Going to a private Christian university means that there are several clichés about relationships. Between "Ring By Spring" and the "MRS Degree" many would assume every female is at the school to get married. I hate to break you but I am not putting myself THOUSANDS of dollars into debt and working very hard in my classes to find a man. I know dozens of young women who would agree to this sentiment. I am going to school to be in the career of my dreams where I can impact people everyday. I feel like my school perpetuates these by constant reminders of getting married. There is nothing wrong with getting married if you find a person you love. Nothing. My problem comes when this causes wo to feel like they are not enough without a spouse.

Ladies. You are enough. God made you with a purpose, and it may include a husband, it may not. Both are totally okay. God knows your heart and desires. "You have searched me, Lord, and you know me." -Psalm 139:1 I have always known I wanted to be a wife and mom someday and God knows that. However that wish doesn't drive my actions. I did not choose a Christian school because there would be more Christian men. I chose my school because I believed, and still do, that this is where God wants me to be for now.

So there is nothing wrong with getting married in college or to someone you met at college. Just make sure your foremost goal is to serve God as best can and grow your relationship with Him. As I said God knows your heart, just be focused on Him and the rest is up to Him.

"Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!" -Psalm 66:20
