He is our true romancer, and He wants to lead us into the deepest depths of His love. We just have to allow Him.
