"Now that I’m Christian, I have to get married."

"I’ll buy a house when I get married."

"I can’t wait to be married. Being single is so lonely."

"All of my friends are married or getting married. When will it be my turn?"

Sound familiar?

Let's be honest, do you think Mary, in her human mind, desired to be with child out of wedlock? As a Christian single mother it can be very hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We see plenty of examples in the bible of families and marriages, but not too many of single parenthood. Some of us single mothers may have a desire for marriage and some may not.
