'...Christian marriage is a testimony of the utterly faithful and unchanging love of God for his people in a permanent covenant relationship with him. Christian singleness is a testimony to the complete sufficiency of Christ for the present age and gives visible witness to the hope of our eternal inheritance yet to come; and Christian sexuality is an expression of the exclusive unity and oneness of the marriage relationship.'
Barry Danylak, Redeeming Singleness: How the storyline of Scripture affirms the single life, p.214.
