If you want to be a good husband to a good woman, learn to enjoy doing the dishes, putting out the garbage, hanging the washing on the line, cooking the evening meal regularly, making the cups of tea, pushing the supermarket trolley for her, feeding the cats, cleaning the toilet, making the bed, and doing the hoovering. Mowing the lawns, trimming the shrubs, weeding the garden, sweeping up the leaves would be an extra bonus. After 28 years of marriage, I have learned that my wife appreciates those things much better than me having two academic degrees.
I was 40 when I met my wife, and was married at 43, in 1990, and my daughter was born in 1992 when I was 45 years of age. A bit of maturity in marriage and child-rearing is a great thing!One of my brothers was 35 when he married; I was 36.
That was a long time ago, and we're both still married.

I was a school dropout, and I entered university as a special over 21old applicant, I had to get a certain number of credits in my first year to matriculate, which I did. I completed BA in English three years later (1987), and then went on to do my MA part-time and finished it in 1992. It was a great journey, and I made many friends. I did the MA with the same attitude as Sir Edmund Hillary climbing Mt Everest: Because it was there. Also, I felt inferior being a school dropout, but when I finished my MA with a B+ pass, I no longer felt inferior to anyone.You mean: basically the same things that I have to do as a single person?
I'm interested in learning more about your education and experiences with academia. I'll send you a message momentarily, if the forum allows.
Hi the best thing to do is be a godly man working in ministry and trust the Lord to provide your needs. Many a shallow man has found a good woman who would leave him latter in life. If you prepare yourself to be kind,understanding, compassionate,a spiritual leader that will attract a godly woman. At your age you should also consider the grace of God and put on your list single moms or divorced women. Many of these women are craving a godly man to be the head of the house. there is a great need for men of God to take wives from this pool.Someone else made a similar post to this, so it gave me the idea of doing (mostly) the same.
I'm 30, male, and single. I haven't been able to find any candidates in my area; the good churches don't have very many members.
And of course, I won't marry outside of Christianity. I've tried asking on Facebook for my friends to set me up with a Christian girl. I've made profiles on PoF, Tinder, etc. hoping that by some miracle I'd find a believer on one of those platforms. Christian mingle and similar services have effectively no one near me.
I also have the added difficulty of feeling very disconnected from people who aren't intellectuals. Unfortunately, it's not an option for me to try to find a partner at a seminary.
So then, how might I find someone? What else can I try?

What if God tells you to marry a prostitute as he told Hosea?
Can you find ONE place in the NT where the LORD even hints at telling someone that?

You think you are ready now, but with 3 years of schooling left, a relationship may get in the way. Relationships take a lot of your time. You can slack off on studies and skip class,
A final note, the ones that are intellectual are sometimes of the Women's Lib. group who challenge men in the workplace, with this competive thrust to do just as good a job. Some can, however, they are the ones who refuse to submit to thwir husbands as the Bible says they should. They want to be the boss and think sometimes they even don't need a man. Watch out for them.
He's still the same God. It's not impossible for God to lead Him to marry one, probably he'll be in the best position to convert her or God might want to teach something "What God has cleansed do not call common unholy' Acts 10:17
Matt 21:31 "Truly I tell you tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you"
God is unpredictable.
a square with a square will only do square things. a square with a circle will be challenged in different areas and start doing circle things. sometimes looking outside your comfort zone can be more productive in the long run for personal growth and long term contentment. There's no reason to force an attraction with someone but perhaps developing more comfort with people who are different than you will help you broaden your approach to a partner and in the end have greater success.I also have the added difficulty of feeling very disconnected from people who aren't intellectuals.
It seems to be up to God, so ask him. Also, take a class you are interested in to meet others with similar interests, join a group ( bird watching?), and you might consider changing your name. Black hole might be off putting to many women. It's like telling them to beware.Someone else made a similar post to this, so it gave me the idea of doing (mostly) the same.
