Well, I don't have a potential spouse. Because my older daughter is married now and my younger daughter is a semior in college, my ministry to them does not require the time it did when they were younger. Teaching is my ministry --- I can impact students who have no role models or who feel unloved. When the Lord sends me a potential spouse, I trust in Him to help me find the balance I will need. Nancy Let us share one anothers burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ

Always, always my kids while I am a single mother. I believe that the Lord will prepare my husband to be and the children and I in an uninvasive way for the transition into marriage. I would hope that he would be sensative and understood the needs of the children as they prepare to share me on a deeper level with him and be accepting of God's blessing with a father figure/role model. When that time comes, my beloved would come first, (after Jesus of course)followed by a close second with the children. My ministry would always be in the home before anywhere else. When they do grow up and leave home, my husband would still come first, followed by ministry outside of that union. Blessings Dennis. The body of Christ is like a patchwork quilt! All stitched together with God's love.

While my son was still living with me, it was him. My potential spouse will be my covering should I enter into a ministry and he needs to release me to do so. Hi there, just had to pop in to say hi.

Thank You ladies, and Paul

In a normal christian marriage, spouses come first to each other, then kids. This is good for the kids too, as it shows the right way to be in a marriage. My husband would have come first, and then we were one. Then we had the kids, and they need to see a united front, cause they will devide and conquer lol. And kids do better with this Godly structure. In mixed families, I am not sure how it works. And my kids would come before a prospective spouse. It would take a while for things to adjust to a more normal home, and each case would be different. Do I get a good grade?! LLW   "Love is Patient..."

oh and ministry is second after kids. And probably second to prospective spouse. Now if engaged, engaged spouse first. I'ts family first always. Then ministry. Lots of devestated, abandoned kids and spouses from ppl not understanding this. blessings, LLW "Love is Patient..."

Actually none of the above!!! My first ministry to God is to worship Him... be in relationship with Him then it would be if I had a husband - him, then if I had children - them, and my work and the service I do for church kind of side by side. And occasionally this is not how it happens.  One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4

My first line of defense is to pray to God, to make me a better mom and to show me my ministry. I think we all know where I stand on the spouse thing LOL

Justhisforever: My first line of defense is to pray to God, to make me a better mom and to show me my ministry. I think we all know where I stand on the spouse thing LOL Our first ministry to God is to take care of our family. Since this question was asked putting women in the place of being single with a child. The answer is your greatest worshipping of God is being the best mom to that child and making sure he/she is taken care of. Your need to find a spouce should be secondary to the needs of the children. I dont know how many children get lost in the shuffle because people want to mesh families together. Great answer Justhisforever, Mia. Some(Quietwalker) of you were taking it as if you were married, and if you were, then your husband is your first ministry. I understand the misunderstanding. My point here though is for people who are single parents to realize what their first responsibility to God is. Kwong your question was this What is your first ministry: Your Children or a potential spouce or ministry to God Your potential spouce or your children. Thats all it was asking

Your first is always your family. That is what blesses God the most. Its never off running around tending to others while your family suffers

First priority is souls...prayer and witnessing. That is my spiritual worship unto the Lord. Next is my kids.  Isaiah 42:8 " I am the Lord; that is my name! And My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images."
