Getting Married to Someone I Met A Month Ago, Marriage Story of Mary
Marriage Story of Mary details the real story of Mary's journey in finding her husband, as she obeys God's will and ultimately discovers the blessings and divine promises of a biblical Christian marriage.
Born as the daughter of a poor pastor’s family, Mary begins recording her faith journey as an insecure middle schooler. Mary details the series of obediences that God requests of her to let go of what she, in order to be accepted by people, held steadfast to. Over the years, Mary realizes that everything God had asked her to let go of He had always proved faithful in providing in greater abundance and perfection.
But one day, God asks her a strange question. “Mary, can you give me your marriage?” Having prayed every day for her future husband with a list of 30 items ever since she was 13, Mary could not give to God what He asked for. With the plan of God having led Mary to a man whom she had never met to commit her entire life to in a single month, what was Mary to do? Would she be able to obey?

The reason why I decided to marry this man was neither a moment's choice nor a fluttering emotion. The only reason I was able to obey God's will was because of the relationship with God that I had built over the preceding 24 years. It was this relationship that opened my eyes to see beyond my thoughts and emotions to recognize the most perfect companion that God had predestined for my life, and it was this relationship that ultimately brought to me the greatest blessing of marrying my husband at 24.
Marriage is not about meeting the person whom I deem most ideal but meeting the person whom God deems most ideal. In marital decisions, many young people today look at personality, family background, occupation, and other self-centered standards. Some individuals even choose to marry without any parental intervention. But if these individuals so trust their independent sense of judgment, why do so many of their marriages end in brokenness, failure, and divorce?
Today in South Korea, more than 300 married couples divorce each day. This ranks ninth among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries and first in Asia. The decision that they had once been so confident about, in a few years, ends in regret. A marital judgment based on self-centered emotions, thoughts, and standards is clearly insufficient to recognize the most ideal spouse.
There is something young Christian men and women should remember. There is only one spouse whom God has prepared for us. And this spouse is the most ideal partner for us in God's eyes. Therefore, until the day that God leads us to this encounter, we need to equip ourselves not with our appearance and worldly standards but with open eyes, open ears, and an open heart to recognize the will of God.
Another thing to remember is that even a failed marriage, broken premarital chastity, and frustrated hopes for marriage can be restored in Jesus Christ. Have you given up on yourself due to a past divorce? Are you living in guilt due to a momentary wrong choice? Are your hopes of marriage crushed by low self-esteem and distrust of people? Even if you have been divorced, have lost premarital chastity, and have suffered through crushed hopes, there is no failure that can stand up against Jesus.
In the Bible, the majority of figures that represent our brideship to Jesus, including Judah's daughter-in-law Tamar, the prostitute Rahab, and the widow Ruth, were ethically and morally fallen people. This fallenness applies not only to those who have suffered through divorce, lost premarital chastity, and experienced crushed hopes but also to every one of us. Born with original sin, we are all unqualified to become brides of Jesus.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
However, the good news is that Jesus has given us a chance for restoration!
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
In Jesus, even a broken marriage, lost premarital chastity, and crushed self-esteem can be completely restored. I hope that Marriage Story of Mary becomes not a book of didactic knowledge but a book of God's love for you. I pray that Marriage Story of Mary does not stop at giving tips and advice for a successful marriage but goes beyond to touch your heart as God calls you to make new decisions in your walk with Him!
Sincerely,
Mary
