God's design for marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and it is not an absolute commandment for everybody. Some people have the gift of being single, and it is a unique gift of God that should be maintained because it puts them in a position to be used by Him in a very unique way.

The most important thing in marriage is not finding the right person, but being the right person, and that means walking in the Spirit, demonstrating love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control.
