God knows how I appreciate Oprah, what she has overcome, and what she has been able to do over the years. But, her reason to not marry concerns me.
Take a look at this interview on Youtube and listen carefully to her reasons why she refuses to marry. It is definitely, NOT the mindset you want to have towards marriage.
I don't know of any wife, that wouldn't want to do anything nice for their husband when he is the loving, caring, and sensitive to her needs, type of guy. But if the truth be told, Oprah is not the only woman that fears the "S" word. (Submission.)
Could it be Oprah's past why she refuses to marry or could it be the billions of dollars she makes??
Well, like I said before it is NOT the kind of mindset God would want us to have towards marriage. God calls us all to submit to his authority/His word and in marriage woman and men are to submit to each other out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:2
I pray that Oprah will come around and do what is pleasing in God's eye: marrying her main man Stedman.

Some Background Info About Oprah.
"Oprah Winfrey was born poor and black in Mississippi in 1954, when poor and black meant no flush toilets, no shoes, and no real chance to get ahead in the world. She was supposed to be "Orpah" Winfrey, named for the Biblical Ruth's sister-in-law (see Ruth, chapter 1), but the name was spelled wrong on her birth certificate, and soon everyone was calling her Oprah. She learned to read at home, and skipped kindergarten to go straight into first grade. She skipped second grade, too. At 17 she was working as a reporter for a local radio station. She was a bright kid.
And beautiful -- at 18, Winfrey won the Miss Black Tennessee beauty pageant. At 19, she was anchoring a newscast on Nashville's WTVF-TV. She later co-anchored the nightly newscast at WJZ-TV in Baltimore, and co-hosted a local talk show called People Are Talking, before jumping to Chicago's WLS-TV. Her morning talk show there debuted in 1984, and rose to number one in the ratings within a month. Outside of local telecasts, Oprah first drew national attention in her film debut, The Color Purple, for which she snagged an Oscar-nomination as best supporting actress. She's acted in other films since, but never nearly so well. Winfrey's talk show went national in 1986, and as it had in Chicago, Oprah took the top spot almost immediately. It's been the top-rated daytime talk show ever since.
Winfrey has spoken of being sexually abused as a child, and stated publicly that she'll never have children of her own.
She is the first black American woman billionaire -- net worth $2.4B (Forbes 2010) -- and reportedly makes about half a million dollars a day from her TV show alone. She owns or co-owns the Oxygen Network, O Magazine, her own Harpo Studio, Harpo Productions, Harpo Films, Harpo Print, Harpo Video, and the Oprah Winfrey Network. Harpo, of course, is Oprah spelled backwards."
