stable marriage problem
I stumbled upon this today. It's called the "stable marriage problem." Basically, it's a mathematical formula that proves that for any equal number of single men and women, it is always possible to marry everyone one off into stable marriages. Read it here.
I made two observations from this formula. 1) It is mathematically possible that everyone be married. It might very well be our sin that keeps people single. 2) It is mathematically possible that everyone be in a marriage not leading to divorce. Again, our sin is what keeps marriages from being stable.
Therefore, we, as a sinful community, are responsible for loneliness and broken marriages. Come Lord Jesus!

I can't believe no one has commented on this yet! Besides the improbable unspoken assumptions, clearly these people have the world figured out.
We can all go home now to our stable marriages with at least someone who was on the list - at some point - even if they we're first choice.....

I meant weren't first choice, as in it said stable, not optimal....
There's a ministry in TX called - P.H.A.S.E. (Patient, Holy, Anointed, and Single Entirely)
What a great name.
God is an engineer surely. But He put some element into the world which is the love between men and women, and which sometimes is against stable marrige. I don't think sin can simply explain all the complicated human behavior in this case.
