[erikanutella]

Me too... I am still single at my age(40), old already... I don't know. Maybe God is so jealous everytime got a BF, online and offline, we separate ways.

Sister
Maybe because who give so much time to your previous relationship and you forgetting your creator

I know God has better plans for you ^_^ Have Faith and Keep it in Prayers that You will find a Guy that will be approved to God for you

------
as for me I'm Single because I chose to have Relationship to God intimately than to Human (Opposite Sex)^_^
`I know I deserves someone who can Love me and Have same Faith like me or much better more than mine.
`I am also thinking of settling down anytime but the perfect Guy is not yet coming ^_^ and I know God best timing is always perfect.

erikanutella I know you are right thats why Im at peace with it. I am spending this time focusing on my relationship with God,

 

[Thebo55man]

19 year old male and single. Mainly because God hasn't placed a woman in my path yet. Or maybe he has and I just haven't noticed. Who knows, it might not even be in his will for my life to have a relationship. I'm not really worried about it.
I gotta mature in my relationship with the Lord first anyways.

I'm single becoz I want to but did many failures in the past (most of them in school) and can't find someone suiting me and I'm still 16. And I think to have a gf can lead to sinning

I can only speculate why they "liked" what I wrote. But I CAN tell you why I wrote what I did.


Perhaps the OP didn't mean it this way, but many ask "why still single?" with the implication that there is something wrong with it. Being single well into adulthood seems to make others uncomfortable, especially those within the church. It's sad that there is more acceptance of single adults outside the church body than there is within, especially when the divorce rate among Christians parallels that of non-Christians. We can't just assume that being half of a Christian couple is going to equate to some kind of "success."

So while I will probably want to get married again some day, I'm not going to rush things just to satisfy a cultural norm. For now, I'll stick with my answer that I am single because I am not married, nor have I a girlfriend.

Smart, and very wise way to go about it. Love is not a contest.

I don't understand why people act like being single is a horrible disease. I guess should be glad that my happiness/worth isn't overly dependent on others. I am worried about the bitterness that today's singles hold tight to. So many christians are allowing what others did to them in the past, control what will happen in their future. It's no fun watching my Christian friends allow past relationships to dictate their day-to-day life. Some have given control of their lives to people who don't even think about them anymore. It is a painful thing to see.:/

Being a single person is not a horrible disease! It is God's time to show us who we are in HIS eyes, and in HIS way. We are to be full of gratitude for this time with HIM. Thanking him daily for giving us the gifts of devoting time to learning and becoming who He wants us to be TODAY! Praise him! We need to change our thinking if we are to live a selfless life. I read a blog post saying "God is NOT our personal Genie." Why would he ask him to fulfill our earthly wishes and ignore his Heavenly wishes?

I'm a 37 year old single lady from Malaysia. Many people in my circle says (1) I'm too picky, (2) Too ugly and fat to be taken, (3) Too young to be taken [My looks don't really reflect my age], (4) Not meant to be married, etc. Well, after a few failures I made myself (trying to things into my own hands - like Sarai giving Hagar to Abram to bear a child then), I've decided to surrender to God and just wait.

JustViv, I am sure you are exactly as God would have you be. You are His child and beautiful in His sight. I care not what people think of me...this world is temporary and I only care what God can do to my soul. Stay pretty sister.

 

[setapartgirl]

Why i am still single at 28?i am also asking that too, i mean i have a career, i am not that ugly, educated and all, so why i am still single?

I tried dating non believers, believers, tried to lower my standard.

But God wishepered to me, Daughter it is not your season first, just Let me be, i know what I want for you, I have better in mind for you, no matter how hard it is, waiting and patience is difficult, but just Trust me.

And i said alright God, i give it all to YOU, and pls guide me whenever i am tempted to do it on my own again.

Yeah i am still struggling, especiallý with the people who are pressuring me, and i was like HEYYYY i am just 28!not 68!

I am so glad to see you talk about how God isn't a genie. I feel that's what a lot of people tend to try to use Him as. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with praying for a spouse. I've done it before... But why the constant prayers, each and every night for one? The way I look at it... He's God. He hears your prayers. In fact, He knows what you think before you even pray for it. So part of me doesn't get why some people have to pray each night for a spouse. Again, there's nothing wrong with wanting one or praying for one, but I feel some people feel they know God has one for them. Which some might.. But if He does, He'll bring you one in His timing and not ours. For me, I honestly have no idea if He has one for me. If He does... Fantastic! If He doesn't... Fantastic also! I don't know. It just feels like when we constant make a request to fulfill our desire, I think that comes across like we're thinking of God as kind of a "fulfil our wishes" type of God, or as you put it, a genie, which He isn't. Maybe that's just me.

Probably because me and the mother of my daughters didn't work out lol.

I hear you, in my case God yelled loud. I was engaged to someone who pretended to believe, but actions are more important than words, and his actions didn't match. I heard God so loud the next day I moved my son and I out. I cant say it was easy, but God has kept me and provided. God gave me strength and courage I didn't know I had. I know what you mean about struggling and pressure. If you ever want some one to talk to inbox me, my sister in faith you are not alone.
