    30's and 40's and have never dated

    No problem, hang on tight to your concern, if that's important to you. :thumbsup: My point was that a marriage could work out, regardless of whether the participants were dating good, bad, or not at all. It is God who makes two fallen people succeed in marriage, not their prior relationships...

    30's and 40's and have never dated

    Amen. So true. There's also a big difference between dating and being deeply committed for a lifetime (marriage). While one may be able to test the waters of intimacy and commitment to some extent, marriage tends to have that feeling of "okay, we're in it for the long haul, now". At least...

    30's and 40's and have never dated

    I hear you, nb37 :) .. One thing I've learned from all this is a new 'dimension' of trusting God.

    30's and 40's and have never dated

    I've thought about doing this, eatenbylocusts. I've been meaning to check out "Every Man's Battle" as I hear it has some good info for women. My sister found "Men are from Mars.." somewhat helpful. Of course we run the risk of reading about stereotypes and buying into these, but I think with...

    30's and 40's and have never dated

    OhJim, you don't think God could work within our everyday male-female relationships to help us in this area? Is an exclusive relationship the only valid training ground God uses? I've noticed that you're being vague here, OhJim..but if it's not too personal to share, what kind of "interesting...

    30's and 40's and have never dated

    If there's no one asking you out, after you've done all you can to let them know you're interested and available, then I think this is where God taps you on the shoulder and tells you to "be still, let Me handle it". It may be His way of preserving you from things you're not ready to deal with...

    30's and 40's and have never dated

    eatenbylocusts, do you think most mature singles who've never dated tend to become emotionally unavailable over time? Is there anything you read in your book that would suggest that these singles could be candidates for this type of behavior? Or is it talking about something else entirely?

    30's and 40's and have never dated

    You sound like me, nb37 :) . My thoughts about the question was, let's not leave God out of the equation. I too am trying not to stress about it too much. It's learning to put all my feelings of rejection and loneliness in God's hands and leave it there is where the struggle is for me.

    30's and 40's and have never dated

    Hi everyone, I've been doing some thinking about this question I came across at a singles forum on another website. The poster was concerned about singles in their 30's and 40's who had never dated yet really desired to be married. She was was wondering how they would ever get married without...

    Quips for Bitter Singles

    Yeah, some of these are nice, but these two, I didn't quite get.. I've been a virgin so long, airlines won't fly me anywhere that has a volcano. I've been a virgin so long, even the unicorns have started trying to hook me up. Help me out.. :confused:

    Question about God and our desires

    ..or maybe the Theology forum ;) .. But I understand your confusion. I think of it this way because God is omnipresent He exists "outside of" time, therefore He can see the beginning from the end. But I believe prayer is mainly for our benefit, in that it keeps us communicating with God which...

    Why so?

    I wouldn't go up to them and tell them anything about their cancer. If they asked me if I thought God was causing their suffering, I would tell them I do not know directly (especially not knowing their medical history and/or habits), but I would tell them that God has allowed their suffering in...

    Question about God and our desires

    Same here, Jenster. :wave: I too sense Him talking to me when I write in my journal. Maybe it's because when we're doing this kind of writing we're using our 'conscience' mind and that's where He's getting through to?? I don't know..

    Why so?

    What is the other side that you assume 'people' aren't considering. Sounds like everyone here understands the hurt that comes with longing for a mate. I would say most cancer patients who are Christians still understand God's love amidst their suffering. They understand that all things work...
