There is another aspect to this business of husband and wife claiming, that I need to address myself to. Some have been claiming husbands and wives for a long time, and they haven't received yet. They are wondering what is wrong. I think that the Bible gives us a little clarification here, and we need to examine this, because it is very important to us.

In James 4:1-3, we read; "From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." There is such a thing as asking for something and having the wrong motive. You can be doing the right thing, but have the wrong motive. To claim a husband or a wife for the wrong motive is really not right. He said, "You ask and receive not because you ask amiss." In other words, your motive is not right. "You

ask amiss that you may consume it upon your lust."

Now, when I say that you can put your order in for a husband or wife, what you really ought to do is to claim a husband, or wife, and then leave it up to God. You have claimed the husband. You have claimed the wife: now leave it up to God to bring that person into your life. Some have gone off the deep end, and they are claiming; "I want her to be 39-24-38," or whatever, and they are really not operating in Faith. They are operating out of lust. What does the size of a woman's breasts have to do with the happiness of marriage? We have got lust on our minds.

What difference does it make if she is 39 inches or 37? Is two inches going to make you happy? Is that what makes a good marriage? Some have said, "He has to have 25 inch thighs, and 15 inch calves."

The size of the organs, whatever organs we are talking about, does not determine the happiness of marriage. And when you are really that concerned about whether it is 30 or 39 inches, you are not operating out of a desire, just to have a wife, you are operating out of a desire to have some kind of physical play toy. Your marriage is already doomed to destruction, because your motive is not right in the first place. She has to be a certain color, and have a certain kind of hair, and be a certain height. Hair has nothing to do with you being happy, I know some people who have the prettiest hair that you would ever want to see: the most beautiful people, yet they have the worst marriage in the world. I also know some folks, on the other hand who are bald-headed and have the most beautiful marriage going. They don't have any hair! Don't you think that God knows that you don't want some ugly worn out something, be it male or female? Don't you think that God has enough sense to know that? You trusted Him

with your salvation. You trusted Him to write your name down in the Lamb's Book of Life, why can't you trust Him for a husband, or wife?

Why does she have to be 38 or whatever?

"If it ain't that, I don't want it." You can see right there you are in lust. You don't desire a husband, or wife: you are looking for some kind of flesh toy to play with.

Friend, what you look like outwardly, whether your hair is long, short, nappy, kinky, straight, blond, black, brunette, or you have no hair at all: whether you are tall, or short: whether you are 22 or 39 inches in the chest, none of that automatically is going to make a happy marriage. If you don't get beyond that, you are doomed already, even before you start, because marriage is based on more than sex.

In our society, we blow sex so much out of proportion that we think that it is the great determining factor. She thinks she is going to be happy because he has a certain size thigh, or a certain size this or that. How do you know that that is going to make you happy? Besides, what guarantee do you have that after you marry him, that he is going to stay the same size anyhow? I know a person in the church that I pastor, that I went to high school with. A beautiful young lady, physically: short, slim, and trim. The person is still a very beautiful person to me, but she has—

over the years, because of many different circumstances permitted herself to get five sizes bigger than she was then. And now, she doesn't look as good in her clothes.

Just because he is that size now, does not mean that he is going to stay that way. And just because she is that size now, doesn't mean that she is going to stay that way. So what are you going to do after she has your third kid?

Before she had all those babies she may have been standing out there nice and firm at 38 inches. But after those babies, she may. not have that nice shape.

It's true. You know. This is where we live. If somebody had talked to you about this before you married, you might not be in the problems that you are now in. This is life; we need to face the facts and the realities of life.

Marriage should not be based on physical dimensions.

Your happiness is not guaranteed because of physical dimensions: that is Foolishness: that is not trusting God.
