Anybody interested in a robust, controversial column on marriage and Christian service should head over to Wintery Knight's blog and be sure to read all the comments as well. It will be fascinating --or frustrating (possibly infuriating) -- depending on your point of view. He starts out fairly tame:
The only virtuous reason for a man to get married is when he is convinced that he can do better for God with that woman by his side than they can do as singles. Once a man gets married to someone who wants to live a secular life of pleasure, he’s stuck – he can’t break up the marriage to save his ministry. Mike is right about that. So that’s why I say again to men – DON’T MARRY! Marriage gets in the way of your commitment to God, unless you are very careful to find a wife who will support you in your ministry.
But gets more controversial as he moves on. Read the whole thing. For the record, I think Wintery Knight is more right than wrong, though I think he overstates the intellectual capacity (and interests) he requires a Christian wife to possess.
