So, you are searching and not searching?
Nvm, that actually makes sense. It be like that!
Pretty much, I mean I do have an account on Christiandatingforfree, but not getting any results, and personally I am tired of trying because I am sick and tired of the rejections.
I am a single and I certainly would want to be married again, that is a sure thing, but I want it this time to be with a person God has chosen for me. I keep my eyes open, and I am asking God to close all doors that should not be opened and to open the door that should be opened. So I am kind of searching even thou I have not been very active doing so. I have for example not been going to any dating sites/apps. I am instead counting on God in this.
All I want is that God is guiding both me and the other person so we find each other. I know it is better for me to be a single man than married to someone God has not chosen for me. Without God guiding I know I will remain single, as there are no Christian singles close to my age where I live. I am rather a single than marrying a non-believer.

That is true, but right now I think I need to seek for some sleep, I am looking up at the ceiling, and I think their is a candy cane stuck in the vent.
Can you be serious. I was going to propose someone to you. but you not serious
Yes, I can be serious, actually, their really was a candy cane stuck in the vent, even Brent was at a loss to explain how it got there.
Hello everyone!I am single and I am searching. I'm also tired so I won't write a lengthy follow-up....
Honestly with this kinda of thing I’m a bit conflicted. I’ve struggled with lust within all my relationships for years as well as impatience when it comes to wanting to find a partner and settle down. It’s not something I wish to rush but I also struggle with the fact that it could be getting away from me. The fact that people say I should be “happy” to be single and “enjoying my singleness” whilst getting to go home to their loving families and partners tends to annoy me more than I’d like to admit.
I have struggled with the idea that I’m not good enough or that I am “too much” regarding my personality and sense of purpose for anyone to reasonably handle outside of God himself. It feels like relationships make self improvement harder sometimes but the draw of wanting to be loved in a physical and visual sense is very much appealing. A lot of people say that “God should be enough” while others say that “man was never meant to be alone” so it’s confused me a bit more. Is there any way to really get a clear picture… is it just a varying outcome dependant on the individual’s circumstances?
I think the fact that God created Marriage within the first 3 chapters of Genesis speaks volumes, It was never Gods plan for people to live alone, if it was he never would have created marriage, but God himself said "It's not good for man to be alone, I will create for him an helpmeet". I mean everyone is different, if people are happy being single, then their is nothing wrong with them living alone if they choose to do so, but in most cases it's better to find the right someone if your looking for a long term commitment like marriage. It's also better to live alone than to live with the wrong person. I am sure God has someone waiting for you.
I definitely agree with you concerning the first part. Reading the Bible, you see that God puts great importance on marriage. The more I read the Bible, the more I see the importance. Also, he basically created everything for 2 married people (and their impending offspring, who were supposed to also be fruitful and multiply).
Of course, we now live in a fallen world and there are some people who would do best staying single for the benefit of themselves and/or a potential partner. And there are some who just aren't wired for marriage or marriage isn't in the plans for them by the Lord (like Paul, for example).
But, I do believe that marriage is way more important to God than people realize. It could be that some married people realize that less lol.
That is so true, It's more than just living together, it's a support system, a buddy system, It's companionship, it's accountability to someone, It's economical, it's an investment, it's learning and teaching, the list goes on.
