The scriptures make us to understand that marriage is good Heb. 13:4; Gen. 2:18. And every good thing is the believer’s entitlement in Christ, which God will not deny anyone of His child Psa. 34:10; 84:11; Pro. 3:27-28; Jms. 1:17. In essence, God is committed to give every of His child that desires it a timely, peaceful, joyful, fruitful and settled marital life Psa. 68:6; Isa. 34:16. But it takes God’s favor to experience marital settlement, peace and fruitfulness Pro. 18:22; Lk. 1:28-31.

Love makes one to enjoy preferential attention and treatment from who one loves Jn. 14:21,23. One of the definitions of favor is preferential treatment; it makes an individual not to go through what others go through before enjoying result.

Pride will make an individual to see everyone coming his or her way for marriage as not qualified. It makes God to resist an individual, which will always result in failure and destruction 1Pet. 5:5-6; Pro. 16:18; 15:33.
Everything in God’s kingdom is accessible only through faith Mat. 9:29. Faith is being confident in God and what He says to the point of doing what God instructs with the expectation of experiencing the reality of what He promised Gen. 15:5-6; Rms. 4:17-21.
When the believer has any other thing or person he looks unto, he is disconnected from God and His favor Psa. 62:5; 16:4. In essence, we must have all our hope, eyes and expectation on God alone, for us to experience His favor that guarantees marital settlement Jms. 1:6-7.
